the '80s list was 2015? seems like years ago.
― billstevejim, Friday, 15 January 2016 21:39 (eight years ago) link
The decadence of the '00s was at an end. It was a time of conservation, of the profit principle, of high anxiety, of major label betrayals, of group therapy and raised voices, of cold, stony pursed lips on poker faces disguising a contagious terror that trickled down from managers and executives quivering in their boots. Free downloads threatened to take away yachts. The end of art was nigh, I could feel it.

i think everyone kinda knew they were wrong about "GOOD Fridays is back" even though they kept writing those completely unconfirmed words so many times throughout the past week as if it they could just make it true by writing them over and over again.

Of course, there’s a long tradition of rock musicians using heroin to inspire their best music—think Lou Reed, Neil Young, Keith Richards—but Smith found no truth in such myths. “You can’t write music when you’re high,” he says plainly. “You can’t do much of anything productive.”
I suppose the generous reading here is that Neil Young used *the subject* of heroin but still wtf editors

Pitchfork: Some of your songs, like “Fireworks,” also contain surreal narratives—how has the idea of making a story, or having a point, been something that's become important to you?
did the interviewer just ask why having a point is something that is important

On the front page of p4k.com there are summaries of the dailly record reviews - anyone know how to find summaries for older reviews?

kind of a weird request. if i were pitchfork i would be like "why are you so obsessed with me?"
― een, Tuesday, 9 February 2016 14:28 (eight years ago) link
I'd be like "hey good point we should probably include those summaries in the actual reviews as introductory paragraphs in boldface or smth like they do in the papers"
― niels, Tuesday, 9 February 2016 14:31 (eight years ago) link
can't argue with that
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 9 February 2016 14:32 (eight years ago) link
waybackmachine works for finding them, was looking for the Rihanna/Anti blurb:
Anyone hoping that ANTI might be Rihanna’s opus, some grand declaration of intent, is likely to be underwhelmed. ANTI is a fun and conflicted pop record, at its most interesting when it’s at its smallest and most idiosyncratic. If the album has a narrative arc, it’s about disappointment: the ways in which the people you trust can still come up short in the end, and how lonesome that can feel.
― niels, Tuesday, 9 February 2016 14:34 (eight years ago) link
they're usually just an amalgamation of sentences from the review?
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 9 February 2016 14:37 (eight years ago) link
but maybe the separate fragments of the summary could be highlighted in bold in the review? i dunno could be a fun time and not confusing
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 9 February 2016 14:39 (eight years ago) link
they contain clues about the content of the full reviews and should have Spoiler alerts

You don't need the Wayback Machine. You can simply get them by looking at the page source for the review and look for the line 'meta name="description"'.
