Got robbed by Spliff says:
Shame on you for publishing articles about Spliffington Mgmt. who coerces young artists into giving him their money and then he prints a bogus report exactly two weeks later (like every A&R has absolutely nothing better to do than to listen to this twentysomething wigger) and then you never hear from him again. He robs people of their beats (AND MONEY) and gets them to sign bogus contracts. I cannot believe that SCRATCH magazine would give this thief any PR.

That is, until […]
