what next for Chris ott?

like this is fine! actually this reminds me a lot of something i forgot about old school "classic" pitchfork, is they would take a solid indie rock band like this band, or wrens, or tapes and tapes, which i guess were all fine and good but you could have found like 3 bands just as good in any decent sized college town and suddenly make them out to be this total genius next big thing

gotta be honest w/u this is p much how I felt about the 'Mats at the time w/r/t how ppl would be goin off and I'd be like "oh, ok, they get drunk and rock out, cool I guess??"

yeah I mean I duno they were no Suicide Commandos

or Buzz Barker and the Atomic Bums

or NNB

I remember well bands such as clearlake, cyann and ben, and the russian futurists

(I like the Mats but living in MN it's hard not to get permanantly sick of them...and sadly Prince as well to a degree)

erase all of his posts immediately

ums has repeatedly made us aware of his negative views about prince, and we’ve determined that it no longer makes sense to have any association with him or his posts moving forward. We wish him all the best.

never getting sick of classic Prince but when i was living in mpls it got pretty depressing having to listen to the Current try to get excited about a new Prince single that would inevitably be garbage.

wonder if anybody's ever been fired from the Current for failing to get sufficiently pumped about a mid-2000s Prince jam

yah this what i mean, it's not like i hate "pop life" or "when doves cry" all of a sudden it's just like this whole state has camped out on his purple nutsack for soooo fucking long it's just grating

why did i remind myself of the existence of "Cause and Effect"?

i'm "exploring other opportunities" like making "20 best archers of loaf songs on rate your music

oh yeah chris ott seems like a cool guy who definitely doesn't twirl himself around in an office chair with his fingers steepled.

'lowest part is free' or keep on moving xp

lowest part is free is a ill archers jawn mooks

the frigid, faggy dungeon currently overrun with a thousand self-obsessed, coke-snorting keyboard players.

Yeah I like the Constantines.

It's not their fault Ott wrote their album review.

We wish him all the best.

was there a time when this phrase meant anything other than the exact opposite of what it would seem to mean?

while "The Last Blues" (aptly titled, as it was the last blues number Coltrane ever recorded)

Ah, Coltrane...smooth as Crystal Pepsi, yall

The two untitled tracks, "90314" and "90320" are not just crazy- assed, rabid jazz tunes, but California zip codes, as well.

they are not.

that's like the watered- down, syrupy cola, ultra- caucasian smooth

man i hope this ryan schreiber guy grew up

anyone know what he's up to now?

the fact that Ryan took a fanzine from "shit, cat" to a $15m paycheck -- aka probably the most money ANY human being has made w indie rock and would wager that includes anyone involved with the Sub Pop/Geffen deal -- should actually be an inspiring story that you can do anything if you follow your passion

assuming your passion is building a brand and your goal is to make millions of dollars

in the selling of that brand

Really doubt Ryan sat in his mom's basement in 1996 saying "TIME TO BUILD A BRAND" but w/e

xpost i didn't say he was. i was describing the scenario in which the million-dollar sale of a brand would be inspirational. david geffen selling his stake in asylum records for millions in the 70s was certainly impressive, but it's inspirational only if your goal is to build something and then sell it for a large amount of money.

but it's inspirational only if your goal is to build something and then sell it for a large amount of money.

who in the world would not want to do this?

for instance, someone may want to create an business and maintain independent control

...forever?

it's possible that some people would be more inspired by, say, epitaph records continuing and thriving independently after its 90s success, than by Mammoth Records selling to Disney in 1997 after the success of the Squirrel Nut Zippers.

to be clear, i'm not saying it's wrong to sell your company for a lot of money. i'm merely explaining why that "big paycheck" in and of itself may not be be inspiring to all trying to follow their passion

ian mackaye is worth $25 million

sometimes selling can just mean that you don't have to work as hard? i dunno, there are a million reasons to sell a business.

or it can give you more time to do other stuff. or start another business! or retire.

who are you responding to

i forget.
