I think it’s more of a place to do your one-stop shopping for ridiculous reviews of overhyped albums. And if you don’t get it, then you probably write for pitchfork and have a superiority complex.
If you swim your way through the bad reviews shins will —>

“All this – the new Indie rock, the bloated internet reviews, the fan sites, the hyperventilating hipsters – simply betrays a shallow emptiness throughout modern culture as a loose-knit collective strives through hyperbole to make something important and relevant where there is nothing. Trying in vain to turn a mirage into reality.
I think you are missing the joke. It’s not aimed solely at Pitchfork, but all music criticism everywhere (PF, like the fat kid in dodgeball, is just the easiest target). I myself have read numerous reviews that are so over-the-top with praise that it’s just ridiculous.
The Believer magazine does the opposite with book reviews… it registers the climate of book reviewing as too “snarky,” or the “hostile, knowing, bitter tone of contempt.”
haha, i half expected some of my reviews to be on there. i’m a terrible writer, but i like getting free shit. the good outweighs the bad in my little world.
Man, that’s some trash culture dreck for ya. You know, couple of our good friends who had been together for awhile just broke up. The feeling that reading those reviews gave me was eerily reminiscent of the feeling that hearing about their breakup gave me. Funny.
I don’t get it. Also first post fuck yes who cares
What a load of exaggerated waffle. It’s almost a ranting excuse to write eloquently about pretty much nothing, I think.
Holy crap! So embarrassing you can’t stop reading. It’s like watching nineties sitcoms. Check out the one about The Hold Steady.
so is he making fun of them by posting snippets of their reviews? he’s reviewing a review? laaaame

Q. What’s lamer that whiny snobs whining about whiny snobs?
A. Whiny snobs whining about whiny snobs whining about whiny snobs. And so on and so forth.
this is just more meta-cultural let’s-make-fun-of-pitchfork nonsense. aren’t we tired of bemoaning the long-winded review yet?
Scott needs more Britney news, so here it is:

The National is great, I recommend “Alligator” highly.

Future generations will laugh out loud (LOL).”
Look! I can do it, too! I’m “Meta.”
P.S. most of these bands are boring.

if there is any news that should be posted, it is on the purported “rigging” of the Dancing With the Stars finale. this needs more investigating.
I GOT THE JOKE.
I don’t get it.

“Hide and Seek” is just as the Pitchfork reviewer said it is. It is a fantastic song.
