good for the Quietus, should get them a healthy amount of hits

I think it's a reasonably good selection of albums and a reasonably good commentary on them?

The real dean of rock critics
― Fenners' Pen (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 13 January 2021 15:36 (three years ago) link
oh damn sorry fantano's good now
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 13 January 2021 15:44 (three years ago) link
he does not have the taste of someone unfrozen in 2010 i'll hold off clowning him
i also def didn't read the commentary bc i don't believe he's capable of insight, just a character flaw of mine
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 13 January 2021 15:45 (three years ago) link
anyway i'd prefer the baker's dozen feature be reserved to musicians and not given to very bad critics who hate women ymmv
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 13 January 2021 15:47 (three years ago) link
hate women
I missed this part. What did he do?
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 13 January 2021 15:49 (three years ago) link
listen i'm just making a judgment based on having observed his criticism over a period of ten years, he hasn't "done" anything
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 13 January 2021 15:50 (three years ago) link
anyway whatever, good for the quietus, totally meaningless thing to get worked up over
if you feel the need to "minority opinion, but" about lcd soundsystem albums in 2021 to your sizable fanbase i feel like you should at least mention the juan maclean

Hates women, music, life

I was hoping to hate this, liking it would have been my second choice, disappointing that I feel neither.

Is ILM the internet's foremost Fantano hate club?
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 13 January 2021 16:00 (three years ago) link
RYM is both his hateclub and his fanclub
― imago, Wednesday, 13 January 2021 16:02 (three years ago) link
Fantano Discourse has I think receded very slightly at least
if i disentangle myself from the magnetic field of fantano hate i am constantly exuding i can look at this list of records and think "yeah some of these choices are pretty sick" but in the universe where i have actually observed his criticism it is impossible for me to think that
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 13 January 2021 16:02 (three years ago) link
pretty good list of albums, do not read the blurbs. unless you want to learn that "daft punk is playing at my house" is "almost satirical in a way"
― boz conspiracy by toby hus (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 13 January 2021 16:09 (three years ago) link
These Quietus lists seem to have four approaches* Genuine list of their favourite records* List of records designed to present the person in a certain light* As above but with added trolling* A curated list to introduce some records they think need more exposureThis list is the second option, the most boring one, was hoping he would at least go for option three.

I mean
Fantano hates me personally, arbitrarily. I don't have any feelings toward him, but as they say, "the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference". That said, I read his Quietus entries this morning and felt, for the first time ever, an twinge of affinity for both his choices and an appreciation for the things he was expressing, that's all! The twinge has passed. I still don't care about him

why doesn’t this guy ever push his fucking glasses up
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Wednesday, 13 January 2021 17:50 (three years ago) link
I don't know his choices because I refuse to click through but even if I like some of them they're bad choices because they're his
it's good to have occasional reminders of how conditional the current vague social justice orientation of alt music media really is. this is just good business for them, much like it was good business for this guy to have certain associations which it's now good business for him to deny

social justice commitments are fleeting, but apparently click-maxing paginated galleries will always be with us :(

I don't like Fantano's videos but I thought the Quietus article was good. I enjoyed his description of the guitar sound on Plastic Surgery Disasters .

I only know him as a meme but this popped up - I assume it's not his best work or anything but... he doesn't say really anything? Point to their influences and "they've got some good hooks here."

I've basically only heard of this guy on here... but Activision is suing him for declaratory judgment, b/c he apparently (a) made a pizza-themed TikTok video where he says "It's enough slices!"; (b) made that audio available for use as a sort of meme on TikTok (where is has since been used in "hundreds of thousands" of other videos); and (c) is now threatening to sue Activision for using it in a Crash Bandicoot–themed video, if they don't pay him $$$. Activision says they relied on TikTok's representation that the audio was freely available for commercial use, and that they also agreed to remove the video when he complained.

Was going to express an opinion on Fantano but cannot be bothered.instead, let's share some non-shitty music "reaction" channels.JustJP - https://youtube.com/@JustJPInto The Music - https://youtube.com/@intothemusic908The Charismatic Voice - https://youtube.com/@TheCharismaticVoiceObviously 99% of music reaction channels are completely irredeemable, but these three pick interesting music and have interesting things to say about it, that's the standard I'm looking for, you would think that's not a high bar, but
