i am sure it has been said a zillion times before, but a small thing that makes me irrationally angry about Pitchfork, is the fact that Ochs' new album, gets a score of 8.5, but apparently doesn't fall into the 'Best New Music' category. (whilst xx's new one > 8.4 did)
why? and more importantly, if you're going to get this ridic about grades (8.4, 8.5, which in all its specificity signals some kind of weird objectivity),, then shouldn't those mean something in the bigger picture of what is good music (aka Best New Music).
o well

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. It's not being reissued either, it's the sunday classic review. I think they just put a protest singer on there because they're mad at Trump?
― Frederik B, Sunday, 22 January 2017 20:39 (seven years ago) link
I mean, I'm sorry if I seem snarky :) It is kinda dumb and confusing that they don't clearly mark their classic reviews.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 22 January 2017 20:40 (seven years ago) link
:-) true dat.
(obviously i went out and found 2 best new reissues with 8.3's)
let's just say, it would also be nice if one could filter Pitchfork reviews by scores, preferably by decimal. wink wink.
― Ludo, Sunday, 22 January 2017 20:44 (seven years ago) link
By the way, they don't give BNM to anything that goes over a certain score. It's more about whether that album also has strong crossover appeal as well.

Killer Mike Says It’s OK to “Fuck Up” Richard Spencer
Thank goodness. All week I've been feeling privately conflicted about me and my Facebook peers publicly cheering for this dumbass getting punched, wondering all along, in the back of my mind, if "Killer Mike" would approve

why the air quotes? p sure Killer Mike has been way more involved in activism than most of us on this forum.

In the Colin Newman feature today, he uses the word "bonkers" twice.
I'd like to think that whoever from pfork was interviewing him proposed the use of the word. Like he was struggling to convey how intense and crazy something was to him and the interviewer was like, "Would you say it was. . . bonkers?"

It’s not the worst choice of product, given the beer’s ties to the region. But as much as Rolling Rock is Pennsylvanian, so is Yuengling, and probably more so in the rural areas at that time. Yuengling gets more (and better) ratings than Rolling Rock on ratings app Untappd, but both beers get a home state boost. Yuengling gets 50% more ratings in Pennsylvania than the national average, and Rolling Rock enjoys 25% more checkins than usual. And if you’re really going to get micro-regional about it, the movie might have been in Iron City territory.
unbelievable how Michael Cimino slept on the uptappd ratings for these beers.

No matter how many fails they have with these side projects, they just keep going don't they? The pitch for this one seems particularly poor. "Will use beer as the lens with which it approaches all elements of beer culture."

As the American conception of beer evolves, so do we, its drinkers and critics.
October aims to capture the spirit, ambition, and wort-soaked labor of the gambrinus pursuit — the making and drinking of the good life. Through essays, travels, events, and an objective look at what makes beer so damn good, our hope is that you’ll find resonance here, something of unusual quaffability, as part of the drinking class.
Led by Condé Nast, Pitchfork, Good Beer Hunting, and BeerGraphs, with support from ZX Ventures, we’re bringing together a group of people with expertise in publishing, culture, and of course, beer. Our goal is to tell stories at the intersections where beer becomes part of a bigger picture, as it does in both past and present. So while we’ll be ambitious in our view of the future, forgive us for being a bit nostalgic at times too.
That feeling is baked right into our name. A few months ago, just as we started replacing the sweaters in storage with beach towels, the vision of this new venture started to unfold. A small team worked through the summer to prepare for launch, perfectly timed with that time of year when beer starts to pair especially well with seasonal smells, temperatures, and experiences. Every fall invites a sense of self-reflection of the year behind, and a look at the year ahead. That’s as true for life as it is for beer — and that became October.

Back in Reno, there was a somewhat well known hipster about town who worked at one of the city's most popular microbreweries. Long story short: he was really into this whole thing of music and craft beer pairing. He even wrote a blog about it. This was at least five years ago, so I guess the dude was an innovator of sorts.
