Meticulously precise? How precise do you have to be to sustain feedback for however many minutes it is in Tokio......? However that's not the point.

What started off as a bit of a joke in the Black Box has gotten a little out of hand and I accept a lot of the responsibility for that.

To set the record straight. As it happens I'm against pulling tracks from the playlist just because someone out there doesn't like a particular band. As Spaz says someone other than he is RQing them and that must indicate that they want to hear them so that's a good enough reason to keep them available.

The reason I don't like the Dons is "MAYBE" because I haven't heard enough of the tracks to form a proper opinion. The ones that do get played a lot such as the ones that have been quoted above, just don't hit the spot. Neither does "The peter criss jazz" in which I can find nothing to recommend it. That is a classic example of the noise for noise sake ethic I was alluding to with the random notes comment. You may say that it is beautifully structured, cleverly put together, complex or any other description but that doesn't get away from the fact that I personally don't like what I hear and in a public forum such as this I feel entitled to say so.

Your comment about human nature is correct too Spaz. It has always been easier to destroy than create. That IS human nature and you will never change that. What you can do is state your case and continue to argue your point of view until agreement is reached or until you just end up agreeing to disagree. That is where we are here I think. Nothing wrong with that.

So to summarise.

1) Don't pull the tracks.
2) I don't like Don Cab......maybe never will.
3) We will just have to agree to disagree on this one. And.......
4) In future when they come on I'll just switch the ears off and concentrate on something else rather than make smart arse comments in Black.
