In fact quite possibly the biggest arsehole I've ever had the displeasure to meet was one of Scotland's best known music journalists.
Haha, I am sure you mean Billy Sloan, who is a totally stereotypical music journalist stuck in the same flight pattern since the 90s. Any unsigned act, say a new indy band are heralded as a breath of fresh air and will be praised for about a year...until they are well and truly part of the system with their second album and no longer as cool as the next new thing.
