auto-complete for Best New Artist should draw from artists created in our database since Nov. 2012 (which won't be perfect since some older artists were created since then).

not just spit, but "hooker spit," which should give you a window into the tension, claustrophobia, and foulness that infect Morelli's music.

The Lucksmiths -- Cartography for Beginners: A Best of the Lucksmiths
...wry lyrics about various shades of emotional ache, featuring the kind of wordplay that tends to come from people who can both define "zeugma" and provide an example
Yes! Spot on. I love it.
("I can't see the florist for the flowers/ And I can't see the point in hanging 'round.")
What? No, terrible example. You've ruined it. Totally ruined. Now this is some motherfucking zeugma:
Though you kept me guessing and your distanceWere it not for my persistenceWe would never have been loversYou kept your distance and me guessingFinally acquiescing only after I’d discoveredYou kept the things I sent youThe lengths I went to

i don't really get shitting on the anticipated albums feature--this isn't 10 years ago when everyone was on a label that had a nice release schedule for us to read.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 18 January 2014 00:13 (ten years ago) link
like, in a world where one of the five biggest artists on the planet released an album completely unannounced, i think it's ok to have some fun speculating.

Outside of a Beats by Dre commercial, there’s not a lot on the record to suggest Kendrick Lamar will embark on the unenviable task of topping Pitchfork's favorite album of 2012, good kid, m.A.A.d. City. But, you do get the sense that Lamar’s competitive nature will get the best of him in 2014, as well as a sense of opportunity—speculation suggests that the rapper's label TDE will release as many as six albums this year, so prime yourselves for the takeover.
― alpine static, Saturday, 18 January 2014 00:21 (ten years ago) link
just watched that commercial for the first time and it made me worried for Kendrick's future

Way to stay ahead of the curve. Next, can we get a primer on other obscure musicians like Miles Davis?

Wait--so you both think Pitchfork's 'key demo' really needs another (hideously written) John Fahey primer at this point?
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Tuesday, 28 January 2014 16:20 (ten years ago) link
Serious question. Maybe I'm missing something. It doesn't help that Jas0n He!!er is, imo, consistently the weakest Pfork writer by some stretch.
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Tuesday, 28 January 2014 16:26 (ten years ago) link
you act as though we're running out of college kids who want to get into shit like john fahey.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 28 January 2014 16:29 (ten years ago) link
i don't know, i'm sure that there are plenty of people in the key demo who have no idea who Fahey is. he might not seem obscure to a certain kind of music fan, but he's plenty obscure. i didn't think the write up was that bad, aside from using Sonic Youth and Sufjan in the sub hed and the "steampunk" reference.xp

Compare this piece today with M1ke Powell's piece on new age earlier this week. P0well's piece, which sheds light on a subject that actually didn't have a star-studded documentary released about it last year, was informative, well-written, and managed to shed light on the subject in a way that appealed to both new age newjacks (guilty as charged) and deep diggers (like, who the hell is Enno Valthuys? I don't know, but now I wanna know) alike. This piece on Fahey, otoh, brings absolutely nothing new to the discussion whatsoever.
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Tuesday, 28 January 2014 16:51 (ten years ago) link
Why would you think a Fahey primer on Pitchfork would have anything new for "deep diggers" anyway? Same for anything designated as a primer? Just leave it alone, it's for those who need it.
