pitchfork has officially lost all credibility... - Page 7

atsonicpark · 04.11.2008, 10:00 AM

Porky, I don't understand the argument here either.

Rather, I don't understand why there's still any argument at all -- I said about 3 times that my definition of obscurity must be different than some people's. What else is there to argue about? As far as "underground" music goes, Animal Collective is really well-known. But they're still underground for now. That's all. Nothing else to say really.

atsonicpark · 04.11.2008, 10:02 AM

Hhahaa, I love all that early 90's college rock/alternative rock shit. I have a soft spot for it. Even a couple Bush songs... though the vocals are terrible.

This thread is officially psychobabble.

Rob Instigator · 04.11.2008, 10:05 AM

possum dixon?

atsonicpark · 04.11.2008, 10:09 AM

Rob, let's never argue again. *hug*

atsonicpark · 04.11.2008, 10:11 AM

Make up your mind
Decide to walk with me
Around the lake tonight
Around the lake tonight
By my side
By my side
I'm not gonna lie
I'll not be a gentleman
Behind the boathouse
I'll show you my dark secret

I'm not gonna lie
I want you for mine
My blushing bride
My lover, be my lover, yeah...

Don't be afraid
I didn't mean to scare you
So help me, Jesus

I can promise you
You'll stay as beautiful
With dark hair
And soft skin...forever
Forever

Make up your mind
Make up your mind
And I'll promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus

(hey, hey, hey)

Give it up to me
Give it up to me
Do you wanna be
My angel?
So help me!

Be my angel

Be my angel

Do you wanna die?

I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus

Jesus

Jesus

Jesus...

Looks like they finally got around to that singles collection, and gave it a pretty good review too...still a shit website though.

Question:

If you guys think that it's a shit website, why do you read it?

atsonicpark · 05.06.2008, 08:30 AM

Better late than never, I guess, super_charger...

why do the people who this question is directed at never answer it?

atsonicpark · 05.06.2008, 08:51 AM

I don't think anyone's had a chance to answer it yet. He just posted it.

If you're referring to me (?!), I don't read the site but I did years ago.

05.06.2008, 08:53 AM

I vaguely asked that earlier on this thread, I think. Anyway, why?

atsonic: Why do you seem so pissed off at their wrong-doing, then?

atsonicpark · 05.06.2008, 08:58 AM

I highly doubt I come off as more "pissed-off" about their wrongdoing than anything else I come off as pissed off about on this board. It's all meaingless anyway, we're just having a debate. Anyway, I'm not pissed-off, I'm merely contributing to a discussion.

But, as I explained earlier, I became irritated with their review style a long time ago, and I became sick of seeing their name, as if they're some credible source of music knowledge that can make or break any band with the press of a button. That's about it. I already talked earlier about how they give review scores based upon labels/bands paying them to do so, which you know, doesn't surprise me and is probably done everywhere by everyone, but -- really, there ARE people that truth pitchfork. Which is sad. But whatever.

i wasn't refering to you, more just in general to when people gripe about pitchfork, which is something that happens sporadically, and then people ask "if you hate pitchfork so much why do you read it?", but for people who hate pitchfork the idea of not reading pitchfork is apparently incomprehensible.

05.06.2008, 09:03 AM

Sure, and what are you going to do about it?

Isn't pitchfork the easiest of targets, anyway?

I just don't get when people get agitated by reading something they disagree wih but carry on doing it because somehow it makes them feel important and ends up validating something about themselves, that's all.

I mean , there are people out there who can write well and write about interesting things, so why the fuck would anyone waste their time reading something that they consider to be crap, I don't get.

edit: astso

atsonicpark · 05.06.2008, 09:04 AM

Oh, okay, I thought you were referring to me since I had replied since he posted that.

Anyway... pitchfork rules. Pitchfork sucks. It's just a website. Net neutrality and all that.

05.06.2008, 09:06 AM

139 replies of pure neutrality. Hmmm.....
