pitchfork is dumb (#34985859340293849494 in a series.)

i'm not trying to be snide, i'm just curious
is the presumption that the pitchfork name means it deserves scrutiny/ridicule?

Adam Bruneau otm

how are there 20+ posts on this

how is anybody surprised that ilm is discussing this

I was gonna come on here earlier to make fun of their constant mining of every little thing that happens between Drake vs. Jay-Z for front page news but forgot to.

the thread title is pitchfork is dumb (#34985859340293849494 in a series.) and was started 12 years ago

Last week one of the headline news stories was "Drake uses lint roller on his pants at basketball game".

ISn't this just what Red Bull have been doing for a while now? Only with booze and a Pitchfork imprimatur?

Except the Red Bull shows are cheap.

it's almost like Jim Beam came to them and said "we have X amount of dollars what could we do" and then they came up with this idea and now people in New York can see a Majical Cloudz show

this is a hilarious story, what is wrong with you people

heaven forbid a music news section tries to have fun

what ever will happen to serious news stories such as "here is another arcade fire song"

people gotta know if arcade fire suddenly covers king crimson or Louis Jordan

Yeah i'm tired of the "Arcade Fire Covers ______" too. Basically i would just eliminate their entire news section.

besides drake and arcade fire is st. vincent the most ubiquitous person on the site? feels like it to me.

They should go back to when they were covering indie music

i'm starting a series of superb shows that will happen at supper. so grab a slice of papa john's and check out Supperb this summer.

I guess it's somewhat like "An Evening with Led Zeppelin" or whatever.

^^ significant lol (xpost)

this was the best news story i'd seen in forever! though i love hoops scooped them

That Deerhunter shit thing is really an ultimate trump card. Can't argue w that.

sometimes i think drake couldn't be more drake than he already is, but then he does something like lint rolls his pants courtside at a basketball game! can you even appreciate that? that a human being could actually think to bring a lint roller to a sports event? and then use it courtside?

he's the G.O.A.T. at being drake

I don't understand, is his car filled with cats or something?

"Girl let me get all up on them pants... LINT ROLLER"

The lint roller story got me to check pitchfork for the first time in about ten years

I was hoping that all five of today's reviews would use the word "workmanlike", but it turned out to be only Guided By Voices and the Black Keys.

but the Black Keys review did use "farty synths"!

that black keys review was terrible, i'm getting super tired of all the cloying attempted witticisms and constant linking to extraneous or tangential internet phenomena.

yeah, i'm no Black Keys stan by any means, but that was terrible.

Heh. Yup. Other farty entries on Pitchfork include:

*Her voice-- passive, girlish-- sounds lost against the farty and broken-down guitars
*Its rollercoaster companion, "Yoshimi (Part 2)," scales a slinky, ascending wall of farty synth and distant Japanese babble before the bottom
*The pressure here builds and builds, but rather than taking flight, tracks like "De Javu" struggle with a misdirected explosion of percussion that flattens out into a farty bass riff smothered in layers of percussion.

AND a GbV review from two years ago!

*The farty flute kickoff to "Doughnut for a Snowman" nods to those sputtering constructions of old, but it feels a bit perfunctory, a sound effect where a fleck of dumbass brilliance like Alien Lanes' "Hit" might've otherwise gone.

all five of today's reviews would use the word "workmanlike"

bands are lazy, I respect labor tbh

*Many of her tracks sound similar to one another: A 505 Groovebox queefs out splatty, farty beats and M.I.A. shouts lyrics of varying snark over them, sometimes even singing them.

A 505 Groovebox queefs out splatty, farty beats

lmfartyao

I mistakenly ready that as: "A 505 Groovebox queefs out splatty, farty beefs"

I didn't think that sentence could get worse.

pitchfork coppin GOW*'s style

*Good Ol Waterface

queefs out splatty, farty beefs queefs out splatty, farty beefs queefs out splatty, farty beefs queefs out splatty, farty beefs queefs out splatty, farty beefs queefs out splatty, farty beefs queefs out splatty, farty beefs queefs out splatty, farty beefs queefs out splatty, farty beefs

wait someone wrote "queefs out splatty, farty beats" in a record review on p4k? is that true??

all i wanna do is *QUEEF QUEEF QUEEF QUEEF*

and *splat* *fart*

and take your money

^ a new challenger enters the arena

omg stop

Morrissey's "World Peace Is None of Your Business" Single Art Is Amazing

Exactly what is amazing about this?

seems to be going for some sort of early 70s Britisher Mandrax hard rock vibe which while I wouldn't call it "amazing" is a little surprising

hate this style of headline too, which we can probably blame buzzfeed or huffpo for.
