Wait, the Kelly Osbourne bit was quoted already but not this:
courtney love looks at me like she’s a bull about to charge me and goes “YOU WRITE FOR PITCHFORK?!” and before she maybe would have started throwing punches, i quickly clarify, “no i write a blog ABOUT pitchfork and other stuff” which doesn’t seem to pacify her that much because she says “WHY would you write a blog about pitchfork? WHY?”

If Courtney Love ever tells me I'm being obsessive and unhinged on the internet I like to think I'll take that as some sort of sign

I feel like its part Klosterman faux-naive shtick--but then I also work with a guy who talks kind of like this, in long inexact metaphors that make you uncomfortable and angry. Like this one:
i am thinking about how when someone moves away from somewhere they change the place that they moved away from for everyone else who still lives there but they don’t realize it, like if someone delivers you a pizza they are not thinking about you after they drop the pizza off, they are just thinking about the next pizza and the next place to go.

jesus, that fashion party post is something.
longer blog title:
"it doesn’t really have to do with pitchfork but i started out writing extensively about pitchfork like every day and it was just boring after a while, like there’s only so many ways to examine pitchfork you know? it stopped being as fun to write and probably was annoying to read. and i just like writing about parties in new york"

for a long time i didn’t wanna tell anyone how much belle and sebastian i listen to because they are a band so firmly entrenched in the indie music starter kit that if you are not over them by 10th grade than that makes you a music n00bbut i am not over them or above listening to Belle and Sebastian, or the Shins or any other band in the indie starter kit, and i guess anyone who tells you they are or thinks they are too good for any art has maybe lost the ability to discern what is important in art and what is just politics, and not that i am not thinking about politics too but i am trying to force myself to think about politics less and i wish i hadn’t spent so much time thinking that listening to popular indie bands like The Shins or Belle and Sebastian and being a cool guy were mutually exclusive tendencies. you might not listen to Belle and Sebastian for a non-political reason but that’s why i didn’t listen to them for like 4 years, i am a fool

I mean, I don't listen to Belle & Sebastian either, but it's not because of indie politics or any sort of cool factor or avoidance of "indie music starter kit" bands... it's because Belle & Sebastian make unlistenable, horrid, awful, shitty music.
Btw "indie music starter kit" is totally a 9.0 Best New Phrase.

Also, this is fucking hilarious:
it sullies an otherwise palatable review in which fitzmaurice capably dismantles the new El Guincho recordexcept where he writes “[El Guincho’s first record’s] formula seemed as if it would benefit from further refinery” because a refinery is an industrial plant where crude substances get purified. “refinement” is the word he’s looking for here

If this had been 20 years ago and Pitchfork had been around then, Courtney would have been on her knees in the bathroom blowing this kid if he'd said "yes" to the “YOU WRITE FOR PITCHFORK?!” question.

now i am thinking about when ezra sings, “you can turn your back on the bitter world!!!” and also when kurt cobain sings, “i found it hard / it’s hard to find / oh well, whatever, nevermind” but maybe it’s a double-entendre because it sounds like he’s singing, “it’s hard to find the will, whatever, nevermind…”

and then i came out of the bathroom and i felt sort of bashful looking at the topless women so i kept my eyes on the floor and i picked a seat around the bar because that seemed like the appropriate place to sit based on where everyone else had positioned themselves. inside the club were 2 middle eastern middle-aged men, the bouncer, about 15 strippers, and me.
the bartender came up to me and said “what would you like?”

no, but makes for a great read:
and then one of the strippers’ routines was over and she came down off the stage and got tips from the middle-eastern men and then came over to me and held her bra open expectantly and i took my $1 out of my wallet and put it on the bar, i think the idea was to put it right in her bra but i thought “i don’t even know this woman” and she picked it up and walked away

I like the part where he forgets the strippers name - but, NOT because she's "dehumanized" to him, he's just bad with names
i think we can all agree that the point of minimal techno is to dehumanize strippers.
