A Picasso Or A Garfunkle
Apparently, Art Garfunkel is so far removed from the spotlight these days, that MSNBC misspells his name:
Solo careers separate the wheat from the chaff. For example, what happened to Garfunkle or the members of the Police who weren’t Sting? Then there’s Andrew Ridgeley. You know, Andrew Ridgeley! The other guy from Wham. George Michael sure left him high and dry.Getting busted for pot all the time just doesn't make fame like it used to. Maybe a stint in a Japanese jail would help Artie step away from his Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine.

Note to stereogum: Quality, not quantity.
And to everyone else, never, ever try to read a Pitchfork review when you have a headache. In just the first paragraph of the review for the new Ryan Adams record, we get the following words and phrases: "poseur", "authenticity chic", "surfeit", "poseurdom", "precursor", "brazenly derivative artifice", "paucity" and "gilded genre exercise-cages". All I wanna know is "Does it rock?"

fuck MSNBC and their lack of proper music-writing. Art Garfunkel, Stu Copeland, and Andy Summers have all been active for years, albeit under the radar, since the breakups of their more popular projects. i hate it when people decide that a band is really only one person backed up by some other random dudes, because the whole is always greater than any individual part, let alone the sum of all of its parts. The Police wouldn't have been as good as they were without Copeland and Summers. While Paul Simon is a ridiculously talented man, there's something transcendent about the Simon and Garfunkel stuff; it goes to a place which even Simon's best solo material cannot reach.
re: Pitchfork, it's impossible not to be subjective when writing about something you love, and i understand that. but Pitchfork's reviewers are all about "me me me this album / band / song has to conform to MY expectations of it or it automatically SUCKS and no one should buy it." that's too much and it defeats the purpose of music criticism.

Poor Andrew Ridgely. My friend Jared loves the man, and even has a zine dedicated to him. More info here: http://www.medioxcore.net/gmr/wham/
