i don't understand how wondering why YG didn't get an arbitrary designation (that generally means something tangible to those who receive it) from a website = earnestly engaging w/ the music of the National and the Hold Steady
― alpine static, Tuesday, 29 July 2014 22:37 (nine years ago) link
the right side of that equation is a much more worthwhile use of time

I half-agree with you

man it would warm my heart to click on a new pitchfork review and be faced with a short-story-as-review rather than introductory links and "it has been five years since blah blah..."

It is smart marketing for both parties, dunno why we would be picking on this. Of all things they did wrong over the years.

I thought late shows were kind of universally frustrating to all concert goers and there seems to be literally NOTHING marketable about this, and you are taking a half-baked unwanted thing and trying to spin it in a positive way but all of it seems completely ridiculous and unnecessary

Here's an idea, how about a Jim Beam®-sponsored restaurant event where they take an hour and a half to bring you your food because of the great bonding experience of sitting at a table with friends you love

It's almost like advertisers have no fucking idea what they're doing, and websites are totally at their mercy because no one else is giving them money

Probably half of ILM has been paid by Heineken for articles at some point what's the big deal

Did any of you ever know that "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" is actually a song about addiction? Kind of makes its choice as a beer ad even more suspect. Or perhaps ... subversive?
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 31 July 2014 12:27 (nine years ago) link
I dunno everyone decided en masse that no one wanted to pay for music so it seems churlish to mock everyone who's trying to navigate through the rubble

i think the fact that everyone rolled over w/r/t Converse Rubber Tracks/Mountain Dew Green Label/The oral history of 285 Kent producing events for our million-dollar website presented by TopShop means that no one cares anymore, dogg
