pitchfork is dumb (#34985859340293849494 in a series.)

Apropos of nothing, is "Larry Fitzmaurice" the dude's real name? Sounds like an early '80s electro DJ.

it's almost as delicious as "Harry Reasoner"

its a p awesome name i think

So I liked today's Arab Strap reissue review (x2):

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14566-the-week-never-starts-round-here-deluxe-edition-philophobia-deluxe-edition

But, as usual, the originals have been taken off the site.

-and-

http://web.archive.org/web/20010117063400/www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/a/arab-strap/philophobia.shtml

Looks like the first album got a ratings boost, while the second suffered a bit.

so glad you have done your due dillingence and uncovered these important relics of internet past

The Weezer fascination/obsession continues...

5-10-15-20: Titus Andronicus' Patrick Stickles

"Weezer were the rock on which me and all of my buddies built our church."

zzzzzzzzzz

Your single-minded focus on Weezer lately is bordering on the absurd.

a combination of absurd and zzzzzz

Your single-minded focus on Weezer lately is bordering on the absurd.

I assume that by "single-minded focus on Weezer," you mean that I posted in one other Weezer thread earlier this week?

Okay then!

The Weezer fascination/obsession continues

this has pretty much been the last 20 years of indie rock... BETTER POST ABOUT IT

I assume that by "single-minded focus on Weezer," you mean that I posted in one other Weezer thread earlier this week?

Okay then!

Dude, you were all over the Weezer threads last week.

Which would be fine, except for the part where you constantly have to remind us that you hate them.

yeah what a notable event, a 20-something indie rock musician professing a love for weezer

what the hell does this have to do with pitchfork anyway aside from the fact that they ran the interview

i want the old markers back

Some of you already mentioned Coldplay, but surprisingly no one said anything about "Viva la Vida," unless you count Geir's "Every single Coldplay song" vote.

I can't think of many, if any, mainstream rock songs from the past decade that were as well produced as that one.

markers is an apt pupil of the school of meta snark and soon to be class president

i want the old markers back

new markers sacrificed old markers at a salem witch-house burning.

he hasn't even had an LBZC to haze him

the evolution from victim to bully is a time-honored ilx tradition

markers' newfound suffocating cynicism towards indie is whiney minus 15 years & with repetitive jpgs replacing all caps rants

On Salem:

nah, just thought the Fader Fort thing was the most hilarious performance I've seen this year. I did buy their record though, 'cause I'm actually interested in their music. I do think Whiney saying that they're "famous" is funny though
