he seems like one of those guys who when he was younger kinda wanted to be "in" and never got there, so he got a little misanthropic, and that caused people to push him aside more, which caused him to be more misanthropic, and on and on, and now his existence boils down to picking fights with the girlfriends of indie rockers.

Yeah, I don't like his writing, but his videos are strangely compelling. He doesn't come across like the person I imagined him to be.

Really liked that video, and hope it goes on to more parts. The playlist associated with it is nice to have as well...

It's continued in part 25. But yeah, I hope there are more parts beyond these two.

A former writer for Pitchfork and the Village Voice, and the author of both a self-published eBook and a 33 1/3 title on Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures, Chris Ott now produces an online video series called Shallow Rewards, viewable at shallowrewards.comWith airfare to Miami, hotel stays on either side of the cruise, and an onboard junior suite to double as an artist interview room, $10,000 should cover all associated expenses.This cruise is an opportunity to engage with a number of very successful artists from the last generation of musicians to profit from physical media and the pre-digital music industry. With personal and academic commentary from the author, as well as indeterminate contributions from the artists and organizers, the ensuing book should be a rich summary of the myriad sea changes (yessssss) brought about by the Internet.

ott you're wrong about the Lilys! Eccsame was unique.
― Evan, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 14:30 (twelve years ago)
it is true that i take no prisoners. mac de marco is a doofus and his music is terrible, 2013/14 = pitchperfect PR and life or death clients and then rest-of-world as far as indie ce-web-rity coverage.
it was unique and is not horrible but is also more post-rock than gaze should have sued mercury rev over deserter's songs.
it is good to be back i can feel the distant pangs of my ilxor persona returning.

Yes it wasn't shoegaze at all, but neither were any of the records after the first (save for some songs here and there). xp

i actually managed to join his semi unofficial discord server once i caught a livestream. there were a fair deal of people considering how elusive the whole thing was, they weren't that friendly to newcomers like myself though. i actually had to send my rym account to an admin in order to "prove i was a real person" but come on that was obv to judge if my music taste was good enough lol.
i like some of the shallow rewards videos, mostly because i'm more interested in critics talking about the music industry as a whole rather than trying to sell me why an album is good/bad. if anyone knows any other critic that does this i'd be glad to hear
― marblesurf, Saturday, 20 November 2021 13:58 (four years ago)
ott's analysis of the industry sucks though & regularly would delve into conspiratorial nonsense
