he doesn't mention that there are two very pretty ambient electro workouts, but then he wouldn't - he hasn't heard the album

dying @ this

T/S: that dog or the Kelly Osbourne anecdote

"if ONLY he knew there were TWO ambient electro workouts--he would NEVER HAVE WRITTEN what he did"

Maybe they should've put a sticker on the case

good thread!

“okay what is your favorite black sabbath record?” because ozzy osbourne is her father and was the lead singer of black sabbath

can't understand why people think this guy could maybe do with reigning it in a tad

Is "reigning it in a tad" slang for cutting his own hands off?

that was Tony Iommi iirc

to ask the finest writer of my generation to self-edit is perverse~

I would endorse this site if every article ended with a paragraph about how badly the interviewee beat him up

PRR weighs in on the Everything Everything review:

Cohen also writes, “…the self-absorbed musical equivalent of having 12 browsers open at the same time…” and having 12 browsers open at the same time would be like having Firefox and Chrome and Safari and Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator and Opera and 6 other browser programs open simultaneously, and i don’t even know if there are 6 other browsers so i think what he means is either 12 browser tabs or 12 browser windows open, because probably not even the most dedicated tech writer would ever have 12 browsers open simultaneously because what would even be the point of that? they have tabs now

how can you not enjoy this dude, i ask you

very fucking easily

what the world was missing was a cross between fred figglehorn and a self-deprecating ryan schreiber

that ian cohen guy, who wrote the everything everything review, also wrote a particularly smug review of the latest blonde redhead album where he all but dismisses the band's career as a product of new york chic and nothing more, and makes gross assumptions about the band's motives for releasing a quiet record.

u mad

Ian Cohen can only handle four browsers at most.

really possible that ian cohen is not all that as a reviewer, and this everything everything band is not very good either.

the first few lines of that BR review didn't look too persuasive to me either, but i haven't heard the record, so

wahts pitchfork

they're kinda mediocre compared to DNA - whose song title they appropriated for their band name - but they're not awful, and i have no problem with other people liking them, even though their career is kinda a product of NY chic

i'm happy to concede that as one possible outlook, but really BH have been around for many years now and have done a lot of things with their sound. seems each time you read about them somebody's having a go at their roots, which by now have more than been transcended.

geddit

roots -- like hair

i'm dying - geddit?

shd have just said 'dying' but you had to be all blatant about it

thank you joke-policeman jagger

it's how i'm conditioned

so would your next ban be ... permanent?

it'd certainly be a sb and sides

don't mull it over too much though

well before you go, LJ, I'd like to tell you that I kinda liked that EE song Final Form...the NASA song though is way too Coldplay-ish for me...

glad you could tidy that one up

you're welcome

it's the parting shot this thread needed

GOD u guys this is the prr thread

^^^last of the mohicans

what if James Fenimore Cooper wrote for Pitchfork?

He'd review Deerslayer -- whoops, Deerhunter.

what if renowned ex-soccer player David Platt wrote about the band Ponytail for Pitchfork, praising its Afrobeat influences?
