Ha ha ha. I thought that was a funny question to ask. The host of all music considered the npr on-line radio show said no cuz pitchfork writers are great and very enthusiastic about music and people are lucky to have such resources. He mentioned All Music Guide too as a good resource. He didn't say anything about The Wire though. maybe he thinks they are dangerous.

This was on a music segment with neil conan and tom moon and the on-line guy and the editor of guitar world. they played some bossa nova and some vibes jazz and bobby bare, jr.

How could it be dangerous? It's not like they ever break any news.

Are you now or have you ever been a reader of The Wire?

I wish they had asked him why he thought it might be dangerous. But they didn't.

No, that's a drawing, I think.

This is serious
We could make you delirious
You should have a healthy fear of us
Cause too much of us is dangerous
So dangerous, we so dangerous
My Pitchfork Squad is dangerous
So dangerous, we so dangerous
My whole entire unit is dangerous
