pitchfork

the swedish fish have also been in magazines and stuff too

its the kind of viral campaign that makes you think there's more to it, but there actually isn't

oh ok

it's just an ad for swedish fish

I like that it doesn't link to anything though - it's a very old-fashioned ad, just an image

underrated aerosmith, you have been paid by fishpork to get us to refresh the philip jeck review 100 times in hopes of seeing candy

Maybe its something to do with this? http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2010/09/biebers_backstage_demands_swed.html

These aren't appearing for me... must be a US only thing? No Bigfoots either.

why does the roc marciano album get a 8.1 but not a bnm?

That swedish fish is just a red herring imo.

i don't see any fish

well the image I posted is an "open image in new tab" from the pitchfork site - there's three parts of one fish that are just stored images, not live links, and they occur on pages on the site today - I read two reviews & a news story and saw fish twice

hipsters luv candy

it's one thing that makes hipsters unique, everybody else is like "fuck candy"

NickB killin it

it's hard when someone's talking about animals you don't see and all you can do is tilt your head and curse the horrors of DTs
(no fish here)

starting a band called fuck candy right now

Fuck Chocolate Buttons

"Hear the New Bright Eyes Album Now"

no thanks

good point

Watch: Dismemberment Plan Cover Das Racist

Back in the day, beloved DC post-punks the Dismemberment Plan traditionally closed many of their shows with drawn-out versions of their first album nugget "OK Joke's Over". Frontman Travis Morrison would use the song's thrashed-out ending to riff on whatever pop or rap song happened to be running through his head at that moment. (My favorite memory of the song involved a Baltimore show where opening act Cex ran out, tackled Morrison, grabbed the mic, and sang a pretty sizable chunk of Pearl Jam's "Animal".) D-Plan, currently in the midst of their reunion tour, are continuing the "OK Joke's Over" tradition.

As Eardrum NYC reports, during "OK Joke's Over" on Friday night in Boston, Morrison seized the occasion to perform a piece of Das Racist's deathless annoyance anthem "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell". Or that's how it started out, anyway. By the end, Morrison was dementedly screaming "Chick-fil-A! Chick-fil-A!" over and over. Watch the video below, via the D-Plan's Facebook.

gahhhh why would anyone want to hear this shit

"deathless annoyance anthem"

As Eardrum NYC reports

ugh that's even worse than the Dismemberment Plan show i saw last week where he sang "Like A G6"

"Whip My Hair" was the winner at Friday's Webster Hall show. Though if you're offended by him putting a bit of some hit/meme at the end of that song then you shouldn't stay to the end of a D-Plan show.

that's all not nearly as bad as the Dismemberment Plan show I saw where they played Dismemberment Plan songs

0.0

well the lyric quotes in "OK, Joke's Over" in 2000-2003 were sometimes pretty dorky but usually not quite as dorky as Far East Movement or Das Racist

oh woop de shit

would have you preferred some cee-lo or something?

that's all not nearly as bad as the Dismemberment Plan show I saw where they played Dismemberment Plan songs

hahahah whiney g for the fucking WIN

mm i kind of really want to watch this video

this is really disappointing coming from another drummer i really like

and yeah re: like a g6 tags loosen up everybody

(philly got "dancing on my own" and "single ladies")

(which is a huge step up from "back that azz up" and "such great heights" in 03)

(travis morrison enjoys music that embarrasses rockcrits welcome to 2001)

rock critics were embarrassed to like the postal service?

i think he meant the dismemberment plan

i wanna make myself believe, that rock critics love gibbard

i'm embarrassed that i like the postal service

srsly though, am i the only one who considers travis' total earnestness about his taste to be a really freeing positive? i don't mean like girl talk being earnest about his love for lady in the water, i mean guy who hears "like a g6" on the way to work and doesn't second-guess why he's humming it later

i guess -- it's only refreshing if you hang out w/ ppl who would get all self-conscious about pop songs, or only listen to singers that do that

the pfork end of year celebrity guest list was filled w/ indie artists talking about pop songs

"like a g6" is obv on the high end of the corny scale, but "single ladies" & "whip my hair" are pretty agreeable hits by and large idk

uhhhhh kinda? didn't andy k do a study where the-dream appeared like 6 times on pfork guest lists in 2010, but there was only one other mention of any R&B artist among all the lists??

Really of all p-approved acts only The Tough Alliance have genuinely "bad" taste in pop music.

there was an awful lot of Drake name dropping this year :-/

yeah idk -- there's certainly a slant towards 'cooler' pop esp rap/r&b & not white people pop -- but i guess my point is that an indie artist covering beyonce or willow seems a bit more passé afte pfork itself started earnestly covering pop -- i think this is reflected in the taste of new indie bands that are the babies of pfork

yeah like, who is 2000's equivalent of best coast & would that person have listed their dream collaboration as jay-z

2000 being the year 2000 & not the decade

travis covering oops i did it again changed everything

i know a dude irl who has expressed the opinion that earnestly liking pop music is so passe
