I dunno. If I had realized they sounded like Thursday, I might have listened to them 15 years ago.

i feel like p4k has been covering a ton of old bands lately, makes me question whether their core audience really is passionate millenial males tbh

so there IS a new issue of the pitchfork review coming out. but i'm not in it. sad really. i liked being in a pretty magazine that you could find at the last remaining barnes & noble on earth. it's the jazz issue too and i totally could have written about the best dollar jazz records! i'm guessing j-hop was my only champion over there.
― scott seward, Thursday, 14 April 2016 15:42 (eight years ago) link
Maybe you can write about jazz for MTV or wherever she went.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 14 April 2016 15:44 (eight years ago) link
yeah, she went to MTV.

I read stuff you link via twitter but I just can't look at that site
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 14 April 2016 16:53 (eight years ago) link
i will always read ilxors on pitchfork if they link it on the facebook. but that's all i read on there.
― scott seward, Thursday, 14 April 2016 17:17 (eight years ago) link
i actually think the pitch section has really improved lately -- less hot take-y stuff and more interesting niche pieces.
― tylerw, Thursday, 14 April 2016 17:21 (eight years ago) link
it has (including your stuff!), but unfortunately it coincided with the time that the section got demoted to a tag
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 14 April 2016 17:28 (eight years ago) link
more of a promotion tbh
― de l'asshole (flopson), Thursday, 14 April 2016 17:33 (eight years ago) link
yeah i don't know, it seems more buried now? but it also just looks the same as the rest of the site ... guessing that most readers don't really care what section a thing is in
― tylerw, Thursday, 14 April 2016 17:49 (eight years ago) link
i mean, everything is kind of buried now. but at least they appear as news items when fresh
― de l'asshole (flopson), Thursday, 14 April 2016 17:53 (eight years ago) link
they should bring peter sotos back to pitchfork. his critical voice has been sorely missed.

lol i kind of wish people shared p4k articles on my FB, no one talks about music in my feed, it is all bernie bros and bad memes
― marcos, Thursday, 14 April 2016 21:31 (eight years ago) link
A lot of the people I'm connected to on Facebook actually work for record labels, so I see more links to Billboard than to Pitchfork.

Now, having long ago donated the majority of the Kickstarter proceeds to a Malian NGO, Dibb has finally emerged with a mostly self-financed, small-scale album that was quietly released this month in a special cassette/book edition for donors (and on Bandcamp for everyone else). But despite all the Kickstarter confusion and communication breakdowns, none of Dibb’s out-of-pocket supporters should feel short-changed. Because whatever anxiety Dibb felt about not following through on his Kickstarter campaign has been channeled into a wonderful little album about overcoming the anxiety of not following through on your Kickstarter campaign. Okay, so Sleep Cycle doesn’t include any lyrics that specifically reference inflated funding targets and comment-section outrage, but this exercise in self-help psychedelia provides a poignant portrait of an artist regaining their confidence one song at a time.

Pfft. "Lisa's Sax" was a Season 9 episode, not a Season 3 episode!I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

2016 marks the 20th anniversary of the Squirrel Nut Zippers most celebrated and commercially successful album Hot. Originally released in the summer of 1996, Hot was the follow up to the band’s critically acclaimed debut The Inevitable. By this time the group had already established a substantial live following across the country thanks to early support from NPR, college radio and non-commercial stations. Hot wound up selling over 1.3 million copies. Pitchfork, which was in it’s second year of operation at the time, raved about Hot giving it a 9.5 and saying: “When you first splashdown into the CD, ya hit this realization: that people even older than your parents liked music like this. …Hot is exuberant, gin house swing without apologies and it rocks without pretense. If you can manage to resist liking it, you must be dead.”
