skot's review of the pitchfork top 100 tracks was great

Spottie, here you are:

ty, sorry didn't know skot was THAT skot.

Loved this bit from the Skot blog post:

I love that the Prurient dude is called “unfathomably prolific” in the Pitchfork blurb! Like you couldn't possibly fathom how prolific this guy is. Welcome to noiseland. Where prolific artists are very very fathomable. The norm, really. There are dudes that make Prurient look like a three-toed sloth. Noise people are like sci-fi writers. If they are awake they can probably make a tape/art/start a zine/start a label/play in 20 different side-projects. They are really BUSY for people who often move slowly and don't always have steady employment. If we could harness the inner nervous energy of America's noise musicians, I think we could reach Mars in a matter of days.

Haha that Skot thing is ridiculously quotable!

The album’s okay. File it next to the first Elastica album that you sold years ago.

It's endlessly OTM, afaic.

4AD was one of the greatest independent record labels of the 1980's.

Also the repping for people as probably a nice guy.

We really do need a poll of best Skot lines in this thing.

This single should come with a car. In order to buy this single, you must drive it away from the showroom.

Wait, did he say that the demons want his dome? In any case, A$AP Scott approves.

This has been the best morning. Thank you, Skot!

My 8-year-old son might like this one. He’s been listening to a lot of Deadmau5 and he’s eight so he’s very familiar with alternate spellings. This just makes me feel like Mount Rushmore.

Man, this would really freak out my cats. This is future music!

awesome work all around, loved reading

I enjoy selling Fleetwood Mac records to teenagers. I really do.

If this music excites you, you're already dead.

87. The National - “Pink Rabbits” (4AD)
The link on Pitchfork is to a song by The National called “Sea Of Love” so I'll just listen to that.... We may never know what “Pink Rabbits” sounds like but if “Sea Of Love” is any indication, we will never know what “Pink Rabbits” sounds like.

Lol but pink rabbits is a great track.

Haha xp so good

And theoretically I like the IDEA of genre-smashing superheroes like M.I.A. And Santigold, but for some reason I hear their stuff and when it's done it's gone. Right out of my head. Like a bird. Like a bird that knows Diplo.

glad you liked it, you guyz! hugz & kissez! your pal, SS

post more often please

You certainly helped articulate my feelings towards mbv in a way that I never quite could: I am definitely a fan of the old stuff. When the new album came out, I was happy for even bigger fans in the way that you are happy for a relative who gets a promotion or a friend who posts pictures on Facebook of them finishing some sort of charity road race. Good for you!

it was so nice to have kevin $hields back, i welcomed him

ahaha

lol

“I Love My Dad” finds Kozelek possibly outing himself as a recovering alcoholic (“I’ll have an O’Doul’s and my friend here will have a Guinness”) and a victim of child abuse, but it's otherwise quotably hilarious, detailing a relationship with his father where valuable life lessons are imparted through both Iron Mike-style beatdowns and Edgar Winter records.

If this wasn't glib enough, there's also a YouTube link to the Tyson/Spain fight underneath "Iron Mike-style beatdowns" in case you felt like investigating Kozelek's abuse metaphor further.

skot otm

a solo strikes down out [of] nowhere like a cartoon lightning bolt

but nothing here feels as unhinged as the borealis chaos of at the end of "Northern Lights"

you missed the craziest part of the review which was the microwaved banana metaphor

i kind of liked that

"this album is an epic of of modest proportions"

who needs editors?

Of Modest is the name of my dog

see i can imagine what an "epic of of modest proportions" might be. sort of like chamber music.

can't wait for the next minor copyediting error to appear on the website so you can bump this thread again. it really is an endless giddy thrill

oh wait "of of" is the complaint? wow.

RIP journalism

"this album is an epic of of montreal proportions"

that wasn't the only minor copywriting error today, either, just the most adorable

"an epic of modest proportions"

less like the Siege of Troy than the Assault on Precinct 13

this album is an epic of modest mouse proportions

this daily spot-the-typo game is a nice warm-up to the ny times crossword puzzle. thanks pitchfork!

"and an example [of] what makes Elbow, at its least potent, so subtly unsubtle."

That's a horribly written review from start to finish

"an effortlessly leaden exhibition of glum triumphalism"

Why are you up so early

got excellent news yesterday afternoon and was too wired to sleep

Congratulations on being appointed as P4k's new copy editor :)

you missed the best one: "a discrete if uninentional reimagining of Blur’s 'Tender'"
