Pitchfork's Chris Ott takes No Prisoners

even with that omission, I've only spent about a second on interpreting Ott today so I feel like I'm coming out ahead of others on this thread

sigh, otm

at least we got some cleese

sorry everyone

*sulks in the corber*

This mentality permeates Beats Music, a re-badged relaunch of MOG Music, which Beats purchased for $14 million in 2012.

wasn't MOG what Insider1 became? If so, I think technically Beats owns some stuff I wrote for Insider1 when it was a zero-ads for-love-only operation. Please send my billion dollars c/o Aerosmith

send u some bennies

lower back surgery asap plz

I thought Beats was just something Dre called his line of headphones, had no idea it was anything else, much less anything else worth money

i mean beats by dre is worth money.

those headphones are a key cultural artifact of this decade.

i never heard of the other thing either. i listen to all my music on c80s and youtube and also if i want to hear something that's not on youtube i'll just sing it to myself

its fun because then you can make up words

did Ott apply to make playlists for beats and get rejected? Half the ones it's recommended to me lately we're create by h4rvell

beats by j

Maybe in seconds spent thinking you win, DJP, but in brevity of posting I believe I have the upper hand.

so wait, does he like kyary pamyu pamyu or not?

wow

Happy Independence Day, fuckers.

I'm eagerly looking forward to TS: Chris Ott vs. Anthony Fantano

Lots of people say they don't read Pitchfork. They do.

busted

that's on some 'i can't believe you've never seen the wire' shit.

"I never go to the P4K main page" is the new "I don't even own a TV"

otm

best new music more like best new bullshit

I know that "tl;dr" is annoying these days but you guys would make an exception if I used it for this, right

Lots of people say they don't read Chris Ott's Needle Drop rant. They do.

this thing is like a year old, why

tbh i hadn't even heard of No Fanta until like a few months ago so i'm guessing this thing just pops back up as he becomes more well known

The Internet is real. Break the cycle.

Surprised that nobody has a summarisation startup called tldr.com

"Any freelancers reading this are probably drooling right now, and they should be."

...unless they're female, in which case doing a youtube vlog with your face and voice and home decor attached is more likely to result in death threats and/or rape threats and/or stalking threats and/or actual stalking?

I appreciate how Ott uses examples from everyday life to ground his high-flying cultural criticism in terms we can all understand.

"Fantano went to SCSU and is originally from Prospect, which is sort of the Connecticut equivalent of being from Farmingdale and watching fuckheads from Oyster Bay cut through your town in color-coordinated 458s whenever the LIE goes harsh realm."

(which isn't hypothetical at all. I follow a couple popular youtube partners -- no idea how much money they actually make, but they're close to the upper limit of success in their niche -- and several have said they are reluctant to have female guests because literally every time they've invited a female guest on she has been stalked.)

xp: brio, I had to google almost all of that sentence.

I know what Connecticut and fuckheads are. The rest is lost on me. Does he maybe put all his writing through an online translator into Bulgarian and back into English?

Let me explain it for you: Being from Town A is the equivalent of being from Town B and watching people drive through your town

makes totally sense

I did get that much as well, sorry for exagerating

Lots of people say they don't read Pitchfork. They do.

actual lol

So is being from Prospect but attending SCSU the equivalent of watching fuckheads from Oyster Bay cut through your town in color-coordinated 458s whenever the LIE goes harsh realm? Or is it simply just being from Prospect that is the equivalent?

xpost I'm joking too--the sentence doesn't actually make sense

it's like 'he attended this school and is originally from this somewhat nearby town, which is like watching people drive through your town to avoid traffic jams.'

when Ott blogs, he creates his own reality. And while we’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — he’ll blog again, creating other new realities, which we can study too, and that’s how things will sort out.

haha

my mom has been denying that she has a problem....i went through her browser history and there it was...the url for the stream of the new hercules and love affair ;_;

You read it when someone reblogs or retweets them; you follow “attribution” back-links to understand why every other site on the Internet is shitting out second-stage coverage of Something Pitchfork Did.

The last thing I read on Pitchfork was their update of the Flaming Lips saga...which was shat-out second-stage coverage of Something Rolling Stone Did.

Anthony can probably even afford his own health care plan.

bennies

the Chevy Cruze is actually not a bad car, terrible name but a decent ride tbh

omg ums

it is GM's top selling vehicle after all
