Gigbeth blog rumblings

Over on the Gigbeth blog they've took a rather harsh line on what I considered to be a quick witisism by Midge Diabolik. He made a quick quip about D:Ream – they got a bit defensive. When you're programming a deliberately diverse music event it's obvious that not everybody will like everything that's on – and catty remarks about bands you find distasteful is probably the mainstay of the British music press.
