lol, i remember at one point i was waiting tables and an issue of a national magazine with a paragraph about my ~~bL0g~~ came out and i went to pick it up a the newsstand on my break and when I came back I showed it to the floor manager and he said "oh so are you gonna quit your day job now?" I made lousy bank that night too

I've said this in the artists you have tried to get into but can't thread, but I just don't really get the Taylor Swift thing at all. All of her music seems eminently mediocre, and listening to "cardigan" just now hasn't really changed my opinion on that.
Like yeah, it's basically the same as an 8.0, but that anyone with ears could possibly think this record by Ambrose Akinmusire is less good that Taylor's new sentimental pop diarrea opus is wild to me.

light - if you’re mad at a jazz album getting a sub-8.0 score, don’t take it out on Folklore... it’s totally a 4-star pop album. (I don’t think it makes sense anyway to comparatively rank albums in different genres, but I’ve said that in this thread already.)

As I've noted on here before, pretty much every jazz album reviewed on Pitchfork gets a score of between 7.0 and 8.0. It's the law.

*art
The header on the Sunday review reads "Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible."
But some of the albums *were* in the archives at some point, right? Like today, Philip Sherburne reviewed Smog's Knock Knock, which was originally reviewed by Samir Khan.
So was Khan's review scrubbed at some point in the past, or did Sherburne's review replace it? I know that the site has gotten rid of all reviews before 1999, but the Smog record came out in January 1999. Other reviews from that month are still online.

Though probably quite insane, Callahan possesses three very important attributes: an unmistakable voice, a perplexing gift for the language of story, and the ability to make a simple song sound like a universe with impeccable taste in arrangements. He's a true slave of the song, and whatever he may lack in production technique is excused by something most musicians would kill their pregnant cat for: soul.
Why was quality work like this scrubbed i wonder
