Comments on: Rivers Cuomo: ‘Alone - The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo’ http://www.zmemusic.com/rock/alternative/rivers-cuomo-alone-the-home-recordings-of-rivers-cuomo/ ZME Music blog: news, reviews and features Sun, 06 Jul 2008 01:13:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Tibi Puiu http://www.zmemusic.com/rock/alternative/rivers-cuomo-alone-the-home-recordings-of-rivers-cuomo/#comment-1824 Tibi Puiu Wed, 26 Dec 2007 21:44:58 +0000 http://www.zmemusic.com/reviews/rivers-cuomo-alone-the-home-recordings-of-rivers-cuomo/#comment-1824 I was reading the PopMatters review while doing my own article, to see how other publications rated the record. The respective paragraph was something that caught my eye and, at the time, I thought it should be included. I wouldn't go to such lengths to call the whole review a plagiarism, just because of a paragraph that just lists, all in all, some facts. I don't know if you understand what I'm saying, but I apologize, nonetheless, for any inconvenience this post might have caused to you or to the fine people down at PopMatters. -Tibi, Editor.

"Though it features a seemingly-intimidating 18 tracks, the whole affair clocks in at 46 minutes, largely due to short songs (a wiry and somewhat inexplicable cover of Ice Cube’s “The Bomb") and interludes (the totally-pointless dialogue snippet “I Wish I Had an Axe Guitar” and the vocals-only experiment “Ooh"). Don't steal other people's writing, dude. It isn't cool. Good job on plagiarizing PopMatters. “Though
