The Week That Was: Black Cr’Owned

In my brief experience writing about music, I’ve made plenty of mistakes. Just a few days ago I incorrectly referred to Dumpstaphunk’s drummer as Anthony Webber instead of the proper Raymond Webber. Shit happens, and all you can do is try to keep the errors to a minimum before you lose all credibility. But there are a few mistakes that are just totally inexcusable. Maxim’s David Peisner reviewed the Black Crowes’ Warpaint, and gave the album two and a half stars out of four. Problem is, Peisner admittedly never heard the album. The Crowes quickly called out Peisner on his biff-tastic maneuver. Maxim’s defense is that the Crowes didn’t give out advance copies of Warpaint, and they wanted to make sure they had coverage of this major release. Have these guys ever heard of a preview?

Enough about other’s shoddy journalism, here’s some of HT’s:

  1. I think the review was based on a leaked copy of t he album and they are covering their ass by saying they hadn’t heard it…

  2. I don’t know. It’s Maxim. I’ll bet they just didn’t think they’d get caught. I’ve heard that there are no leaked copies of this album. The crowes have been pretty tight with it. Good for them.

  3. Not leaked, I have access and connections better than most and know how to find anything online. This album has not been leaked.
