the weird thing about the obama post is that, from my perspective, it is the PRR guy saying "hi, nabisco, I was IN A VAN IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE"

he doesn't actually mention you or allude to you in that post though, does he?? (just skimmed the post)

"hi, nabisco, I was IN A VAN IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE"

^ could be the blog's new tagline

no of course he doesn't, i'm just saying it's funny. (also i think the post is to some degree fiction/joking)

the fiction and jokes of an insane person

I think there's probably a degree of Aspergers at work with this kid. I mean...

People with Asperger syndrome often display behavior, interests, and activities that are restricted and repetitive and are sometimes abnormally intense or focused. They may stick to inflexible routines, move in stereotyped and repetitive ways, or preoccupy themselves with parts of objects.

Pursuit of specific and narrow areas of interest is one of the most striking features of AS. Individuals with AS may collect volumes of detailed information on a relatively narrow topic such as weather data or star names, without necessarily having genuine understanding of the broader topic.

prediction: this thread will soon get a really interesting revive

i really doubt obama will go to that trouble nabisco

lmao @ this (now redacted):
4. on the new OJ Da Juiceman video for the song entitled “Party Started” i think he says something like “if i don’t get wasted / blame the Jew-man” and then there’s a short clip of an ostensibly jewish man holding a bag of money and grinning. not to be like the rap anti-defamation league but like why does shit like this always get a pass

his posts on rap are usually AWFUL

I hope no one would go to a blog called Pitchfork Reviews Reviews expecting incisive rap criticism

well that can't be what nabisco was thinking of xxp

~~spoiler~~ P4k bought PRR and it's gonna run as a daily feature where the site critiques itself

nabisco prob just means that the pfork reviews dude is gonna post itt

or maybe they hired him, who knows

or maybe PRR is the WAL MART MOONWALKER

PRR dude as p4k official ombudsman would be funny sorta

Pitchfork - the death of music?

"Music blogger says he drove van in Obama's motorcade and met the president"

In an e-mail, a White House official says that "the broad details" of David's account are "basically accurate . . . but the way he characterizes and attributes the comments and details is mostly inaccurate."

lol

WaPost is so bizarre.

let's get him on a lie detector to see if he thought it was a bigger deal to meet the president or ryan schreiber

"the way he characterizes and attributes the comments and details is mostly inaccurate."

this whole post is really a fictionalized version of his meeting schreiber imo

Why does that story end with "It was his first time driving a fan." WORST FUCKING END TO AN ARTICLE EVER.

...err, "first time driving a VAN."

you know after me and HRO did such a bang-up job being the music-internet meta-commentary famewhore crew in 2009, it's pretty depressing realizing we're really only footnotes to this guy's NYTimes profile

i'm basically trying to get myself into the mindset of thinking that was a worthwhile thing to a) pitch b) commission and idk, never in a million years would it have occurred to me to do that. is that what being good at pitching entails? i don't think i have that.

in short the existence of that profile appalls me so much that i am genuinely rethinking my life.

and the existence of this thread appalls me even more

Yet you can't resist posting in it, amirite?

And definitely have no beef with the the guy or his site at all, but its really funny to me how "I'm gonna start a blog that REVIEWS PITCHFORK REVIEWS" has been like a hacky running joke among indie people for like a solid ten years. But one dude actually does it and a whirlwind of activity promptly ensues.

It helps that his stream-of-consciousness, not-edited-to-death style is really engaging and interesting to read. More so than a good number of actual Pfork reviewers' stuff, in fact.

"I'm gonna tweet record reviews" sounds like a hacky running joke among indie people too, tbf

cool, but one actually was so thanks for playing

rowr! just sayin

no just... no

what

haha, if i could pick one thing to complain about a 2,000-word pitchfork review, it would probably not be "edited-to-death"

More so than a good number of actual Pfork reviewers' stuff, in fact.

ok this maybe

I'd rather read some guy with oatmeal in his undies ranting about NCIS: LA than watch NCIS: LA but I can't say I'd tip my hat to the guy.

I'm not saying dude's an *incredible* writer, just that he has an engaging, identifiable style. Much like a lot of ILX posters, and better music writers on Pfork and elsewhere. He has his own "voice" -- as painful as it must be to admit.

well, if you put it that way, of course he deserves to be blog famous

As long as this means no one ever talks about Pitchfork on any other thread ever again I'm kind of okay with this thread frankly.

I went back inside and looked through all of the merchandise again. I bought two packs of Supreme-branded Post-It Notes for $2 each. They were selling on eBay for $18 each.

I noticed that the guy working behind the counter was the white kid from Odd Future. I couldn't remember his name. He gave me a curious look. He must have noticed me sitting outside the store for four hours.

He said, "Do you need a bag?"

I said, "No, it's OK. It's just Post-It Notes." I put them into my jacket pocket.

I walked back outside and sat back down on the bench. I lit one.

I texted Camilla, "The guy behind the counter is the white kid from Odd Future. I just bought some Post-Its from him."

I Googled "white kid odd future" and looked through some pictures of him. He changed his hairstyle from blonde to black. Looked cool either way.

Camilla texted back, "Thought he looked familiar."

I walked over to Canter's to use the bathroom. I got a pastrami sandwich on rye bread with mustard and I ate it in a booth by myself. I slipped an Ativan into the sandwich and ate it like when a dog owner makes a dog take its medicine by mixing it in with its food.

I went into the bathroom, walked into a stall, and drank some vodka out of my bag. I took 5 milligrams of Mellow Yellow and 10 milligrams of Propranalol.

I walked back to Supreme and sat outside again. The sun was bright. I bought a pair of sunglasses from the white kid in Odd Future.

who the hell takes ativan via sandwich

Imagine a whole book of this shit.

hoping for a followup about fucking on every casper mattress

This guy is like a real life carles without wit or self awareness

what the fuck is Supreme

the book is soothingly narrated in the flat-affect preferred by contemporary alt-lit.

the book is really fucking funny. i haven't read any of the press on it nor do i know who david shapiro is but it's really fun and stupid

Really enjoyed Supremacist (much funnier than Tao Lin)

that looks like a way less charming and creative version of high maintainence

is there nothing white men can't do?

this guy really failed upwards in tremendous fashion

D-40 otm. i guess a stage play with dude's face plastered on the promotional materials is the next logical step. Then after it gets middlling-to-bad reviews and no one sees it, i don't know, a comic book maybe

the presidency

yesterday
all my pitchfork seem so far awai
