Once again the insipid if not megalomaniacal Margasak has made glaring, ridiculous omissions in his “Local Record Roundup” [Post No Bills, December 12]. How is it that the Chicago Reader continually ignores a robust and innovative local rock scene? Does Peter find the musical tastes of real Chicagoans too pedestrian for his highbrow column? Does it have to be aristo-avante jazz/noise to get the attention of Chicago’s premier “news and criticism” source? (We all know you’re really from Green Bay, Peter, but you got the job, so we’ll play along.) Real music apparently only comes from Winnetka, Ankara, Siberia, or just anywhere but here. And God forbid it rocks! Peter, you’re like one of those well-greased senators who pander shamelessly to the special interests while completely ignoring the majority of your constituency. Do you find our tastes so beneath your palate? It sure seems so.
