Pitchfork Reviews Reviews

Cheez-Its are the shiiiiiiiiiiiiittttt.

guys I am really proud of coining (?? afaik) the nickname "pitch revvy-rev" and I encourage you all to adopt it

I suggest it be further abbreviated to P-Revvy Rev.

i just call it p now

xpost that works too

There's a certain beauty in being a lone wolf. You have more time to do the things you want to do, like take introspective walks, read books, write, Create Instant Romantic Poetry, and other solitary endeavors.

reminds me of zach galianaikaniakis in 'the hangover'

1. Rapper makes record that isn't as good as his previous records but is still pretty good if you don't get hung up on comparing it to his previous records.

2. Said rapper finds he has less interesting stuff to rap about once he is successful and no longer an underdog.

You know?

congrats you're the 478th guy to come up with this

appropriately, many of the most recent posts have pertained to the subject of whether or not we should keep posting on this thread. What a meta way to go!

there should be a thread to discuss whether or not people should post on this thread imo

Obvious jokes/puns that people always make as though they were the first persons to think of them

lol, touche

1,350+ messages y'all way to go

tbf, like 1,200 of them are ilxor

I hope PRR guy can read this thread & rest a little easier with the knowledge of exactly who his detractors really are...

this thread absolutely needs to get into next year's Da Capo Best Music Writing series.

Alongside PRR, amirite?

; )

If someone started a Best Music Bitching series, this thread could be the leading chapter in the first volume.

that whole book would be ILX threads for real...

ilxor, i love you, but i think u need a timeout holmes

:'(

The Dave Matthews Band thread deserves a hardcover release. This thread... less so.

Dude must have really wanted to bone that publicist.

that was the worst one yet

i am wondering if she believes what she is saying or if she is a publicist so she needs to act like she believes it, but again maybe i am being cynical

Classic.

he is crouched over a mixer, DJing off a really old iPod

But this line made me stop laughing and feel sad and ancient.

we talk about how when you are DJing it always seems like a great idea to play the song Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club [ . . . ] but it's not a good idea because about a minute and a half into the song someone starts yelling JAAAAAAMES BROOOOOOWN, JAAAAAAMES BROOOOOOWN over the song in a really guttural way and people stop dancing because the yelling is too abrasive

It's like a misfiring stand-up routine. "Hey, you know when you're DJing and you play Genius of Love? Right? We've all been there… No?… Er, OK, is anyone here from Williamsburg?"

is that part of genius of love really abrasive? cant imagine ever stopping dancing when that song is on

He should play the remix where someone whispers "Al Green, Al Green."

i think it's more like the DJ was saying that, and in a spirit of inclusivity he's reporting it as something "we" talked about. but no, never happens.

predictably, i liked the piece

I found it an enjoyable read but maybe it's because I am a cynic and/or naive

i ask victor, "does being in das racist get you laid? has it helped you get laid more since you got Best New Music?"

and he looks a little surprised and looks at me and then looks at the Showpapers hanging on the wall and thinks about the question for a while. we look around the room while he thinks and listen to the song that he's playing, which is a Beenie Man song, and kids are singing along and dancing, there is a photographer standing on a stage by the front of the room taking pictures and there are kids playing video games around us, and then Victor starts saying something about how when you are in a fairly popular indie rap group and girls see you on stage, you sort of have an automatic advantage, but then he stops himself and looks down at my Blackberry screen, where i am taking notes, and realizes that maybe he doesn't really wanna give away trade secrets or sound like an asshole and he indicates that he doesn't want to answer anymore and then he smiles and i say "okay i understand"

and then he looks sort of uneasy and says "talking about game kills game, you know?"

and then he thinks again and says "but maybe we owe it to women to talk about game in front of them?"

and then he looks at my Blackberry screen where i have written "maybe we owe it 2 wmn 2 talk abt game in front of them tho" and he points to it and says "yo that sounds corny in print!"

This = AWESOME

reviewing reviews kills reviews, you know?
