Pitchfork Gives Music 6.8

CHICAGO—Music, a mode of creative expression consisting of sound and silence expressed through time, was given a 6.8 out of 10 rating in an review published Monday on Pitchfork Media, a well-known music-criticism website.

According to the review, authored by Pitchfork editor in chief Ryan Schreiber, the popular medium that predates the written word shows promise but nonetheless "leaves the listener wanting more."

Hi!

Pfft, who asked you?

Bob Dylans Christmas Album is the best songwriting I've ever heard.

You've gotta be kidding me, I can't believe how mainstream you are.

No, their pre-japanese whaling stuff. Some of it they weren't even going to record and it only got picked up by hidden CIA spy microphones.

I tell you what, ever since Giant Squids were discovered they've become media whores

 

[Conan Troutman]

Pretty hard to go past Megamouth's self-titled debut for me personally.

The best music can be found in caves, you can hear the soundwave remnants of cavemen chants. Untainted music at its best.

I only listen to music by bands that haven't even formed yet

I'm actually related to the bloke who invented music.

Hence the reason I only listen to Gregorian chant.

Getting into some G-chants myself.

 

[La Dispute]

Massive bump.

Being a music elitist is fine as long as you keep it to yourself and don't try to play down, discredit and reject the musical inclinations of others.

Pretty much, if you're 'that guy' you're a campaigner.

 

[La Dispute]

When I say campaigner I mean campaigner.

What happened to the labrador?

He's gone nowg
After the Essendon decision, this dog has the awkward smile I have whenever people talk about our poor club.

This one is still a good dog though.

Do you particularly like their unreleased material?

 

[volcboy]

Do you particularly like their unreleased material?

As soon as they release anything, they've sold out

 

[Severe]

As soon as they release anything, they've sold out

As soon as they formed a band they sold out meathead.

I rarely listen to music after about 1983. Sometimes I hear a cool track between 1995-2000 era but who cares when there are 1000's of equally good and usually better songs from the 1968-83 period. If there's an elitist its me. I bag the crap out of nearly everything I hear on the radio and have been since the mid 80s with the occasional song I will rate and say about time I heard something decent. I only like clever catchy melody with good sound. Here's my 2 songs of the day. First is English from 71 and second is French from 76 and third is Italian from 77

They only get better when you keep listening

 

[Madtiger2006]

I bet you listen to Tool and Pantera.

Crap bands lol
