that twitter article is the worst, what's up online journalism lol is it parody? http://pitchfork.com/news/56393-grizzly-bears-ed-droste-and-baths-live-tweet-the-little-mermaid-highlights/
but then again I never got why they post daily updates on what bands perform live on what talkshows/festivals - they might consider dedicating a site to that instead of flooding the newsfeed

goon tie I'm interested to hear about Pitchfork as a site that used to provide queer artists some agency - it's always seemed pretty straight indie boy to me, even after it became straight indie boy who also likes pop and rap

I've been trying to frame my observations reasonably and articulately but it's impossible for me to extract my own feeling of non-agency from anything I type.

I know how the free content business model "works" and how clicks are real important, but "news" like these still annoy me, especially the clickbait framing

“Everybody say it’s so easy to make my beats,” Mustard Tweeted a few days ago. “[ Well ] take a swing at it you should be rich [ in ] no time cause I am.” The tweet was punctuated by two emojis that are crying while laughing.

i actually put those corrections in there in my original draft because it's clear reading that tweet that the misspellings were just dumb phone typos, and i think they made the intent of the tweet a bit harder to parse

Me either. This happens a lot here to me. Maybe I'm dull, but often times I wait till more people chime so I can gather clues about what makes some excerpt or lyric bad or good in any given thread.

I have a $10 wager going with a friend: I say the new Interpol will score a 5.9 or lower, he says 7.0 or higher.

- some kind of musing about "in the years since interpol formed they've been" and so on- last two albums have been kinda whatever- new album shows them coming back with renewed confidence, maybe some line about settling into their role as relative old pros in the indie rock world- 7.4

Why are they attaching the "Windowlicker" to literally every single news story about the new Aphex Twin album?

OK not literally, all but two (the blimp story has "Come to Daddy" and the interview excerpts has no video) but:

they've been doing that for awhile, must be an editorial requirement to have a video on every post, so it's "and here's the youtube video with the most hits from this person, which is otherwise unrelated."

opening a review with a 5.9 and then indulging in 5 paragraphs of COME LET ME TELL YOU A TALE OF A BAND THAT PEAKED A DECADE AGO before reaffirming the album's negligible status as their fourth-best out of five...and then starting your review.

I should have known there'd be a 9/11 mention in there. the ripple effect al qaeda had is still creating waves that lap at the shores of indie rock even today.
