pitchfork is dumb (#34985859340293849494 in a series.)

no prob B-)

A day in the life of deej.

lollin @ some dude's post

so I got all excited about a Tiga Remix of "Dance Yrself Clean" only to find no track below the description. Plus the Prefix link is to a Tiga remix of "I Can Change." what gives?

"Dance Yrself Clean", the opening track from LCD Soundsystem's dazzling BNM'd third effort This Is Happening, starts quiet and erupts into a four-alarm floor-filler. For this remix, Montreal-based producer Tiga skips the quiet stuff and gets down to business-- and business is a bangin' jam.

Did Larry Fitzmaurice hear this bangin' jam before writing about it?

sweet MIA Flash ad floating in the bottom lefthand corner of the screen on the Prefix site

The MIA flash ad prevented me from listening to this song four times.

But it is a "Dance Yrself Clean" remix.

mike simonetti linked pfork from his twitter today and i clicked on it only to see a big fat typo (transposition) in the one paragraph blurb. journalism 3.0 r0x

Yeah, it is "Dance Yrself Clean". Looks like it's been fixed all round now, apart from the Soundcloud page, which has it as "I Can't Change". On the scale of Pitchfork dumbness, this is pretty low. About a 2.3 I'd say.

If you ask me, 2.3 also sounds about right for an accurate rating of the new LCD Soundsystem album.

sadly, no one did actually ask you ;_;

lcd sound PISSED-ON am i right?

Ha, I was uninterested to hear a remix of "I Can Change" that I didn't actually listen to the mislabeled track. Weird they didn't post the track itself though, just a "via prefix" link

I was SO uninterested, rather

sadly, no one did actually ask you ;_;

Was totally anticipating this -- thanks for grabbing the low-hanging fruit!

no need to bring your balls into this

Do your balls hang low
Do it wobble to the flo'
Do it shine in the light
Is it platinum, Is it gold
Could you throw it over ya shoulda
If ya hot, it make ya cold
Do your balls hang low

Apropos of nothing, is "Larry Fitzmaurice" the dude's real name? Sounds like an early '80s electro DJ.

it's almost as delicious as "Harry Reasoner"

its a p awesome name i think

So I liked today's Arab Strap reissue review (x2):

But, as usual, the originals have been taken off the site.

-and-

Looks like the first album got a ratings boost, while the second suffered a bit.

so glad you have done your due dillingence and uncovered these important relics of internet past

The Weezer fascination/obsession continues...

5-10-15-20: Titus Andronicus' Patrick Stickles

"Weezer were the rock on which me and all of my buddies built our church."

zzzzzzzzzz

Your single-minded focus on Weezer lately is bordering on the absurd.

a combination of absurd and zzzzzz

Your single-minded focus on Weezer lately is bordering on the absurd.

I assume that by "single-minded focus on Weezer," you mean that I posted in one other Weezer thread earlier this week?

Okay then!

The Weezer fascination/obsession continues

this has pretty much been the last 20 years of indie rock... BETTER POST ABOUT IT

I assume that by "single-minded focus on Weezer," you mean that I posted in one other Weezer thread earlier this week?

Okay then!

Dude, you were all over the Weezer threads last week.

Which would be fine, except for the part where you constantly have to remind us that you hate them.

http://web.archive.org/web/20010117063400/http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/index/contest.gif

yeah what a notable event, a 20-something indie rock musician professing a love for weezer

what the hell does this have to do with pitchfork anyway aside from the fact that they ran the interview

i want the old markers back

Some of you already mentioned Coldplay, but surprisingly no one said anything about "Viva la Vida," unless you count Geir's "Every single Coldplay song" vote.

I can't think of many, if any, mainstream rock songs from the past decade that were as well produced as that one.
