get really weary of this thing where the tenth anniversary of every well reviewed indie rock album ever recorded is somehow a milestone

If you were 18 when all those albums came out they do probably feel like milestones. Plus you're all, can you believe we're 28 now, when did we get so old??! and you want to canonize the stuff from high school.
We all did it, what's wrong with letting the kids do it too?
(granted, I think we waited until the 20 year anniversary)

yeah they made a fake tweet screenshot of him supposedly crowing about her heroin overdose (that, even in the fake, didn't refer to her) and paired it with other damning evidence like how he once saw Pussy Riot play at a festival instead of Lovato

I've been seeing more and more buzz for Ethel Cain lately, so I was reading that profile. Not sure I'm sold on her music yet, but I'm intrigued by the general vibe and aesthetic, though I kept finding myself doubting that "Anhedonia" is her real last name and isn't just another layer to the character she's creating.

she's trans & has had a rocky relationship with her parents so i figured she probably just changed it for real
also, she's depressingly on dr. luke's actual label which feels like more of him trying to launder his reputation "look he's signing trans artists how progressive"

a few obvious highlights aside, not a great lineup overall imo, lots of "popular with p4k" acts that are good-to-fine on record but seem like not that exciting to catch live

Fantastic! Though not sure how her show would translate to a festival stage, tbh. Saw her in 2010 at the Chicago Theatre and it was an absolutely wonderful show.

that's otm, i think, tho it's hard to say how good a lot of these newer acts who haven't played for a crowd this size due to covid will do
xp
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Monday, 17 May 2021 16:25 (three years ago) link
Of the acts on the bill I've actually seen, the best was Hop Along, just because they had a bit of energy and their songs are very singalongable, but I wouldn't describe that show as particularly memorable.
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Monday, 17 May 2021 16:28 (three years ago) link
tbh barely any artists are that good at playing to festival sized crowds, it's pretty much the worst way to see music
unless they are like U2 or beyonce or someone who knows how to handle it
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 17 May 2021 16:39 (three years ago) link
i've seen hop along three times, pretty good each time, but they had by far the most energy when i saw them shortly after the release of painted shut. didn't feel to me like they figured out to summon that spirit when playing the newer songs

i haven't been to a musical festival in forty years
Last time I saw AnCo at P4k they were actually quite good at filling the festival stage. Pitchfork is pretty darn small as far as festivals go. Not everything translates, but more does than you might expect. E.g., Jamila Woods brought the whole church band last time and it was a blast.

DJ and Producer i_o’s Cause of Death Revealed
I can understand families not wanting people to assume suicide based on his age (or maybe to raise awareness about a particular disease/illness), but hiding/teasing the real answer behind a click like it's an album cover is pretty weird. (The answer: "The deadmau5 signee and Grimes collaborator died last year from complications caused by Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.")

"complications caused by Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis" maybe a little wordy for a headline, but I hear you on the tease implied by "Revealed".

First paragraph of this review is ridiculous, calling out Greg Cartwright for once being in a band of alleged "edgelords" who, twenty six years ago had a song with a bad word in its title (a song not written by Greg, by the way). The guy has been releasing records with his own band for two decades. This is the lede? Really?
