Pitchfork's Chris Ott takes No Prisoners

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.

Man I gotta say Prince William is owning his pattern-baldness better than anyone in world history. Sexy as hell, respect a fucking killer.

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

this is a hilarious retort considering it's your chosen twitter avatar

I'm not disavowing it or anything; I'm just saying, twitter avatar may not accurately reflect reality of person tweeting.

"fuck are you dragging me into this for"

eh it was just the cranky indie rock writer drummer thing. no offense. i LIKE you. hate the ott.

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?

this is a lot more entertaining if you imagine that there's a loaded handgun on the table in front of him

pointed which way

up to you, my friend

"i just think people are tired of, um, people are tired of reading the same thing in 20 different places. i think they're tired of top ten lists. i feel like we've kinda failed... to do anything with the internet. we're not doing anything that's helping anyone."

"i know. but nobody has to die today, chris. we can all walk out of here, ok?"

"There's more levels of passes at the Pitchfork festival than there are levels of security in the US government! Think about it!"

I couldn't get past the part where he claimed that print mags knew more about their readers than internet advertisers. Is it worth watching more?

Depends how much you like listening to weird angry muttering. I dug it.

so good

would he feel comfortable saying this stuff if his real name was attached to it? (the twitter stuff)

do black helicopters show up at the end?

so sad that ott failed the children of the internet. he only wants to raise them the way he was raised.??????????????????????

man does whiney make six figures? crazy

Whiney G. B.M.F. Weingarten

we're not doing anything that's helping anyone."

this just made me realize that whiney and john roderick in the same room together would make the universe collapse

The SR video series is entertaining. He only seems to _write in half-formed caps lock metaphors these days but in video form the arguments were engaging whether I agreed or not.

there's definitely a mumblecore lester bangs vibe that can be amusing when he's informing rather than seething

if he honestly wanted to spotlight cool random shit rather than bitch about how stupid other writers are those videos would be dope, but the level of transparent resentment is just so high

'they don't care about music -- they just want attention'

tynan delong meets mark david chapman

like many an ilxor, i have no right to call out anybody who decided/accepted that making a life of profesh music crit was for the birds/not for them, but clearly doesn't have better things to do than gawk and snark from the sideline. but making a series of web vids about how wrong, wrong, wrong everybody is while crowing about how you've got a real deal grade a middle class life while gay-baiting the dude from grizzly bear (and @ing other critics to make sure they know you're doing it) is just...yeesh.
