BW: It just felt like life. We were used to always being exhausted and stoned, but apparently it looked weird to other people.

Pitchfork: Are you guys exhausted now?

All: No.

the phish of dorkcore. wait, no, that's still phish...

"Cadmium" was inspired by a book compiling letters sent between two authors, the first of which was a square of the titular color. As a seemingly sturdy barroom shuffle collapses, Hall yelps about the impossibility of just telling it like it is

there is no shuffle rhythm in this song

pfork writer in not being familiar with correct musical jargon shockah

i went into the wayback machine and found some cool banner ads on pitchfork

"Support your local poet" vs “The Black Keys are a broke-down blues-punk duo who holler fuzzed-out tunes about pain, suffering and dancing. You WILL get down.”, which was the better tagline?

i'm surprised shitty banner ads haven't yet made an ironic hipster comeback. i give it 2 years.

i reportedly dont give a shit

excellent

lol

it feels hurried...and somewhat sloppy

maybe the most unforgivably stupid thing Kanye West has ever rapped

it comes off as both his most labored-over and unfinished album

there are moments here where he just sounds like another asshole

9.0

Rating first, review later.

Maybe they'll keep revising the score over the next few days.

Since when was it a critic's job to criticize Kanye for the stupid shit he says in his music?

Rushing out a review this quickly and criticizing the album for being "hurried" is pretty funny, although I doubt intentionally so. Whole album review section is such a mess these days.

i liked the review.

xp i was gonna also make the joke that they should change the score every 2 days.

I also thought this was a very good review and if this is "rushed" then it's a far better rush job than anything I've ever written

yeah i really like that review

Wait ... is it not?

oh. ok, sorry.

reading it again that seems obvious :)

can someone tell some Pfork editors what a fucking shuffle beat is cuz apparently they have no clue:

It’s nearly impossible, hearing Page France’s giddily twee "Trampoline" or Cotton Jones’ roadhouse shuffle "Blood Red Sentimental Blues,"

I mean wtf

Can't say I'm surprised by this

Pitchfork finally ends their coverage of underground/independent nobodies to realize their true calling: Covering the most popular pop, rap and R&B albums on the planet.

my favorite thing on pitchfork!

happy to read individual ilxOrs reviews on pitchfork cuz they tend to be some of the only things worth reading on there but marc's column was just a great resource for cool new weird stuff i might not have heard about otherwise.

it's going to live on at their tumblr, right?

yeah a bummer, my favorite thing, too -- kind of surprising, really, seems like it covered a good niche that pfork wouldn't want to entirely abandon, even if it wasn't going to be a huge source of clicks. makes me wonder how long my column will last over there (though I'm a little mystified that it's lasted as long as it has).
and yeah, they're going to continue doing the 200 words thing on tumblr... http://the-out-door.tumblr.com/
