pitchfork is dumb (#34985859340293849494 in a series.)

I was talking about how every blurb manages to give you an idea of what the album is like except for the T.I. blurb, which is just a list of names

You missed the part where they also called it "scattershot".

and an "album"

ok who the fuck is andy o'connor

next time they need to make a piece of architecture we can all dance around, because considering the elevating demand for shriveling supplies of attention, "ok" is almost worse than "unlistenable."

@andy_oconnor

Dude staying with us requested we put on Yes. My roommate opted for Goblin instead. Very smart move.

What a peach, this guy

No Yes for you!

Dave Grohl Enlists Members of Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Stevie Nicks, John Fogerty, More for Sound City Band

this headline really could have been written better. "I wonder which member of Stevie Nicks is participating in this?"

Members of Nirvana is actually the name of Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear's new band

it's not a band, it's a puppet show starring their dicks iirc

da croupier enlists members of some dude for shitty jokes

we'll be here all week, we've been doing this for 10 years already anyway

don't hate on me just because you didn't come up with i-i-it

cut em some slack

Huh huh, "members" of John Fogerty ...

Fogerty named his dong ”Stu Cook”

that's really embarrassing

OK, now I'm seeing the context of the piece and its less embarrassing

https://timeoutchicago.com/arts-culture/15975711/toc-staffers%E2%80%99-regrets

now i'm thinking about the context of the piece and its pretty funny

our knowingly silly, arbitrary decimal scale

should be the title of an official PF book

i always wonder whose gonna be the legs-mcneil-in-a-keffiyeh whose gonna take the bullet and write the oral history

“I predicted the success of a failed art installation.”

“I predicted the success of a failed art installation.”

DAMN XP

i kind of like that story

that felt less like 'critic makes judgment, changes their mind' than 'journalist interviews artist and excitedly promotes their upcoming work, which ends up not fulfilling potential,' which is a bit different than the theme they were going for

This isn't dumb, i think it's really awesome.

for real, wish they'd let me make some gifs

although i would probably give people seizures on accident

Fork Fest 2013 headliners are insaaaaane!

R. Kelly, Bjork, and Belle & Sebastian.

R. Kelly!

why is belle and sebastian headlining in 2013 is my immediate reaction

Because it is 2013 and the fest couldn't get them in years past, closer to their popular peak?

I know where I'll be this summer, what a great set of headliners after a crap list in 2012.

i could see belle & sebastian being a big deal for kids that were too young to see them at the height of their career

that is profoundly depressing

Can't wait for the big collab from the headliners, "Like Dylan Trapped In The Closet (It's Oh So Quiet)."

Bjork singing "Trapped in the Closet" may be the only context in which I would be entertained by "Trapped in the Closet"

Bjork singing "Trapped in the Closet" may be the only context in which I would be entertained by "Trapped in the Closet" Bjork

bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce bouce

belle & sebastian is a pretty good legacy act

I get that logically, I just super hate them

I thought everyone in Belle & Sebastian died

maybe that was just a dream

you're thinking of their infamous stand-up set

gonna make big bucks by smuggling in no-doz and jolt and selling them right before the B&S set

(because they are a snooze)

boy with the arab strap had some jawns IMO

OTM, but it's weird that you're using the Swedish spelling

well played

damn

wtf jordan defending belle and sebastian
