scott pgwp commented on What I Learned From Stereogum, at 1:45 PM on Jun 6 Worth noting, I think, that while Stosuy's post took Mike's post out of context and had one or two lines of anti-intellectual snark (yet making a Borges reference so obscure it actually out-intelletualized the intellectual clip it was mocking!), it was the commenters who took it to the extreme of anti-intellectualism.

scott pgwp commented on Questions, Questions, at 5:35 PM on May 8 I for one think that if we all--by whom I mean bloggers, fans, and chatterers--stopped worrying about business models and "breaking" artists and the state of "the indie scene", well then we wouldn't have the impression that anyone's head is up their ass nor would we be thinking of the music we love in terms of success and failure, hype and backlash.
