Yeah, it's getting pretty difficult to read Pitchfork nowadays with their constant referencing of Paris Hilton and the continuous heaps of praise they shower her with.

I hear they're also planning to give the new Taylor Hicks CD a 10.0

I couldn't agree with you more. Any praise is too much. She's a worthless human being and everything with her name on it is equally as worthless.

Trashing her name. Werd.

Today's Corrina Repp review on Pitchfork is the worst music review I have ever read.

Bravo! Utterly, completely on-the-money! I thought exactly the same thing when I read it this morning.

(Incidentally, based on the positive review -- at least what I understood of it -- I sampled some Corrina Repp songs on eMusic and streamed a song off the band's web site. It was good. It reinforced my feeling that Pitchfork has good taste and bad writing.)

Yeah. It really is. The funny thing is, like Daniel Esq. said, the album is actually good. The review, though... hahaha.

I might as well post this. My favorite site, Something Awful, once did a Pitchfork parody...

http://www.somethingawful.com/fake/richdork/

I remember Sub Pop did something along the same lines, but I wouldn't be able to find that.

Oh, and if we want to talk about ridiculous Pitchfork reviews, their Kid A review is hilariously wtf.

I read Dr. David Thorpe religiously. He's like a regular Spinal Tap fix for rock critics.

The P4K staffer "actually talking to a real-life girl" was fucking brilliant.

I haven't followed this topic but given the posts on the last page I might as well add my two bob's worth.

Having recently read Pitchfork's "Top 100 Albums of the 1970s", I was amused by the varying astuteness of the potted reviews. They ranged from on-the-money (Mark Richardson's review of The Harder They Come) to laugh-out-loud silly, to wit:

"Listening to this album [Led Zeppelin IV] is like fucking the Grand Canyon" - Chris Dahlen.

Yeah, Chris, like you've ever had sex with a geological formation. So tell me, did the earth move for you too? (sorry Smiler)

Wouldn't that be terribly unsatisfying? You don't have the furniture to fill the apartment.

I'm assuming he means a pussy like "the Grand Canyon." While you're barely taking it literally, you're still taking it too literally.

I think. I can never figure out P4K reviews. Dahlen's written some alright shit, though.

What I'm supposed to draw from that comment is: Its the same old shit that you've heard a million times, but hey, its still a great record.

Hey I know the chicks a slut, but dude, you're still gettin' pussy.

Same logic, right? Would Mr. Dahlen come on here and explain what he meant please? kthanxbai.

Not only that, but you'd have to stay "rock hard"
