CALLING FOR THE FUGAZI OF ROCK CRIT: A bunch of griping about the state of rock criticism here. An idea/response: A magazine or website called NO MIDDLEMAN, wherein the editor(s) and staff refuse to deal with label execs and managers, refuse to accept ANY free product or tickets, and go straight to the artists themselves. All reviews are signed and thoughtful, and ample space is provided for contrarian viewpoints. Doesn't sound so revolutionary, does it?
