Pitchfork Reviews Reviews

so how was this even a thing? it's just a 4-page blog with some random entries

if you resemble the average media company employee but are touch more self-revealing and self-promoting, media company employees may use you to discuss themselves by proxy. see lena dunham, emily gould, the GOP hipster, etc

prediction: this thread will soon get a really interesting revive

it's right around the corner I think

fyi: i reviewed a pitchfork review for the pitchfork review. which is a magazine. it was fun!

you should write a book about it

what happened to buzza?

so which of the people on that book cover is Dexter going to kill?

I lose focus on the tour and accidentally start to wonder whether I've made it through twenty-one years of life without ever having formed a genuine connection with another person, and if conversation is so difficult for everyone, and if there might be a medication I could take, that would actually work, that would make it easier to interact with people.

when I read this dude's writing, I hear it in Nathan Fielder's voice

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home

yooooo http://gawker.com/tavi-gevinson-is-dating-the-pitchfork-reviews-reviews-1636509172

I found something out about this guy that I can't share on the internet but made me go :-|

what is it

he's actually human?

things that make you go :-|

Michael Cera is going to be a very strange looking middle aged man

on the one hand, I'm not sure I needed to know this and feel gross for clicking, on the other, D:

noooooo tavi

Ah, I was just wondering the other day if we would get a Kurt & Courtney for the 2010s. Bingo!

i really want that Over The Edge shirt she is wearing. or at least one that would fit me. my favorite movie!

dayo PM me your intel I won't share it except with lagoon

I didn't know he had a novel out. From the Amazon blurb:

David is a freshly minted NYU grad who’s working a not-quite-entry-level job, falling in love, and telling his parents he’s studying for the LSAT. He starts a Tumblr blog, typing out posts on his BlackBerry under his desk—a blog that becomes wildly popular and brings him to the attention of major media (The New York Times) as well as the White House. But his outward fame doesn’t quell his confusion about the world and his direction in it.

This semiautobiographical debut…

Semi

haha. c'mon i want to go :-| too.

noooooo tavi

Loool at all this

sorry but 26-18 is suspect.gif

I don't know if she'd remember me because she meets thousands of people, and I don't want her to not remember me, but I don't want to introduce myself as if we've never met before because then she might think I am doing that thing where you knowingly introduce yourself to someone you've already met and pretend you don't remember them to show them that they're not important to you and consequently you are cooler than they are. But Tavi was really friendly at Pitchfork, and also, she is 15.

she is so totally nobody's fool though. probably more of an adult than most adults i know. i dunno about the blog guy at all.

hes definitely falling upward

still creepy though

anyone read his book?

lol i never ever bought the faux-naïve shtick but kid must have a laser focus on his networking and social climbing

I read a few pages of the book online and it was all about going to readings and telling people he writes a blog and being intimidated by people who write for Slate and how people make eye contact with him and smoke cigarettes near him.

this is weird to me because i would read PRR in college when dude was my age. i was also aware of tavi at that time, who was described to me as a child prodigy.

i read his book, its not bad, hes tao lin but hanging out w/ more boring ppl if that's possible. it's obv a quick read and is relatable. the best part is like 3 pages long where he recounts applying for a job w/ an investment bank (only b/c he finds a woman who works there's cell phone in a cab), doesn't hear back for two and a half weeks, emails and tells her off and sez her company + their business ruined the economy, etc, and she responds showing him an email to HR that they were abt to hire him. it is the anecdote of a generation, and well told regardless of if it even happened

dating tavi would prob be v good for him like emotionally & socially cuz she seems well-adjusted and really healthy in those respects

Yeah that doesn't sound made up at all xp

such an upworthy anecdote!

i wish i finished the novel i started when i was 22 about an aimless post-graduate. it was similar to this book in its self-involvement but involved a hallucinogenic crucifixion scene too.

treesh do u think this shapiro person might be a sexual degenerate and future chemical castratee

getting an email from an i-banker you don't even want to work for who is nevertheless eager to hire you is not the anecdote of a generation, it is the anecdote of someone with incredible luck

i remember that cab/cellphone anecdote from his blog

Was happy for Tavi when I heard this like "cool she's got a bf", didn't realize that certain young New Yorkers were considered more hateable than others

oh believe me there's this whole thing

to me you're an entire city of Tao Lins and I luv you regardless

I've avoided reading Tao Lin because people kept noting that the PRR guy was ripping him off

Lol brad

I like Philip Sherburne's stuff and I guess you could review the Jeff Bridges 'Sleeping Tapes', but isn't this also an advertisement for Squarespace produced by Wieden+Kennedy?
