didn't he get booted after the exchange about the dude from Hello Nasty PR a whiles back?

so seriously, his argument is that Grizzly Bear benefited from the holocaust because they licensed their music to Volkswagen?

is ott reading this thread? he must be. hello, ott

Ott and Weingarten need to form some kind of combustible rockcrit version of Kriss Kross.

Brent D himself posts way upthread.
Chris Ott's music:

I've never listened to it.

that shows impressive restraint for someone who posts the link
― da croupier, Monday, 19 August 2013 17:09 (eleven years ago) link
I listened to the first track, which was basically like having a mosquito buzz my ear for two minutes
― OH MY GOD HE'S OOGLY (DJP), Monday, 19 August 2013 17:12 (eleven years ago) link
really? hmm, maybe he should start a band with whiney.
― scott seward, Monday, 19 August 2013 17:14 (eleven years ago) link
i don't think ott got fired from PF but if he did it was suicide by cop
― J0rdan S., Monday, 19 August 2013 17:14 (eleven years ago) link
Nice to see that Totally is up to his old tricks.
I wonder if Ed Droste ever posted on Pitchfork Smackdown.

So...failed musician and failed writer-about-music? Shit, it's no wonder he's degenerated into basement video-blogging. I'm just surprised he's clothed while on camera.
― 誤訳侮辱, Monday, 19 August 2013 17:16 (eleven years ago) link
the rest of this ott album is pretty cool actually
the first track isn't representative
it's not great but there's some cool stuff going on in parts

though i think it's kinda dumb that everyone who does music as a hobby is automatically called a "failed musician" this just seems like a guy making some weird beats for fun
― usic for 18 magicians (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 19 August 2013 17:19 (eleven years ago) link
while i agree, i think it would be fair to call ott a "frustrated musician" as he's a musician and clearly frustrated
― da croupier, Monday, 19 August 2013 17:21 (eleven years ago) link
I'm not talking about commercial prospects. I listened to his music, and it fails. As music.

EPIC OTT FAIL
― scott seward, Monday, 19 August 2013 17:24 (eleven years ago) link
putting it up on spotify implies that you want it to be more than a hobby though.

we are all failed musician

that's not really true. lots of people puts lots of stuff up everywhere. still hate the ott though.
― scott seward, Monday, 19 August 2013 17:31 (eleven years ago) link
quality of ott's music or grizzly bear's music or size of island's owned by either or number of courses at the meal you ate last week should have no bearing on what is fucked up twitter harassment in the name of "criticism"
― ship who you wanna ship (flamboyant goon tie included), Monday, 19 August 2013 17:31 (eleven years ago) link
oh yeah he seems like a total fucking dick no question
― usic for 18 magicians (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 19 August 2013 17:34 (eleven years ago) link
the problem isn't that he's a failed musician or whatever, it's that he's being a psycho. None of his zings at grizzly dude are more than neo-redneck gibberish
Makes no difference if his band sucks. I think it's good when music writers try to play some music or at least dick around with instruments - if only to realize that making really good music is hard, and give em a bit of humility. One would hope. Doesn't seem to have worked that way for Ott but whatevs

I'd go so far as to insist on it

This is what Ott wants. Ott knows this is how to market a twitter handle.

I don't even understand this:
Me: RT @shallowrewards Who else can I fuck with, this shit is so fucking boring. [An entire life, summed up in 57 characters.]
Ott: @burn_amb boring...and looks like a guitar tech.
Is he saying I look like a guitar tech? Or that he does?
