WHERE THE ART IS Re: Dead boring (469) Thomas Dehanney rust rsn‘t payrrrg attentron. Far from berng overwrrtten, rn rts frnest morrrents The Sopranos abandons dralogue and tradrtronal narratrve all together. settlrng rnto an expressrve dr'earrr-lrke world where the prrrrrary r:orrrmunreatron rs vrsual. The Sopranos rs truly a great work of art. the Irkes of whreh our TVs haven't seen srnee the passrng of Derrnrs Potter.
As for er Feet Under. I agree us a brt overrated. but surely rt slaps the pants off anythrng Brrtrsh TV has to offer. Where, I wonder. rs ‘the rr(:h. entranCrng work Brrtrsh televrsron rs throwrng up at the moment"? Could Mr Dehanney be referrrng to Heartbeat? Ho/by Crtv’? r‘vfonarcb of the Glen?
Whrle rt's true that Brrtrsh TV may be thr‘owrng up. hrs argument would cast these shows as srek. whereas I've seen them. and they are, rn fact. shrte.

Mark Robertson has hrs cake and eats rt rn hrs revrew of the SHOP ROCK new Radrohead album, He Re: Deftones (468) says they're overrated Yes. I'm uvrth hrm there. "They're not as good as everyone says.‘ No experrenees I have eyer' had, problems wrth that. And later he calls them 'whrny' and 'overly serrous' and wrrtes about therr 'lack of humOur' ~ yes. spot on.
So what's vvrth all thrs nonsense about 'magre' and 'genrus"? Genrus surely rrreans havrng the wrt and sensrtrvrty to hrt more than one enrotronal note. If alrenated rs your thrng. look at the Smrths: Morrrssey managed to capture both the desparr and the rrdrculousness of rt.
