Father John Misty Tells Two Stories About Beyoncé Collaboration: One Real, One Fake

Ha ha ha. Yeah, pfork's embrace of this clown is consistently shocking to me, even when taking into account how terrible nu-pfork is

Pitchfork to Review Key Albums in the Prince Catalog
This is like what the 35th Prince related headline so far in the past week?
― Evan, Thursday, 28 April 2016 19:39 (eight years ago) link
they needed a headline to let people know what old albums they're planning on reviewing

would be funnier/more interesting if they just reviewed the albums nobody knows/remembers - The Gold Experience, Come, Rainbow Children, Rave un2 the Joy Fantastic, Musicology etc.

i'm not really a "pitchfork is dumb" thread guy, but the parenthetical here made me chuckle:
William Basinski, the composer behind the iconic Disintegration Loops, is among 31 contributors to a new Red Bull Music Academy project called Shattered Streams. Billed as "an experiment in musical ephemerality," it features artists including Fatima Al Qadiri, Fennesz, Wolf Eyes, Mumdance, Eluvium, Zebra Katz, and more, each of whom has created one track that will play on a loop, gradually degrading, over a 24-hour period, before disappearing completely. (Coincidentally, the project went under way yesterday, the same day Radiohead began fading out their social media presence.) Listeners can choose the period over which the track will degrade, with settings ranging from one minute to the full 24 hours. Check out today's track, by Basinski, here.

Obligatory "there are only three reviews today" post. I dunno, it doesn't feel like there's much left to read on P4K that I can't just read elsewhere.

― Evan, Wednesday, 4 May 2016 14:20 (eight years ago) link
there's plenty of dumb stuff we can find on pitchfork, and sometimes some good stuff too, but I'm pretty sure Fantano has zero redeeming qualities

Was there a direct reason it was posted here buried in those 19 minutes? Not thread policing just curious.
― Evan, Wednesday, 4 May 2016 15:24 (eight years ago) link
he does not have taste. what music he deigns to listen appears to be wholly determined by how many times it has been reviewed (favorably) by the tastemaker publications. typical rateyourmusic bro with a youtube account.
― dyl, Wednesday, 4 May 2016 17:35 (eight years ago) link
almost all of his reviews reveal him as an uncareful listener who is deeply concerned with appearing cool
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 4 May 2016 17:46 (eight years ago) link
his "taste" is also a byproduct of him reviewing literally anything. first time i saw a fantano video on youtube he was reviewing a free jazz record i really loved (little women's throat).
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 4 May 2016 17:48 (eight years ago) link
he's evidence that it's possible to listen to a ton of music and put together one's thoughts on all of it and literally never get better at articulating yourself or developing your reasoning

is this how british ppl say this? it sounds like you licked him
― een, Wednesday, 4 May 2016 17:52 (eight years ago) link
I think he mentions in an interview somewhere that he'd needed someone to show him the joys of music prior to the year 2000 (I think). So his take on music is through a lens that doesn't necessarily consider that music made before the 00s is "cool" and not just historically important. I'll look for it if I can find it.

Ok redacting my last post, it was the Nardwuar interview I was thinking of and he said he was in high school when he was called out for only listening to music from the 00s. So not entirely fair on my part.

I can't watch more than a few seconds of any "nerd talks at camera" video but it's fascinating to me how this dude is probably a more influential critical entity in 2016 than Pitchfork, yet ILX isn't nearly as obsessed with him
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 4 May 2016 18:35 (eight years ago) link
Because analyzing a piece of writing is more interesting to a bunch of writers than suffering through some jabbering clown's 20-minute monologue about Beyonce?

from youtube comments apparently his fans (gonna call them "fanstano") think he's fallen off in the past year or so. no idea how they can tell

I don't think festival bookers or whoever have picked up on it yet but I would bet there is a better good-review-to-purchased-album ratio from a Needle Drop than Best New Music at this point unless Anna Meredith and Kevin Morby are secretly topping the charts

also a lot of his reviews are requests by fans who i assume have...already heard the records they're requesting. not sure that amounts to the same ratio
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 4 May 2016 18:49 (eight years ago) link
I agree with Whiney. Y'all are severely underestimating AF's popularity and influence. I don't watch him regularly but I don't find him disagreeable at all, certainly not repulsive. He's pretty fair. I mean, yeah he's a hack, but so what? He knows his place, I feel. The Stephen King of YouTube stars?
