Pitchfork's Chris Ott takes No Prisoners

SD I would guess that she's too hyped by pitchfork to not(t) be on his enemies list.

Wait what did the DIIV dude do? I can't keep up

some member of the band (not heroin-casualty zach cole himself) went on a tear of misogynist and sexist bullshit via 4chan

correction to above redundancy: misogynist and racist (and anti-Semitic! and homophobic) bullshit

grimes has tweeted anti pitchfork things, inc. "fuck pitchfork" and "pitchfork sucks"

He doesn't "hate people hyped by pitchfork", that's like really stupid thing to say, you clearly know nothing of the Ott

ott i mean nuki you have never once said anything about charli xcx while i've been on ILX, other than posting a link to the saul austerlitz article ITT, and i could care less if you did - for the 1,000th time, things like that are not why people mock you for clowning on pop music

also i know the spelling errors might be a cover-your-sock-tracks tactic but goddamn dude

bene vixit qui bene latuit

the ott is gone, long live the ott

Is there a sadder bastion of back-patting than ILM IDK.

Hi

IT ISN'T SO WRONG TO BE WHERE YOU'RE FROM.

probably you, by yourself, making videos in your basement

Basements are underrated though

Xpost It's not where you're from but where you're ott

My videos had more hits than this thread, so, no.

i'll never know, until i can watch chris ott's children sleeping ;_;

ILM is the NME mailbin of the Internet age.

are your video hit numbers as trustworthy as your twitter follower stats?

that sounds like something a Brand Strategist would be really concerned with vetting.

zing, because hits don't matter, oh wait

why do i care how many hits this thread is do i think this thread should go viral and make me money what is this?

this thread has insufficient hits its a failure shut it down

thing is a lotta guys who see themselves as Benders are really Brians

But Stapp later came into the Harbor Court Hotel bar while Sexton and bandmates SA Martinez and P-Nut were watching basketball on television. He stepped in front of the screen and said, "311, I am ready to fight," according to Sexton.

bytchass of juxberry rules, agreed?

Hey Chris,

Pygmalion is just "OK".

*cries in the snow*

A Place to Bury Strangers did Loveless better than MBV

still got a tiny black mole on my heart for the ilxor bluds.

Is it asymmetric?

i don't know, but it keeps coming back and it's gross and it smells

has Ott ever been more hilariously dumb than when he tried to make hay out of PF 'cashing in' on The Jacka's death by running an unpublished interview with him by the writer who'd done the most to champion his music (and wrote an 8.0 review of one of his albums for PF just weeks earlier).

i mean, pitchfork literally posted it so people would click on a newsworthy thing and then they could subsequently provide traffic numbers that they could give advertisers in exchange for money...

But that's just called "doing your job"

Nothing new there. Publications, print and online, have published "previously unpublished" interviews with recently deceased artists since time immemorial. There's just a more direct way of tracking the effect of that now.

eh i think there's such a thing as being TOO cynical when it comes to things like this. we all, as writers, have niche artists we love and have championed. they're all gonna die someday, some of them maybe unexpectedly and way too soon. when that happens, and you have something substantial to say about them, or an unpublished interview or whatever, you're not gonna send it to an editor and put it front of an audience, and try to do something for their now-suddenly -posthumous legacy? maybe because some asshole on twitter thinks you're just 'doing it for the clicks'? fuck that. there've been underrated regional/local rappers who i've had to write obituaries for in the last few years and i sure as fuck wasn't doing it for the little check that i could've gotten writing about anything else, it fucking sucked, i'd rather those guys were still alive and i'm sure deej feels the same about one of his favorite rappers.

i mean, i'm not yelling at you guys for your reasonable responses, i'm just venting because Ott is a moron who'll put anything Pitchfork in the crosshairs for any ridiculous reason.
