I was very disappointed in your lack of coverage on the recent break up of
Midnight Oil in your latest issue. I feel that such a prominent band as the
Oils deserved much more credit than two sentences after fourteen albums and
twenty five years of great music. Sadly enough, it seemed as though your
only effort to cover the break up was to go to the band's website and read
the same information that all of Midnight Oil's fans have already read. I
feel that if you really want to be considered a music magazine in the eyes
of your readers, there must be an effort made to cover the stories that
really count. Midnight Oil was one of the most prominent Australian bands
around. They have also made a huge impact on many people, including myself,
through their messages in and out of the musical spectrum. To let this go
ignored is entirely distasteful amongst many huge music fans.
