Bruce Sterling apparently has a thing for Simon Reynolds. He's gushing about Simon's latest article. I do like his comment though. "No one has new cultural ideas in this decade. They cost too much."

The post-modern problem of the inability to break out of influences and create something new is a problem for us consumers and critics as much as for the artists. We seem unable to relate to new pieces of art without saying "that's just like that thing X did 10 years ago."

Meanwhile, why doesn't Wired's comments system work?
