I like Pitchfork! Yeah It's a great site for discovering new music, and their musical scope mostly coincides with the music I listen to these days. And their reviews aren't as pretentious and incoherent as they used to be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
they're alright, yeah. never hated them like a lot of people seem to do. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

|
I never hated them, and kinda agreed with the numerical ratings they gave, but the reviews were way too thoughest and not enjoyable for me to read. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Their style annoys me. |

they may not have the best reviews but they're sure good at introducing me to new musics. |

i've found great music through them. |

thanks for sharing. |

Some of their review are total pretentious bullshit, but it's a great place to discover new stuff, yes. And it has actually been a while since I've read one of those "1000 words with absolutely no reasonable information"-reviews. Maybe they got sober. |

I don't mind writers that are a bit pretentious, but it's just that the Pitchfork writers are such a bunch of fucking gormless nerds. |

That's one beefcake pitchfork wielder |

You're welcome! I just wanted to oppose all that Pitchfork sucks-hype |
||||||||

|
|
some pitchfork writers actually make some pretty good music, like matmos. |
||||||||

i think dominique leone (pitchfork writer) has done a lot of great writing about Boredoms + related albums and overall interesting music. there are a lot of total dweebs on there though. |

he seems to be their standard reviewer for idm albums, which i dislike. i'd rather read more than one opinion on them. |

I think they serve a purpouse and I use them all the time to keep me up to date on what's going on in the alternative wing of popular music... I find Pitchfork to be somewhere between (the fucking) NME and The Wire... It also reminds me in a way of that glorious MTV show they had back in the 90's: 120 Minutes! Great show, lots of different music, informative and available... So yes, I approve of Pitchfork.. |

I remember 120 Minutes, but I was too young to be into music. The host, Paul King(?), looked like a Star Trek Vulcan |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, Paul King it was! And he was not a Vulcan but a retired pop-star. I thought he was funny as a tv host and definitely the best host for 120 minutes anyway. When he disappeared the whole thing went downhill really.... |
