what a klon

I mean, also, the Line 6 is also important in a different way because people are running more things besides guitars through it.

I know nothing about gear, but when this DL4 article was originally published, I emailed it to my amateur gtr buddy. He said – “I have one, but I'm terrible at looping. It's a good delay with something for everyone.”

Klon conversation has gone off a cliff
― flappy bird, Monday, 2 April 2018 04:45 (six years ago) link
it's not an effect
Incorrect.
Yeah, nobody had ran anything except guitars through tape loops and delays at any point in the history of recorded music, ever, before the Line 6 DL4.

Boss RC-20 was just as if not more popular than the DL4.

So, is Kacey Musgraves the first Country artist to have an album get Best New Music?

hey it could have been a long piece on that avalanches record...
They're so obsessed w/the '90s. The idea of that recent "Top 200 [or whatever] of 1998" -- maybe the decade's worst year for music -- had me lol'ing.

are they sure it isn't the most goth album of the 90s?

I'm offended "boc" is being used for some sleepytime computer twiddlers rather than for Rock Gods
― President Keyes, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:08 (six years ago) link
decent record but i never thought of it as psychedelic when i could go to Spiritualized or Beck or the Flaming Lips or Cornelius. tbh i find that album a bit monotone and dull.

p sure that's more reflective of a need for content + the fact that 20th anniversary pieces are ubiquitous than any obsession w the 90s
― lowercase (eric), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:20 (six years ago) link
Geogaddi was better but this feels weird to get worked up over. The BoC debut is definitely a milestone release for its genre, and it’s not like Pitchfork is new to the game of somewhat overstating the importance of important records.Maybe their new, more naked Content Aggregation approach just makes it grate more, idk

xxpostI guess, but (a) there are lots of current things the content could be devoted to, and (a) I don't recall the clip of 20th-anniversary pieces being so relentless in past decades, such as in music magazines etc. (though of course it's always been a thing). I know the '90s are big right now...
― absorbed carol channing's powers & psyche (morrisp), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:27 (six years ago) link
(I'm also not a publisher of any website, so who am I to quibble with how they get needed page views... I guess it's just funny to see the '90s repped so hard at the moment.)
― absorbed carol channing's powers & psyche (morrisp), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:28 (six years ago) link
it's not funny, it's very predictable, this happens every decade
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:29 (six years ago) link
the 90s have been big for years now.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:32 (six years ago) link
There are possibly 400 better psychedelic albums from the 90s than MHTRTC, and it is certainly not a bad album
― imago, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:33 (six years ago) link
also the late 90s was p4k's early years. It's like the way Rolling Stone celebrated every 20th anniversary of 60s this & that back in the 80s.
― President Keyes, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:36 (six years ago) link
when i think of pitchfork i think of 90s indie.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:37 (six years ago) link
Yeah - and my point was that I don't recall "Best Albums of 1988" being done in 2008, etc. (I know they've done "Best of" lists for the '80s as a whole, and every other decade). The '90s are obv. in their wheelhouse, and I guess also what ppl want to read about right now.
― absorbed carol channing's powers & psyche (morrisp), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:40 (six years ago) link
Also, I read RS in the '80s, I don't recall features like "Why 'Surrealistic Pillow' Remains a '60s Landmark" or whatever. Obv. there was a big Boomer market for '60s nostalgia at that time. But Pfork seems particularly backward-looking.

yeah rolling stone is as backward-looking as it gets, tho it mainly manifests in glowing reviews for late-period springsteen and u2 albums these days.
― stormzy daniels (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:55 (six years ago) link
RS and every other mainstream music mag has done special Beatles issues every decade!
― absorbed carol channing's powers & psyche (morrisp), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:55 (six years ago) link
(RS may be more backward-looking now, I have no idea; but in the '80s I mainly remember reading about current acts, not big features devoted to 20-yr-old albums)
― absorbed carol channing's powers & psyche (morrisp), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:56 (six years ago) link
(I'm also totally willing to concede you all are correct, and I'm just more focused on / slightly bummed by the '90s nostalgia for personal reasons.)
― absorbed carol channing's powers & psyche (morrisp), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:57 (six years ago) link
the 80s and 90s don't seem to want to go away. but i guess its only fair because the 60s are seemingly forever. me, i'm stuck in the 70s.

damn wait til we get to 2021 and we get dozens of thoughtful retrospectives on "Is This It." Released in the heart of the final summer before 9/11, The Strokes' scene-shattering classic debut is being reissued in a double CD special edition as well as a four-LP box set complete with outtakes and b-sides. and so on...
― omar little, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 19:07 (six years ago) link
Probably already on the schedule.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 19:07 (six years ago) link
Surprised that reissue hasn't happened already.
― absorbed carol channing's powers & psyche (morrisp), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 19:10 (six years ago) link
they could just lift the beginning and end from their interpol 10th anniversary review and change the dates
In retrospect, 2001 may have been the very year that we stopped talking about how music sounds, and started talking about what other music it sounds like. "The Strokes sound like the Velvet Underground" was one of the first critical observations to turn into a full-fledged meme.
― lowercase (eric), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 19:18 (six years ago) link
speaking of that i was at Amoeba yesterday afternoon and Julian Casablancas was wandering around being filmed, probably for a "What's In Your Bag?" segment. i passed by him twice and didn't recognize him at first. he's still holding onto that dirtbag style 100%.
― omar little, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 19:20 (six years ago) link
The overwhelming majority of p4k’s content is about contemporary music. While RS may not have published a bunch of “hey this album turned 20 today” articles, they did spend the late 80s putting Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, George Harrison, Grateful Dead etc on their cover and publishing Best of lists mostly full of 60s albums.
― President Keyes, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 19:23 (six years ago) link
Pitchfork's unofficial canon is always being added to, it takes a lot for RS to add an artist to theirs. It's not every year that you get a Foo Fighters.
― omar little, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 19:24 (six years ago) link
Is This Is is great. also a better psychedelic record than the BOC one
― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 19:31 (six years ago) link
xpostI only remember the covers w/Springsteen, Axl, R.E.M. (etc.), but sounds like you know your stuff. (The Dead were still an active band in the late ’80s, of course.) I have an old issue w/Brian Wilson on the cover, but he was releasing an album at the time.
