"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.)

@coelacanth∅ Right. That's the thing. My other "secret" record at the time was the live Bee Gees album. I didn't really like their hits from that era but the live versions (plus all of their great older songs) were fantastic. I also professed to hating Chic. Now I listen and my reaction is "What was I thinking?"

i never even heard of chic back then. i went backwards from Robert Wyatt's version of at last i am free and from then on think chic is okay! (but i didn't do the research until i joined the www, c.2011)
