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

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

http://pitchfork.com/news/54930-pitchfork-launches-nightcap-series/
This June, Pitchfork is launching Nightcap, a series of late night shows across the United States.
It starts at 10 PM. Get it? It's a show, but it starts kinda late!! Isn't that really interesting??

― the glimmer man (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 20:13 (ten years ago) link
that's not even that late for a show
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 29 April 2014 20:18 (ten years ago) link
oohhh things are gonna get a little blue at that hour i bet

I am seriously confused by this entire thing since a) as CAD said that is really not that late for a show b) what is the appeal of having a show start kind of late?
― funny and lolexander (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 20:49 (ten years ago) link
"starts at 10pm" means the headliner goes on at 1 am in my experience so that's pretty lateappeal to the venue would be they can rent out the space and make moneyjim beam gets a ton of exposureall the shows are in major cities where 1 am start is not ridicseems pretty straightforward

does everyone that goes to these shows get commemorative caps?
― sarahell, Tuesday, 29 April 2014 20:53 (ten years ago) link
everyone gets commemorative mustaches
― sitting on a claud all day gotta make your butt numb (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 20:54 (ten years ago) link
So they'll film some shows? I don't see any reason to mock this. Yeah so it's not very late, what idiots gawd!
Though honestly they didn't really explain this very well. Is there a concept/gimmick to it beyond recording live performances?

― Evan, Tuesday, 29 April 2014 20:55 (ten years ago) link
Oh wait they're throwing shows. So they're just booking bands?
― Evan, Tuesday, 29 April 2014 20:56 (ten years ago) link
we can mock it for its "water is wet" marketing approach
― sarahell, Tuesday, 29 April 2014 20:57 (ten years ago) link
it's almost like Jim Beam came to them and said "we have X amount of dollars what could we do" and then they came up with this idea and now people in New York can see a Majical Cloudz show
― whatchutola khomeini (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 21:00 (ten years ago) link
Assuming it's not JUST them booking bands for random venues, I don't even know what it is at all before I can mock it.
― Evan, Tuesday, 29 April 2014 21:01 (ten years ago) link
its an advertising partnership. they're just booking shows, but jim beam pays for it
― whatchutola khomeini (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 21:02 (ten years ago) link
it sounds like it's just them booking bands at random venues
― sarahell, Tuesday, 29 April 2014 21:03 (ten years ago) link
and it's called "nightcap" because it's sponsored by an alcoholic beverage company
― sarahell, Tuesday, 29 April 2014 21:04 (ten years ago) link
it's not very interesting or imaginative but it could be worse -- there could be dumb fake mustaches or they could have spelled it "nightc@p" or started an aggressive hashtag branding campaign

why are we discussing this

i'm not trying to be snide, i'm just curiousis the presumption that the pitchfork name means it deserves scrutiny/ridicule?

I was gonna come on here earlier to make fun of their constant mining of every little thing that happens between Drake vs. Jay-Z for front page news but forgot to.
