Pitchfork's Chris Ott takes No Prisoners

if i want to hear challenging opinions like that i'll just knock on my downstairs neighbor's door and offer him a beer

i don't understand him but i also don't understand why anyone is defending any of this shit. if you want to make your point, make YOUR fucking point instead of sticking it in the mouth of someone 1. completely unable to make it for himself 2. completely unable to make it without being a shitty human being 3. entitled enough to expect everyone to understand his tantrums without you clarifying

it reminds me of the cottage industry of kanyesplaining that's been going on the last few months

lol i haven't read a thing on kanye this year but that's been going on foreeeeeever hasn't it. i can at least understand the ever-popular "no look kanye is a magical unicorn" undercurrent, i have no idea what the impetus is for defending ott rather than just stating an opinion relevant to the subject ("subject") without trying to force a cosmic connection with The Artist Himself

it's funny how this thread has existed for 10 years now, not because of Ott's antics that have been going on for at least that long, but because he dared to insult The Band Alex In NYC Really Likes That's Not Killing Joke.

the wonder stuff?

Is the article this was initially responding to online anywhere still?
The original link 404ed.
I mean I can just about imagine what it's like but would'nt mind a quick peruse.
I'm still intrigued by what the scale of popularity of PF is since I have no way of guaging it? Or a norm to compare with. I stumbled on it by googling non-mainstream records I again wouldn't know the popularity of & don't think anybody I know who might be aware of it is exactly mainstream. So its difficult to landmark a horizon for its popularity. What would it compare to?

*up

zachlyon those were some very hard body posts, we could lock thread now I think

the only thing I know about it is that they have a massively circulated memelistphotothing of the albums everyone should listen to, which is more or less exactly what you think it is

can't believe ilx doesn't know what's going on in here, super hilar brah

haha yep

considering how this latest revive started, snarking about the alexa rankings of 4chan seems about as an appropriate way as any for it to end

Roll Credits

I may start a fantasy novel titled The Alexa Rankings of 4chan next year

In a website...

lol whiney if you really think it's /mu/ that boosts 4chan's Alexa rate at anywhere near the level of /b/, then it's you who are an out-of-touch old-ass man my friend

you don't have to be affluent to write about music as a hobby. Not sure where that idea is coming from.

you need a certain amount of free time.

idk most of the people i know who write about music as a hobby are not affluent
