What did pitchfork do to make you think they were infallible and then in turn fallible?

I really dont remember. Must of been an album they reviewed and I just couldnt see eye to eye. if I remember what is I'll let you know, my memory is a bit scattered at the moment

The last week ive been in hospital all drugged up, some dude attacked me in my house when I asked him to leave, he trashed my computer all my music and my entire room. had to jump out of a window to get away from him, so i had to get all stitched up so im bed bound trying trying redownload all my lost music and by second hand copies etc. so I will end with the things I learnt this week

1. Starting a music collection from scratch .... SUCKS.
2. Im glad I put deerhunter on my iPod. it made a boring week in hospital bearable.
3. A lot of nurses are musically inept. and they all seem kind of stupid, especially the younger ones

Week: The Clash is far better than the sex pistols.

Month: The Black Parade deserves more credit than it has, such an underrated album.

Year: Radiohead could release anything (i mean anything) and critics will drool over it anyways.

Thankyou. A late choice but we saw her live ages ago and always loved that song. And with my wife being the music teacher she is, it was a good choice.

Technically, our first dance was to Liam Lynch - United States Of Whatever. Well, not really a dance, more of a mutual crazy movement and singalong.

the first dance?

Actually it was at the ceremony. We had it arranged by a choir. Sounded amazing.

WOW that would have been crazy good. Out of curiosity what was your first dance?

Week: New Zealand music is hard to define (or even find!)

Month: Some older bands need my attention (Can, The Fall, Gang Of Four)

It's very easy to find.

Although I may have an advantage with that 😜

1. This week I discoverd one of 2010's hidden gems : "Mines" by Menomena. Go listen ! Now !

For me, "Mines" doesn't raise itself above the mediocre. The debut, "I Am The Fun The Fun Blame Monster" from 2003 is much better.

Again, that's what Piero says... 😉

Whatever, I wouldn't know, this is my first tast of Menomena, and makes me want to listen to more, and will definitely have their debut on my wishlist !
I think the production work put into these tunes is above mediocre. They seem pretty talented actually. Imo.

And "TAOS" is awesome :

Realized that a lot of stuff I enjoyed in the 80s and 90s like Echo and the Bunnymen, teardrop explodes, Joy Division etc isn't really very good.

Realized that "Better Scream" by Wah Heat is one of the greatest songs ever.

Learned about ATP's "I'll Be Your Mirror" event at Alexander Palace in London in July featuring P.J Harvey, Swans, Telescopes, Portishead, Grinderman etc.

ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN 😲

Damn, I hope I never realize that they are "not really that good"

What did pitchfork do to make you think they were infallible and then in turn fallible?

Wait Wait hold on a sec here, people actually like Pitchfork? :shock:

I honestly do like them though would never ever think they were infallible (not that I think Thomas neccesarily does either).

Ah well lets no get into an argu"debate" about why Pitchfork is terrible :D

no I agree let's just leave it as "they're very good at what they do but are are not the be all and end all of musical opinion in anyway" 😜

Week: I underestimated Neon Bible and I know listen to it more than the other two AF albums

Month: Arctic Monkeys are Awesome.

Year: I hate College (American College), but realize working for minimum wage is fucking slave labor and do not want to clean a hospital for the rest of my life, should have gone to some technical school or joined military. University sure taught me how to drink ALOT though.
