I got excited for a second for that Menswe@r review though, hoping to see a Ned byline but uh... no.
That's because you needed to look elsewhere, my friend:

Thanks Ned, I had read that one already - was just hoping you had another outlet to share your wisdom with.

One exception is “Truckin’,” the album closer, an easygoing ode to the open highway that became an anthem for Deadheads and for freaks and hippies more generally.
errr that's not at all what that song is about

If you enjoy tortuous, paragraph-long paraphrasing of song lyrics, the new Tigermilk review is for you.

looking at p4k's reviews over the past month or so--very heavy with reissue and retrospective reviews. Release schedule must be light for some reason.

I think I'm paying attention to different music than y'all, because to me it's been a banner year for electronic music and jazz and all kinds of releases, even with the pandemic. Hell, there are tons of great pandemic albums.

i think it’s the opposite, pandemic seems to have made bands that would’ve spent the year touring go back into the studio. like every band has released an album this year?
― flopson, Saturday, 7 November 2020 03:53 (three years ago) link
There is tons of new music; they really shouldn’t be reviewing a Wilco reissue on a Friday.

Yeah, tbqh despite some occasional good writing (often by people who post on here, afaict), P4k seems more and more like Rolling Stone or Spin seemed to me in the early to mid aughts-- often straining for relevancy while simultaneously focusing on big-tent shit that no one who actually cares about music wants to pay attention to.
― healthy cocaine off perfect butts (the table is the table), Saturday, 7 November 2020 14:50 (three years ago) link
but presumably gets clicks
― it bangs for thee (Simon H.), Saturday, 7 November 2020 15:05 (three years ago) link
It points more toward the irrelevancy of P4k to a certain younger demographic than anything. I have plenty of friends with teens, and none of them give a flying fuck about Wilco, and rightly so! But do the more nerdy and strange among them click on the OPN and Arca reviews on P4k? Sure.
I guess I just stopped reading it as much because of what has been pointed out, that so many of the reviews and news focus on shit that doesn't matter to me...aka contemporary guitar driven music, which is overwhelmingly mediocre.
― healthy cocaine off perfect butts (the table is the table), Saturday, 7 November 2020 16:14 (three years ago) link
I'm not exactly capn save a p4k but I don't know that there's a good way to make everyone happy on four reviews a day tbh
― it bangs for thee (Simon H.), Saturday, 7 November 2020 16:16 (three years ago) link
I mean, my idea would be to stop reviewing reissues of albums that suck.
