"Why Glen Hansard is a poo-head"

- By Eamonn Carr (aged 12 3/4)

a scathing review like that would be more believable if the reviewer spent a little more effort in trying to hide his personal disdain for the artist.

and more time talking about the music.

I wouldn't be a fan at all and think in general the press are too admiring of Mr H, but this is ridiculously over the top.

I liked the bit where he implied that he groomed that Czech girl from a young age. Given the month that's in it he could have mentioned Polansky to drive the point home some more.

That's gas. He's in tears of rage writing that.

Speaking of journalists taking personal enmities out in their music reviews, there was a particularly strange one in Day & Night (the Indo) last week. John Meagher's review of The Coronas' album began and ended with paragraphs taking a swipe at Una UnaRocks Soundcheck. And it wasn't a long review. And I know The Coronas might not be worth writing about, but still. This reader wanted to know more about their infectious J1 pop and less about inter-journalist squabbles.
Great hatred, little room. We don't wanna fight no more.

Meaghar has been waiting a long long time to get his revenge over this ...

Ah right, yes he referred to that blog post.
Grand so. Now that I think of it, a Coronas review is a good place to write about something unrelated.
