pitchfork is dumb (#34985859340293849494 in a series.)

ha, no problem, i would probably be salty if i hadn't written it, heh heh.

It will only be a matter of time till Pitchfork discovers that its old pre-2000 reviews that it took down can be found on archive.org too.

Shit, cat...

For a while, during the AC's imperial phase in the mid to late aughts, this review was scrubbed. Dunno how long it's been back up.

3.9

in the end this is all the matters

"all *that* matters," jfc i really am dumb

Crosby is great on twitter. Engages every troll. it's awesome

he's worn everyone down!

to their credit it's a negative review (5.0) but LOL at this music existing/getting press at all

South London musician Benjy Keating is signed to the acclaimed independent dancehall label Mixpak, where he makes a strange and subdued DIY bedroom-pop version of dancehall.

Benjy Keating started making music in a South London bedroom, spurred on by his roommate Dominik Dvorak (aka PC Music affiliated producer Felicita). At first he was making what he admitted to be “Burial rip-offs” but then, after hearing dancehall beats blare out of car windows, he drifted into a new style. The first taste of this came with a song called “Catch,” made in conjunction with SOPHIE. The song boasted a cool minimalism grafted onto the whisper of polyrhythmic Caribbean sounds. On top of it was Keating’s voice: British, introverted, mumbly, a painfully shy-sounding white kid singing in a sort of patois.

bonny bear

it's awesome how badly this joke dates a person

I went looking for that "10 concerts from archive.org" on pitchfork (that i'd previously linked to from this thread) and i have literally no idea where it might be or what to search for to find it. i view this as a flaw of the new design.

You have to find the "10 concerts from archive.org" section. First, make sure to use a phone! Second, scroll down for five minutes.

(It's filed under the Pitch.)

They have a search box.

Fwiw, I just searched (on my phone!) for "archive" and "archive.org" and didn't get it as a result.

Probably because "archive" isn't in the title of that article and is in a million others

http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/1194-10-great-old-concerts-you-can-legally-stream-in-high-quality/

Ah. I should have searched for http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/1194-10-great-old-concerts-you-can-legally-stream-in-high-quality/ .

or "concerts"

i believe the kids these days find articles via "hashtags" and "emojis"

lots of kids today searching for articles about old concerts

#old #stevereich #basho

i figured it was under the pitch section, but the pitch section is nowhere to be found on the page. if you cmd+f "the pitch", the only hit is the link at the bottom of the page for the pitchfork review.

the pitch seems to be a subsection of the latest so it's two pages away when i feel like it used to be a main front page thing. no wonder i couldn't find it.

also i searched for "archive" and "archive.org" initially figuring it would search the body text. also search "elliott smith" seeing as i knew that was one of the concerts highlighted, so figured it would probably be tagged. is their search shit then too?

Actually "elliott smith" is an artist in this story but not a tag, which are only "bootleg" and "Invisible Hits", I guess that's a further subcategory within The Pitch within The Latest within Pitchfork. Obviously.

I think Pitchfork is probably churning out too much and too varied formats to be very well organised yet, and probably are way less concerned with their archive than their front page. A pity though.

Everything is driven by social media these days, so their lack of "organization" is, in fact, a good organizing principle for having a successful, well-trafficked website

whiney o.t.m. weingarten

I'm not sure I get what you mean?

Either way, I think I should probably have said "well archived" rather than "well organized".

i still dunno why lucas dipasquale isnt signed to ovo. actually too real i guess

If I'm on a site that has a search function I don't expect to have to use google to find something on said site, no.

I would say that searching for something on a specific site using google works better than using a site's search function approximately 99% of the time

it's true

for instance site:ilxor.com pitchfork

this is basic digital literacy, or should be

That's dumb. The workaround should never be the solution.

as CCR taught us: keep on googlin'

yeah site: is an ill way of searching for stuff on the internet 2 thumbs up

That's dumb. The workaround should never be the solution.

Yes, they should. You can add a google search box to a website. There is no reason to have a crappy search function.

Bad search is v retro and #vaporwave digging the aesthetics

They've got videos set on autoplay, and since the news loads in a constant stream, as you scroll down the news page, it starts every single video until they're all playing on top of each other. very "altered zones"

i think those are bet's embed settings but idk

I think you're right.
