pitchfork is dumb (#34985859340293849494 in a series.)

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.

^ great post

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.

markers 2.0_o

he hasn't even had an LBZC to haze him

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

whoa I wouldn't say I was ever a bully

you fucking retard dorkbrain

NBD!!

haha not you lj, you were a bon vivant/gadfly hybrid

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

i wish i knew how to make gifs

dogg I have no idea how to make a gif -- I just use http://www.makeagif.com/

Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
Marnie Stern - Marnie Stern
No Age - Everything In Between

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

(markers i was just fucking around i don't really think ur a bully)

:-)

now let's hug it out over some rentals bootlegs

yeah have you guys heard the unreleased solo demos for the first rentals record --they rock!

kidding, rentals SUCK and pfork is DUMB

If yr down with P, then yr down with me

if not, DIE.

u down with ksh mark 3
hey u know me

i have always pronounced it "kush" fyi

for the record: i'm down w/ all pronunciations of ksh, but the canonical one is kay-ess-aych

i've always pronounced it like "kish" as in kish kash

i pronounce it ke$ha

actually i don't

it turns out that the actual pertinent weezer criticism is pitchfork news routinely falling head over heels like weezer just dropped the Big Bear cover or some shit now that rivers is using "wacky" and "random" art for their albums

well the gangsta yankee hotel foxtrot finally arrived

And here I thought it would never happen since Brent Dicrescenzo doesn't write for them anymore.

So I guess this is the album of the year as far as Pitchfork is concerned...

I like how Pitchfork's redesign has made it really easy to photoshop fake scores.

haven't heard the new album yet, so i'll pretend the 10.0 is retroactively making amends for whatever too-low rating pfork gave to 808s and heartbreak

hahahaha this greatly improves a monday where i had to get to work early, feel like shit, and haven't had time to eat/drink anything other than terrible black coffee

Takes a genius to come up with the idea of sampling Mike Oldfield.

...and you will know us by the Trail of Backlash
