I personally don't like Pitchfork, specifically their reviews, but their news section would be worth reading if they covered bands I cared for. I also think Animal Collective keeps getting more and more boring. And I am not a huge Zappa fan -- but he's definitely a genius. I actually love a few of his albums and 200 Motels quite a bit, I just think he has far too many albums I don't care for. JAZZ FROM HELL, WEASELS, and MONEY are all brilliant though.

Pitchfork reviews do basically suck (or rather, I disagree with them a lot), but I still read them for some reason. But I read a lot of reviews (allmusic, prefix, allaboutjazz, etc). So whatever. The Pfork news section is so much better now that they moved the tour dates to its own section. I was so sick of the news constantly being "_________ starts tour today"
I've been an AC fan for a long time, and it seems there's 2 kinds of us. Ther'es me who loves MPP and you that thinks it's boring. I hate Danse Manatee personally. But I appreciate what they were trying to do. I really think they're a great band though. And they always keep me excited to see what's next.
Zappa is great, but yes there's albums I love and albums I don't. ONLY IN IT, SHIP ARRIVING, for instance I f'ing love. APOSTROPHE i think is kind of silly and stupid. But that's the chance you take when a discography is nearly 100 albums. Right? I'd rather have 100 albums to dig thru and make up my mind about than have a band that put out 3 geat albums and called it quits. That's just how I am.
