Stephen Troussé needs your pity

This is why you should never read Pitchfork – only look to see what albums are out. Maybe – maybe look at the score. But never ever read the review (unless it’s by Joe Tangari).

From the Gorillaz – D Sides review

2007 ends with rumours of a full Blur reunion scotched once more, and reports of a full-length Gorillaz movie in production. You wonder if Albarn is spurred to all this solo and side-project activity by the refusal of Graham Coxon to rejoin the fold, the failure of his original band to properly regroup. If so, ideally the reunion will be infinitely postponed, giving us several more projects with the wit and daffy ingenuity of Gorillaz rather than the prospect of one more conventional careerist rock record.

Why would anyone write that – that they would rather Blur not reunite. The World needs Blur. Stephen Troussé obviously wanted to get a response out of people or he’s an idiot. I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt and say that he wanted to get a response out of people. But insulting Blur is not the way to do it. It just proves that you’re desperate.

Stephen Troussé is a twat.
