| South by South West according to Paul Ford |
Mar 14, 2008 at 12:17 |
A man named Paul Ford has made me want to give up writing. Because I will never, ever, be as funny as him. A writer for The Morning News, Ford has written reviews for every one of 736 mp3s from bands hoping to make it big through the South by Southwest music festival (which has just begun in Austin, Texas).
Big deal? Just another schmuck reviewing music? Each review is just six words long, most are hysterical, and many are hysterically mean. Some of my favourites include "Acceptable. If they dress as wizards", "That guy singing back-up? Kill him", "Girls with herpes love this song", "They took on song-writing, and lost" and "Treacle. I want to stab dolphins".
Check some out in the attached gallery.
They're ice cold. And fucking hilarious.
