Hell Can Wait is a debut for rapper Vince Staples, but it’s really a refinement, the end result of a years long search for the right producer. His jump to Def Jam is a case study in the enduring merit of good old-fashioned artist development.

It's their first hiphop bnm of the year, and the first half of the review is about how Vince Staples dislikes the rest of hiphop...

I feel like I'm watching a kid build a sandcastle at the same time he's kicking it down.

That new Parkay Court song is a Teenage Cool Kids cover.
But the reviewer doesn't know it I guess..

Isn't the singer of Teenage Cool Kids the singer of Parkay Farts?

The album, which, like 2011’s Tomboy, was co-produced with former Spiritualized member Pete Kember, aka Sonic Boom.

larrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyy

On September 30, Daniel Crespo, the mayor of the Los Angeles suburb of Bell Gardens, was shot and killed. It wasn’t a political assassination. His wife pulled the trigger. This event is utterly unrelated to Slow Dawns for Lost Conclusions, the second album by the dreamy, chamber-pop ensemble Bell Gardens.

you'd really think they would get the search function working well after all these years.

I like the idea that New York is all abuzz with trying to figure out just what is PC Worship's deal, so much mystery

Seems like pfork really oughta know Adam Granduciel's last name. Guess Kozelek has the last laugh here if his intention was to purposely mangle dude's name so just this sorta thing would happen. I'm anti-Koz in this thing but that's pretty good strategy. Also, unforgivable typos in this piece. And while we're at it - we're really still talking about this?

http://pitchfork.com/news/57253-mark-kozelek-adam-granofsky-blues/

Apparently, Adam Granofsky is his birth name

how could pitchfork not know that adam granduciel's real name is actually adam granduciel? they even ran an entire longform feature this year in which they talk about how his name is actually adam granofsky. how could they screw this up?

actually, this is about ethics in music journalism

just another mistake in a series of at least 10 quintillion by my count

pitchfork is the woooorrst *reads pitchfork*

From the earlier Pitchfork piece on War on Drugs:

In completing his first cassette, he labeled it “Granduciel,” a portmanteau and nickname given to him by a high school French teacher as a joke, a word-for-word translation of the English words in his real last name, Granofsky

I just realized I've had Sun Kil Moon mixed up with Smog this whole time.

(aphex twin is so deadly boring to read about. and i love andy beta!) (maybe i should read that now in the interest of fairness...)

this is a good review of an album i'm enjoying a lot right now. everyone should get this cd:

Well there was at least that small chunk of articles that you skipped between The Outdoor and Caribou.

xpost that YG record would be borderline perfect if not for "do it to ya" and "me & my bitch" - former bc it's hot trash and latter is just super meh and it being sequenced after "do it" almost irreperably fucks the momentum of the album in the gallbladder but fortunately "who do you love" is there to save the day

totally good stuff on here:

http://pitchfork.com/features/the-out-door/9521-overlooked-experimental-records-2014/

was debating buying that naked island LP on discogs just the other day. one of the dudes from starving weirdos who i love a ton.

yeah the out door is great! definitely one of my favorite things on the internet.

but maybe that belongs on the pitchfork is OK! (#34985859340293849494 in a series.) thread

i went to the chain store across the street this morning to get barrel brothers album and step brothers album and they didn't have either one cuz they are SO LAME!! lamest store on earth. total Deviant Type Titans over there in that mess. so, i did end up getting the YG on cd and i'm glad i did cuz it sounds amazing on cd and on my big-ass tandy-brand foghat speakers. and i got schoolboy q at a reduced price. but not the deluxe edition. i ain't going on no fuckin' amazon for some skyzoo. kinda one of the only minuses about living around here. maple syrup up the ass but no skyzoo in sight.

the bonus tracks on that schoolboy record aren't any good (the album itself is v enjoyable and great in places), so no loss there

yeah figured as much. and the schoolboy album is great, but i wanted to hear this on my big speakerz:
