Pitchfork Reviews Reviews

So the question is... is he referring to ILX?

prob yes

hmm well ilx is in the top 10 results for the search "pitchfork reviews reviews" lil wayne

poor kid

that tattoo is awesome btw imo

Yep, I like the tattoo!

We really didn't make fun of the tattoo at all, it turned into an Ott-fest instead.

my response was pretty much smh, dude's gonna regret this tbh

inspired me to get BURR inside my own lip

huge bummer if this is the thread he's referring to

which it probably is

kid is the best damn music writer i have read in ages and i am crazy crazy jealous, like knowing what truman capote was up to his teens & 20s level jealous. just for the record.

^ primarily why i have refrained from saying anything about him up to this point

how old is he?

your age i think

i think he's like 22?

i might've just made that up

he's a little older than that i think

he thinks a lot

truman capote?

not "too much" necessarily but

maybe he should think... less

contenderizer = truman catrolly

reading the part I quoted above was really, really depressing -- like, I don't want my stupid, tossed-off shit on ILX to hurt some super sincere kid

ksh, you should know that super sincere kids that have been abused by stupid, tossed-off shit on ilx are more likely to be offenders themselves

it's not your fault

markers, is def a better man than I

i dunno. he talks about reading michael moore's stupid white men at age 14, and that came out in 2002, so 22 max, probably less than that

Sarge, I'm gonna assume yr kidding

he reminds me of a more earnest burt_stanton sometimes

i was making a child abuse joke

everything i've learned i know from law and order: svu

"show me where the anonymous commenter touched you"

i am not even trolling at all, j0rdan. i just really like reading his writing, in all sincerity. have been meaning to say that since reading lil wayne post, like what, two days ago? but did not, so i will say it now in the wake of grievous internet-based emotional traumas. kid is a good writer.

no

but yes. and he's got nothing in common w burt fucking stanton. level of sincerity, insight, writing chops and real-life sense construction i honestly admire.

like if this "internet project" were just a screen for a novel, it would a good novel and i would want to read it.

its not "burt fucking stanton" its "burt_stanton" and i wasnt comparing their sincerity or whatever i was comparing their anxiety disorders

stand corrected

how old is he?

― max,

your age i think

― "bubbling" pictures for mormon approved j0hn (J0rdan S.)

lol

idk i wasn't zingin or anything \(o_O)/

i could've said my age

i would love to see this kid write a book report on finnegan's wake

he is max years old

writing chops and real-life sense construction

I like reading his stuff too, but no way, man.

I mean, he writes horrible fucking sentences. They are energetic, unconscious paragraphs, which are fun to read (because his enthusiasm and earnestness are so wholly on display) but are still arranged like shit.

WTF

i generally think you have pretty bad judgement but this...

So the question is... is he referring to ILX?

thing is tho the prr dude thinks people are calling him out even when they're not sometimes? (there was a bit on t ewing's tumblr recently where he sent in a qn that was like 'that one time you talked about people who find this thing confusing did you secretly mean me?? tell me, i can take it!') and so maybe it sounds callous or w/e but i don't see any way he could have not been hurt by just being talked about, he seems like a person who's guaranteed to take any negative comment hard. the thing is that his touchiness is part of the same sensitivity that makes him so worth reading, the hyper-attention to nuance, the filter on his thoughts that doesn't quite work as you'd expect, the sincerity and straightforwardness.

also i know this sounds appallingly callous but... that's such a good description of the confused angry/ashamed when you let yrself get upset by meanness on the internet, i am spending rather more time thinking 'oh, evocative' and rather less going 'oh, poor guy'.

idk who is crazier, the dude himself or people who read it on the reg... 'so worth reading'? rly? you've read everything else?

back of a cereal box - 'so worth reading'

'so worth reading'? rly? you've read everything else?

wtf does this even mean?

i thought his blog was going to be awful and embarrassing and instead it was really fascinating - the way he writes is curious and evocative, i really enjoy it, though i don't understand any of the pitchfork stuff.

'so worth reading'? rly? you've read everything else?

wtf does this even mean?

i guess it means life's too effing short to read pitchfork reviews reviews

the thing is that his touchiness is part of the same sensitivity that makes him so worth reading, the hyper-attention to nuance, the filter on his thoughts that doesn't quite work as you'd expect, the sincerity and straightforwardness.

take a polaroid, the internet now resets itself every 15 mins.
