Top 20 reasons Pitchfork shouldn't be allowed to... →
this had me at #20:
“you think chillwave is a genre”
ok, so the article is really called
“Top 20 reasons you shouldn’t be allowed to review records”, I just fixed it because I know that’s what he meant.
Seriously this thing reads like a pre-requisite to writing for Pitchfork… alright, I’ll stop hating now.

Most likely explanation is that RIM had them taken down. You can say a of things about Apple, but at least they only censor their own forums.
HA!
lets call a spade a spade here… this is for a product that has not been released. If it really is a problem, then maybe they are working on it BEFORE putting it out, OR maybe it isn’t a problem, and since it isn’t...

Everything Everything, "Schoolin" (Games Remix)... →
I absolutely love this band - their sound, and specifically the singer’s voice is really unique. So far everything I’ve heard from them is a big winner. The worst thing about them is their name which is very difficult to search for, but that’s about my only complaint.

Best New Zone
pitchforkreviewsreviews:
from altered zones:
okay now i’m gonna transcribe a paragraph from the bottom of page 103 of pitchfork editor scott plagenhoef’s book entitled If You’re Feeling Sinister about the Belle and Sebastian book of the same title:
“… So why did that happen? Short answer: the internet. The Sinister list (a Belle and Sebastian fan community) and its “down the pub” feel ...
On being a groupie.
dearcoketalk:
So I know it sounds bad to say this, but my friend is a big groupie of this band. Like goes to all their shows in a reasonable distance, has plenty of their; tees, posters,etc., she even hooks up with one of them, I would call her obsesed! She convinced me to go with her to see them.
With a weird turn of events, I ended up hooking up with one of them. I dont obsess and I dont even...

Stream Mystery Jets new album, "Serotonin"
as usual, I’m giving love to another one of my favorites, Mystery Jets. They have a new record out on Rough Trade, available now in the UK and next week here in the US. These guys are a fairly eclectic bunch with great songs and versatile sound, you never quite know exactly what you’ll get. Truth be told I haven’t even checked out these songs yet, but I’m quite confident...

a grammar: a brief, obvious, and maybe kinda meta... →
In this piece, Sarah at Feministe writes about getting over rockist “Dude Music” mentalities and embracing pop. And the symbol she comes to, in the end, is Robyn — going to see a Robyn show instead of Metric (who are “Much! More! Serious!”).
Elsewhere, I’ve found myself defending Robyn from…
God, I hate writing like this… I should clarify though, its the Feministe article that I...

"The Road", through the eyes of a Tour Manager →
Here’s a pretty good interview with a high-level Tour Manager. The meat of the interview is great, but there are some formatting / transcription errors that actually pervert the information, like the following sentence:
When you’re touring, the headliner will set up your stuff, and that can take all the way to the doors or past the doors, so you never get a sound check as an opening...
