at the wolf eyes show last night, i walked over to the bar right outside the stage, and noticed that the bartender was reading an article about the nick debacle in the new york post!

you know, the first time i read this thread i thought it said "nick sylvester = makes supper", and i was all set for a photo montage of a hipster microwaving ramen noodles.

And if Nick spilled his ramen, he could've made a flash animation of him using bounty = the quicker picker-upper.

x-post Here's where I once again relate the story of interviewing John Lydon and having him hang up on me after about a minute and a half when I asked about his (to my mind, timely) old Afrika Bambaataa collaboration rather than the latest Sex Pistols reunion. Maybe he wasn't in the mood to be cornered/challenged that day?

are you guys trotting out the old Lydon chestnuts in a bid to be the next writers of Riff Raff?

sadly, there is no amount of paper towels that could clear up this kind of mess.

Dear Pitchfork:

When are you going to post a news story about this whole thing, explaining why Nick is no longer on your masthead? Or will he simply never be spoken of again, as though he never was a key member of your staff?

"What's up with you and Nick S man?/Y'all okay man?"

The Gawker coverage of this has gone way beyond neccesary. They need to move on.

I have not read this thread, as I really do enjoy my free time, but someone directed me to this. Some quick points:

-Nick is a really great person (in person), and this is what's most important.

-My "case" is in NO WAY similar to Nick's. For one, and most importantly, I did not make anything up. I made a typo when typing a year (1999) at 3am, which my "editor" at Pitchfork did not pick up.

-In fact, my editor of the Radiohead story referenced in that PFM piece, JC at Stop Smiling, completely backs up my story as reflected in the Beastie Boys review. Email him if you actually give a shit.

-Also, it was a RECORD REVIEW, not front page journalism.

-Finally, Ryan has no spine whatsoever, and posted that retracted under bluffed legal pressure. Notice how I didn't write it? I was willing to call Steve Martin's bluff. Ryan was protecting his baby, and he no lawyer/legal experience and was not.

- PS, Steve Martin is actually an asshole. He wrote Chunklet in anger over not making their asshole list. He loves it when you call him that. Try it sometime.

Anyway, enjoy your board.

oh shit dude, i thought yr. article was satire.

now it's not funny anymore.

or it's funny in a whole difft way.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Monday, 6 March 2006 23:40 (twenty years ago)

does the 'r' stand for robot?

― W i l l (common_person), Monday, 6 March 2006 23:45 (twenty years ago)

whether or not it was satire, the beasties review was funny in the same way.

― Zwan (miccio), Monday, 6 March 2006 23:48 (twenty years ago)

no. now it's funny because it wasn't!

if i never thought it wasn't true then i probably would never have found it funny.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Monday, 6 March 2006 23:49 (twenty years ago)

it's funny because i changed my mind, DO YOU SEE.

I have not read this thread, as I really do enjoy my free time, but someone directed me to this. Some quick points:

OK, shoot.

-Nick is a really great person (in person), and this is what's most important.

That's really cool. I'm glad that being a good person doesn't mean you're exempt from rules.

-My "case" is in NO WAY similar to Nick's. For one, and most importantly, I did not make anything up. I made a typo when typing a year (1999) at 3am, which my "editor" at Pitchfork did not pick up.

Yeah, we figured. Are you one of those cats who writes at wierd hours too? Fuck it's tough being an artist.

-In fact, my editor of the Radiohead story referenced in that PFM piece, JC at Stop Smiling, completely backs up my story as reflected in the Beastie Boys review. Email him if you actually give a shit.

We don't, but thanks for offering that.

-Also, it was a RECORD REVIEW, not front page journalism.

I have this tiny razor I use to split hairs. But we all appreciate that you don't consider yourself a journalist, because we don't either.

Yes, it's Ryan who sold out.

- PS, Steve Martin is actually an asshole. He wrote Chunklet in anger over not making their asshole list. He loves it when you call him that. Try it sometime.

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING.

Anyway, enjoy your board.

I was basically laughing at the idea of somebody writing it. It's verity doesn't alter that.

I don't know Lookner at all, and I don't know if the article portrayed him in a negative light or not. However that letter to the editor sure makes him look like a whiney bitch, especially if he does know Sylvester as the letter claims.

(Please note that I am not disputing that it is perfectly within his right to be a whiney bitch.)

Gawker's just as much a punk as anyone in this situation. Gawker is a fan of that really hot tiny chick who can't write for shit but who got notoriety by being in those naked photos from Bronques aka BLACK PAPA SMURFs site. Nothing but a hoser party all around it seems.
