I love NME and I hate NME. They've given me so much great information and fed so many infatuations... but in the recent years there's been multiple times that I've been dupped by their glowing praise... and get stuck with some $20 import cd that ends up being the UK version of Fall Out Boy. This has happened so much so I find it hard not dismissing them as a hype machine most of the time. There are still gems that make me glow a warm sunshine color... but that's rare these days. And... the fact that they still quote people in Oasis to get mean snappy quotes on the new up and coming acts is annoying. It's so 1990's of them.
