Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
A jogging of the 'ol memory: that reminds me of a flow chart I saw in a magazine (Radar?) about which indie rock chick is right for you. One of the opening questions was something about "what is the best pavement album" and if you answer "dont listen to pavement" thats the end of the excercise. It's kinda funny. I'll see if I can find it.JennyB wrote:Pitchfork is derivative of Pavement.Flex wrote:A confession: I've been reading Pitchfork pretty regularly of late.

I used to read Pitchfork in their early days before they hired even more bad writers.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
A defense: I've found out about some pretty good albums from them that I never, ever would have heard about otherwise (Deerhoof's Friend Opportunity for example). The actual writing is almost inconsequential since their reviews don't deter me from anything, they just let me know about more.eumaas wrote:Agh!Flex wrote:I've been reading Pitchfork pretty regularly of late.
