Loved this bit from the Skot blog post:
I love that the Prurient dude is called “unfathomably prolific” in the Pitchfork blurb! Like you couldn't possibly fathom how prolific this guy is. Welcome to noiseland. Where prolific artists are very very fathomable. The norm, really. There are dudes that make Prurient look like a three-toed sloth. Noise people are like sci-fi writers. If they are awake they can probably make a tape/art/start a zine/start a label/play in 20 different side-projects. They are really BUSY for people who often move slowly and don't always have steady employment. If we could harness the inner nervous energy of America's noise musicians, I think we could reach Mars in a matter of days.

Haha that Skot thing is ridiculously quotable!
The album’s okay. File it next to the first Elastica album that you sold years ago.

4AD was one of the greatest independent record labels of the 1980's.

We really do need a poll of best Skot lines in this thing.
This single should come with a car. In order to buy this single, you must drive it away from the showroom.
Wait, did he say that the demons want his dome? In any case, A$AP Scott approves.
This has been the best morning. Thank you, Skot!

My 8-year-old son might like this one. He’s been listening to a lot of Deadmau5 and he’s eight so he’s very familiar with alternate spellings. This just makes me feel like Mount Rushmore.

87. The National - “Pink Rabbits” (4AD) The link on Pitchfork is to a song by The National called “Sea Of Love” so I'll just listen to that.... We may never know what “Pink Rabbits” sounds like but if “Sea Of Love” is any indication, we will never know what “Pink Rabbits” sounds like.

And theoretically I like the IDEA of genre-smashing superheroes like M.I.A. And Santigold, but for some reason I hear their stuff and when it's done it's gone. Right out of my head. Like a bird. Like a bird that knows Diplo.

You certainly helped articulate my feelings towards mbv in a way that I never quite could: I am definitely a fan of the old stuff. When the new album came out, I was happy for even bigger fans in the way that you are happy for a relative who gets a promotion or a friend who posts pictures on Facebook of them finishing some sort of charity road race. Good for you!

“I Love My Dad” finds Kozelek possibly outing himself as a recovering alcoholic (“I’ll have an O’Doul’s and my friend here will have a Guinness”) and a victim of child abuse, but it's otherwise quotably hilarious, detailing a relationship with his father where valuable life lessons are imparted through both Iron Mike-style beatdowns and Edgar Winter records.
If this wasn't glib enough, there's also a YouTube link to the Tyson/Spain fight underneath "Iron Mike-style beatdowns" in case you felt like investigating Kozelek's abuse metaphor further.

This June, Pitchfork is launching Nightcap, a series of late night shows across the United States.
It starts at 10 PM. Get it? It's a show, but it starts kinda late!! Isn't that really interesting??
