Also, here's the near 10 minute rant Conrad did a few days ago; "I Hate How We Talk About Collaborative Projects; Particularly when they are attributed to one person",
I'm listening to this rant and while it's retarded and pretentious I don't think it's more so than his old Whirling Dervish podcasts. Like congratulations Digi, you're describing in the most obnoxious way possible the process by which pop music is manufactured and that reviewers operate with incomplete information when analysing the context behind the creation of works of art.
