I've never listened to AB before so I thought it was more of a schreiber does coltrane kind of thing

yeah I figured most of those lyrics were quotes but its still really hacky and stupid

i may have a vested interest here but this review really bothered me:
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/16309-the-end-of-that/
"[L]ike so much of the record, it initially sounds plainspoken and charming until you realize absolutely nobody talks like that."
criticizing a song for not sounding like people... talk??

s1ocki, you ruined my joke, joke-blocker
And people actually do talk like that.

haha that's a weird criticism
is that dude's platonic ideal of lyric writing "Popular" by Nada Surf

people in movies don't actually talk like people do irl

people don't say irl in person!

I have no idea about that album but I think this is a valid criticism in some form. It bothered me in Clerks b/c the whole appeal of that movie was that it was supposedly "real talk"!

i've never heard the album, or even heard of the band, but anyone who talks like this needs to have their mouth privileges revoked:
"...fucked-up bumblebee/ Headed for the potpourri...You turn me on so with your bee-sting lips/ And your pepper-grinder hips/ Like a thread in the needle/ We're just typical people"

is it just me or is it a a bit weird that pfork runs a long review of the new amadou & mariam album (one that longs for more sounds of their homeland) without the slightest mention of the military coup currently taking place in mali?

i mean i dont expect more than a passing reference but it seems to say... something... about... something. i dunno.
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 16:56 (twelve years ago) link
tbh Mark I wouldn't have even heard about the coup myself were it not for ____.

Ugh sorry I meant s1ocki

me neither! but i'm not writing a long article about malian music either...
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 17:01 (twelve years ago) link
haha i didnt even notice.
I can't think of any easy way to comment on a two-week old coup within a review that mentions Jake Shears and TVOTR guest spots.
― mom in the woods (Ówen P.), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 17:09 (twelve years ago) link
i dunno, it just seems to say something about how little context we get with our global supermarket of pop music, fwiw
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 17:10 (twelve years ago) link
its also somewhat possible that the review was written before the coup began

yeah, it's a bit weird. but no more than that.
― Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 17:17 (twelve years ago) link
i think the drop-down for coup announcements is in the "news" tab.

uh, good observation. i mean, you expect pitchfork to go back and have their pop music review tweaked to incorporate current world events?

yes, if i was the editor, i would prob do that so as to not seem completely clueless

there is utterly no reason to pick contenderizer's post out of that whole exchange other than your weird thing w/ contenderizer

it's sort of reassuring, though
hi, deej
― Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 19:10 (twelve years ago) link
I completely agree! I'm just saying that I find it a little weird to start expecting this out of Pitchfork, of all places.

i think its funny how hes constantly reassuring ppl that nothing is actually problematic or racist or offensive or sexist or etc. etc. -- seems like hes doing a lot of minimizing all the time
― D-40, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:40 (twelve years ago) link
dude, if you ever bothered to think for a moment about anything you read/type, you'd realize that i spend a fuck of a lot of time on ILX calling out shit as racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. way more so than most posters. you've just decided to make a big psycho issue out of this because i don't always agree with you.
― Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
I love how dick-waving on ILX essentially amounts to who can call the most people racist

Might be a bit off topic but I have wondered if members of Tinariwen and Terakaft might be involved in the fighting in Mali.

i have not
― Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 06:09 (twelve years ago) link
I've thought about that too. I don't really know exactly how closely connected they are to the guerillas, but I've gotte the impression it's pretty close. Wouldn't be too surprising if they are involved I guss...
And Contenderizer: Thanks for sharing that important piece of information..
