the audience for that type of writing = 15-year-old theater kids
signed, a former 15-year-old theater kid who wishes he had a time machine so he could go back and shake some sense into his younger self

At least your dream spared you from that Heidegger drop.
Ah, always waiting for the drop.

as when a skrillex drops from a fixed point to its consequences, it always sees before it an empty space where it can never set foot, no matter how it wriggles

In a recent interview with NME, Breton frontman Roman Rappak claimed that the London four-piece is "not out to make a big political statement." His declaration is hardly provocative until you learn that Breton's HQ-- functioning as studio, home, squat, party venue-- is a disused bank in south London.

On its self-titled debut, this Vancouver "garage soul" band does a faithful, playful recreation of 1960s girl-group sounds, filtered through proudly grimy production.
this is like the ur-pitchfork band description

I think, perhaps, that this article gives the impression, or maybe confirms the suspicion, that Pitchfork pays, not by the word, but by the, comma

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?
This is a good piece addressing the phenomenon of Western media ignoring the political realities of Mali in their reporting on Malian musicians (in this case, Tinariwen):http://blog.afropop.org/2012/04/tinariwen-mali-and-failure-of-western.html

i skimmed it, but there was also the fleet foxes dude who got offended because of a generally positive pfork review a few weeks ago, because it misused some music terms and dared to be slightly critical. actually that was pretty hilarious.

I don't mind these when they are funny, as this one is.
As for the cover, well, there’s a penguin on it you stupid cunt.
Also, I did kinda like him calling Pitchfork on the "corporate" name-calling thing.

i always enjoy reading Ian Cohen takedowns of bands i've never heard, and that Future Of The Left review was the rare one that actually made me want to hear the band's (other) records because he sold their merits pretty convincingly. and then i tried to read the FOTL guy's pointless nitpicking response and lost the desire to listen to them again.
