"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

"Directly behind" is a BS phrase, am I right? It doesn't actually mean anything. "Right behind" or "immediately behind" would be more apt.
Avatar 9:44am
crateslinger:

could it be "haywire"?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:44am
steveo:

it's on a track right, so definitely directly behind

Avatar 9:46am

But what does "directly" mean in this case? The suggestion is that it's not far behind, but since it is on a track, directly could mean it's an hour behind, couldn't it?

My point is it's ambiguous, which is maybe why that phrase is usually used by the MTA.
