Pitchfork's Chris Ott takes No Prisoners

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?

~think abt it~

and is he really dissing whiney on twitter? now he's really gone too far. that's our job!

okay, i weighed in on this subject:

this was Brent D.

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.

The Mack Dad'll make you TAKE! NAZI MONEY!

never heard of this guy, but at least in the old days ppl who soiled themselves in public like this put out good records

Insane Crit Posse

was Brent D also an ilxor for a short while? my memory is so fuzzy on this stuff, thankfully.

Gathering of the Beefalos

Brent D himself posts way upthread.

Chris Ott's music:

https://play.spotify.com/artist/595bn4OFL0PEUkfW6ITeQq?play=true&utm_source=open.spotify.com&utm_medium=open

I've never listened to it.

that shows impressive restraint for someone who posts the link

I listened to the first track, which was basically like having a mosquito buzz my ear for two minutes

really? hmm, maybe he should start a band with whiney.

i don't think ott got fired from PF but if he did it was suicide by cop

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.

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

while i agree, i think it would be fair to call ott a "frustrated musician" as he's a musician and clearly frustrated

I'm not talking about commercial prospects. I listened to his music, and it fails. As music.

EPIC OTT FAIL

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.

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"

oh yeah he seems like a total fucking dick no question

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 think it's good when music writers try to play some music or at least dick around with instruments

I'd go so far as to insist on it

i didn't know or had forgotten was this dude was like before this incident, so i read the beginning of this here thread, and...

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

wait, Ott plays drums?? okay, its all coming together now. The Whiney Otters double drum attack will not be denied.

fuck are you dragging me into this for

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?

i'll give you one guess
