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
― usic for 18 magicians (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 19 August 2013 17:19 (ten 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 (ten years ago) link
I'm not talking about commercial prospects. I listened to his music, and it fails. As music.

putting it up on spotify implies that you want it to be more than a hobby though.

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
― usic for 18 magicians (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 19 August 2013 17:34 (ten 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 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 don't really want to engage with this because it's the epitome of NAGL but did he spend last night proclaiming his heterosexuality as a setup for today's swooning over Prince William?
