No, it’s never been just you, my friend. I love the one anon response, though, part of which goes like this:
“Record reviews are great when they’re discussing how great music is - and how much they love these records - but when you start criticizing music then the purpose has become negative. I can’t see why anybody would to make music a negative thing. Music is good. Not SOME music is good, and SOME is bad, that’s bullshit. All music is good, yet the people at Pitchfork and many other music critics insist to approach music aristocratically. I hate when Pitchfork is mean to artists, it’s so unnecessary. I don’t love every single bit of music I hear, but I just cannot bring myself to say what I am hearing is bad. It’s not bad, I just don’t like it.”
This person would hate me. No such thing as bad music? OK, how about bad taste in music? Lamer.
Sweet mercy, was that funny. And spot on, in its own juvenile way.
Several people on this staff will tell you that when I need to get someone in line, I will say to them, “I don’t want us to turn into Pitchfork.” Works every time.
