Pitchfork's Chris Ott takes No Prisoners

dude is the REAL pitchfork reviews reviews

How is getting hit by a car or your mom getting cancer a failure?

He's referring to this article, I believe: http://noisey.vice.com/blog/andrew-rinehart-you-cant-break-my-heart-pretty-people-make-graves-music-video-premiere

But let's be honest. There's a thin line between many ILX users and @shallowrewards dude

its really not that thin

it's a thin line between lol and hate

what a failure. a real shoegaze man would've stood there as the car blew into pieces around him Rabbit In Your Headlights-style.

two-month-old zings

between his ambitious writing projects and twitter celebrity status, the man is just playing catch up

all the from the comfort of a Duxbury IT cubicle. sometimes there is a man...

wonder if this dude really gets how intense it is to one's life & art when a person's mother gets cancer

wott an asshole

lmao what a maroon

Will they look back with appreciation and say, "Thank God for that Ott guy in 2014 who headed off that loss of freedom, who kept us now 100 years later free, who kept our genre from selling out"?

And if we failed, they probably won't get to read the tweets at all because they spoke of indie rock, and they won't be allowed to talk of that or read of it.

i mean, the narrative that the pitchfork piece is putting out is basically "dude was an aspiring money-hungry L.A. session dude who failed, and now, two years later, wants to be indie rock I guess"

Like idgaf about this guy, but can you blame ott for not seeing this as the sympathetic story of rags-to-RSSches it's supposed to be, idk?

RSSches

smh

i dunno, what kind of background does he need to be a real indie-rocker?

probably grad school

NPR internship

one floor tom

he would've tried to cover his tracks if he wanted to be a REAL INDIE ROCKER. the dude is putting himself out there. that doesn't warrant comments about his dead mom as sort of ponzi scheme for success

--goole

man he really is that fucking naive that he's this truth warrior

*thinking that he's

Like I'm sure whoever that interview is with is totally crappy but like I dunno dude's mom died of cancer so lay off

--you say tomato/i say imago (upper mississippi sh@kedown)

exactly, and ott wouldn't even bother to mock this dude if he hadn't been sitting angrily in front his comp looking at p4k for hours, probably drinking, hitting refresh refresh refresh, looking for something, anything to hate

always look forward to Whiney's handwavey quasi-defences of this guy every time someone notices him being a sociopathic piece of shit

@shallowrewards @MattHelgeson music's last honest soldier. his weapons? caps lock and an inexorable will to PWN two-month-old pop profiles

Ott's thinking is in keeping with the Gamergate "righteous troll" approach - any amount of misanthropy, bullying and general obnoxiousness is valid if you believe yourself a warrior for a noble cause.

had a bit of rum last night and dropped a tiny bit of sarcasm on him via twitter. he tried to zing me back by saying "nice fucking hair, food truck," then asserted I was one of his "disgruntled fan" twitter followers (I wasn't, oddly he followed me after I ripped him subtly on a previous occasion that could've only been read as a serious compliment if you're an idiot)

I honestly think he doesn't know or understand (or want to believe) that the people who are mocking him aren't doing so cause their brains are breaking due to his message, but because his message is naive bullshit expressed in a shitty hateful manner

sloth if you could post the entire rum fueled exchange that would be awesome.

first i'm gonna have to see evidence that sloth is not a food truck

The thing is that at a certain time of night Chris sees everyone as a food truck or a hamburger or a delicious cooked turkey.

xp irl lols at that

man if i was a sentient food truck that could type that'd be kinda dope, honestly

i blocked him bc i didn't feel like having it go on for much longer but i'm sure y'all can see his replies even tho they dont show up for me

I mean, I just think he's a funny internet personality and it's really befuddling watching a bunch of people who post all day to a zing-centric, belly-button-gazing, nit-picky, narc-of-small-diff music, corny-indie-fuxx-hating message board clown a guy for "caring" and being a meanie to indie rock personalities.

also i said this initially before he even replied to me, stemming from the issue that renewed our interest in ott-trolling

immature on my part to stoop to his level, obvs, but i was really annoyed, and as stated previously, rum.

i think ott is a total dick but tbh i am happy he exists, he is hilarious and those videos he used to do are tremendous

sloth, you've really never eaten at a food truck?

Whiney's right that the pious zingery of an ilxor isn't far removed from a self-righteous twitter troll.

Lol at trying to defend ott by bringing that up though

tbf this describes 99% of humans

xxp lol i havent! i never remember when the supposedly good ones are posted up near my office and they dont really come to the neighborhood in the city where i actually live often

also don't quite understand how that works as a zing about "hipsters" unless he thinks clover represents all food trucks

LOOK INTO THE MIRROR GUYS

I am but all I see is a food truck

are we human or are we food truck?

we are marshall food truck

corny-indie-fuxx-hating

he's a corny indie fuck who hates corny indie fuxx

probably just supporting the "ott is a distorted ilxor" theory here
