"Mr. Corgan"

This whole thing reminds me of a cover of a Pumpkins show in Feminist Baseball circa 95/96 that I still giggle at whenever I think of it

i dont hate p4k, but found it funny to read their review of adeles when we were young, and talking about trying to sound older, when so many of their reviewers now sound like theyre trying to sound like they are about 45 years old!
The sadness swells in her voice as she looks at her friends, who stand with her ravaged by time, knowing the moment won't last forever. What comes next is the inevitability of separation, and then the finality of death. "I'm so mad I'm getting old, it makes me reckless," she sings. But inside all this seriousness and all this sadness are reasons to be happy for what's happened. When she performed the song on "SNL", her hands flared as she hit that peak and went into overdrive. As her backup singers repeated the song's title a moment later, she began mouthing along to the refrain, putting on a goofy smile as she pointed back and forth between herself and someone standing offstage. In broadcasting this private interaction for millions, she reminded us that when you strip away the outsized emotion of her songs, you're left with the connection between two people—an intimacy she never forgets.
or maybe its just a particularly american music crit kind of earnestness i have a weird aversion to.

"Will we be alright, as Kendrick Lamar assures? And who is that "we"? In the realm of the pop anthem, "we" have had a long life. Perhaps it’s the "we" who are champions, who will rock you. But more likely it’s the same "we" who shall overcome."

i almost never care about anything i read online anymore, but this sentence i read today on Pitchfork needs help:
"It will sound as good the day you get fired and get day-drunk at a TGI Fridays as the day you hire a party bus to celebrate your promotion."
― scott seward, Monday, 14 December 2015 21:40 (eight years ago) link
i just want to help!
i don't actually know how to help though. i want to help in theory...

that's like the working man's version of "witnessing the stillborn birth of a child while simultaneously having the opportunity to see her play in the afterlife on Imax."

lol that line is classic

imo comparing that review to other reviews is like comparing an aquarium to blue construction paper

white ppl should be banned from writing about kendrick lamar, is how i feel about the schnipper blurb, and white ppl trying to earnestly and poetically demonstrate that they get him might be worse than white ppl who don't get him

it was def a weird trend when white people were calling it like an "unapologetically black album" as shorthand for a lot of things
― poorzingis (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 15 December 2015 00:39 (eight years ago) link
as opposed to all those black albums that kinda hedge
― tsrobodo, Tuesday, 15 December 2015 00:42 (eight years ago) link
would make a The Grey Album joke if I thought it would help

xp "Overwhelming blackness" was written by a black writer fwiw - Clover Hope. That was the article Carl Wilson was quoting.

it was actually something pharrell said about 'king kunta'

Pharrell's original quote was "unapologetically black" and the synonyms kind of proceeded from there with "overwhelming blackness" being Clover Hope's line.

Two versions of Hotline Bling on one list (three if you count Cha Cha, I guess)

this feels awkward http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/9774-the-year-in-lyrics-2015/
― niels, Monday, 21 December 2015 13:48 (eight years ago) link
idk if its dumb but, yeah, awkward
― carly rae jetson (thomp), Monday, 21 December 2015 15:18 (eight years ago) link
problematic even
I can see how a "memorable punch lines 2015" might kind of work if some effort was put into making it either v extensive or cohesive, this just seems.. lazy/unfinished
also not a good balance between pics><lyrics

have to admit, I giggled at "Here Lies Good Ol' Sufjan"
