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.

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

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

"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."

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

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

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 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.
― Gee, Officer Gukbe (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 30 July 2010 14:15 (thirteen years ago) link
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

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

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.
― da croupier, Friday, 30 July 2010 14:28 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Friday, 30 July 2010 14:30 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

he writes like his age.
― blap...tremendo (deej), Friday, 30 July 2010 15:22 (thirteen years ago) link
his 'voice' is '22 yr old' & i mean that in a 'affected blogger influenced by beat writers' way not a 'carson mccullers' way
― blap...tremendo (deej), Friday, 30 July 2010 15:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Agreed. But, doesn't mean he's not a somewhat engaging writer.

downgraded to 'somewhat engaging' ill take it i guess
― blap...tremendo (deej), Friday, 30 July 2010 15:29 (thirteen years ago) link
the problem i have w it is him putting himself at the center of this run-on-y things
like i keep getting the vibe that were supposed to appreciate his coming of age story or something its v offputting

right now i am in the handicapped bathroom stall at my office because [it is the most luxurious bathroom stall and] this is the only place where i can write this blog today because a) i have been repeatedly remanded for excessive blackberry use and b) i have so much work to do today and i am trying my best to not lose my job. whenever someone walks into the bathroom i have to stop typing because i don’t want people to go around the office saying that i was feverishly using my phone while on the toilet. i also feel silly sitting here because i don’t even have to use the bathroom
― markers, Friday, 6 August 2010 18:14 (thirteen years ago) link
imo "writes like his age" shouldn't be an excuse or explanation applied to anyone over, like, 20 -- if you're an adult you should write like an adult, after a certain point precocious naif shit is either an act or just plain sad.
― some dude, Friday, 6 August 2010 18:16 (thirteen years ago) link
although if you meant it like "writes like he was born in 1988 or later" that's probably fair and accurate on a whole other level
