In my brief experience writing about music, I’ve made plenty of mistakes. Just a few days ago I incorrectly referred to Dumpstaphunk’s drummer as Anthony Webber instead of the proper Raymond Webber. Shit happens, and all you can do is try to keep the errors to a minimum before you lose all credibility. But there are a few mistakes that are just totally inexcusable. Maxim’s David Peisner reviewed the Black Crowes’ Warpaint, and gave the album two and a half stars out of four. Problem is, Peisner admittedly never heard the album. The Crowes quickly called out Peisner on his biff-tastic maneuver. Maxim’s defense is that the Crowes didn’t give out advance copies of Warpaint, and they wanted to make sure they had coverage of this major release. Have these guys ever heard of a preview?
Enough about other’s shoddy journalism, here’s some of HT’s:
- Bust Outs reviewed a few kick ass Grateful Dead covers
- Some Dude’s Better Than Noodling looked at the Sam Roberts Band
- Luke Sacks fell in love with David Bowie all over again
- The B List started our Langerado preview coverage
- We kicked off Cover Wars with Abbey Road’s Sequence
- I Love Bad Music tackled a Ronstadt/Neville classic
- And as usual we had plenty of links to dump on you in Hors d’Oeuvres, Intermezzo, Bloggy Goodness, Tour Dates and Leftovers
