i just remembered Waltermalling.
When I saw the crap/not crap for the band Failure, some part of me wanted to write "I've never heard them but it's a pretty negative and unpleasant name" and realised i was channeling his spirit.
I think he once said something about the band "Low" and wasn't sure how they ever expected to sell records with such a depressing name.
Looking back, he was quite similar to Neil Hamburger.

FM runjoerun’s gloriously angry responses to FM Dave’s mild comments on Godard’s ‘week-end’ escalated to “sister-fucker” level, or something close, before ending in a very English transatlantic shaking of hands:
“I am sorry I called you a sister-fucker.”
God, i remember this.
This forum around 2006 was something else. It was alive. i don't think anything will ever engage, entertain or make me laugh the same way. I have mourning for it.
Now there is reddit.
