2009, A Year In Bad Music Writing: #2 Louis Pattison on indie and rap in The Guardian

 

We made a secret mandate on ILB a few months back to talk less about The Guardian: partly because a large number of their music-writing staff appear to have Google alerts set up for when a search-spider discovers a new mention of their name, and partly because there’s really only so many ways you can say “Sylvia Patterson is quantifiably a worse human being than, say, Thug Behram.” But it’s the weekend, so we can always go off-message for once.
