It is quite possible that no contemporary music publication out there owns more biting wit, scathing humour and on-point critiques than those on Andrew Earles’ Where’s The Street Team? page in Magnet magazine. Sacred cows slaughtered for breakfast? Check. Hype monkeys brought down to earth? Check. Lame hipsterati acknowledged and reminded of their pathetic existence and utter uselessness? Check, check, check.
To wit: “Lou Reed just released an album designed specifically for yoga workouts…How I long for the days when Reed rocked a Joe Piscopo jheri curl and a guitar with no headstock.”
Hmm…that must be Lou’s New York period…Ah, those were the days…
