The arrogance thing - I think it's fine being a cunt if you're, say, Ornette Coleman or someone. I get the strong impression Mattin has a reputation built on rhetoric rather than actual chops. I'm also aware that noise [etc] is built upon a kind of anti-chopology, but there's a good reason why every town has loads of noise artists but only the odd one surfaces internationally.
Actually, now I think about it, his actual music is just insignificant - his writing is the kind of naif-Marxist, manifestoish shite that entirely undermines any incursions he may have inadvertantly made into 'the point'.
