Chris Williams splutters:

get lost, chris... if the guy had said "it was brilliant" you wouldn't
be saying "hold off until you hear the CD version."  your biases are
all too obvious.  what if I were to say, "i haven't even heard the 8
bit sample over a phone but i still think it's a great song just
because it's kate?"  you'd say "an eminently sensible position" and
i'd have to go puke.

what does duration of love-hounds membership have to do with anything?
you are not "more entitled" to post due to age or anything like that.
wake up and smell the anarchy, williams.

this is presumptuous arrogance, plain and simple.  i heard The Great
One's records in a very eccentric order (and, no, The Dreaming was NOT
my first KT LP) and i formed my own opinions.  i take the songs as
they come, one at a time.

>    Re the validity of my opinion, I'll not bore gaffa with my history,

well that's a relief.  but wait!  what's this?....

>suffice to say I've been a fan since seeing her on Saturday Night Live.

blah blah blah i'm a better fan than you are so nyah.  i bet it REALLY
bugs you that i was on gaffa before you were.  it's just so sickening
(and juvenile), chris.  why can't you accept the fact that there are
some people who just won't unconditionally love every song kate's ever
done?  this doesn't make us "worse" fans, whatever THAT could possibly
mean.

why do i suspect that you have a little board with all gaffans names
and little black marks for every critical comment they make about Our
Lady Of Perpetual Kateness?  why do i further suspect that you think
that's a GOOD IDEA...?

until you accept that all opinions are equally valid, i will continue
to attack you in public.  so get used to it, pink boy.

(an aside to long time l-h readers: the new album isn't even out yet
and already we've got a major imbroglio brewing... doesn't it just
warm the cockles of your heart???  *mmmm* warm and soothing, indeed.)
