I agree: if someone wants to do some creative writing in response to
listenning to some music, this should not be discouraged. This is basic
inspiration->action. I don't think you should dis someone's free-spirited
creativity, c'mon! People are increasingly cynical, it just becomes self-
repression, jeez, I'd rather see a cheesy Autechre-inspired poem than a
bunch of "ugh, yeh it is a cool record man, its the shit, so-n-so's lp is
no longer the shit, btw, ugh..." and nothing else. Kudos to Alex for his
creative post
then!
