I am saying boo-urns
Pitchfork. It is funny at times and makes me happy for the 7 minutes it takes me to read it. Then I complain. There is a lot of "news" on there but that's only because all that stuff happened while they were exchanging the new "Man Man" or "Les Savy Poop Poop Crap" record during secret santa at the pitchfork x-mas party. I give them a big boo-urns and they earn my "Just Shut Up" Award for today for their Orioles style excuses.

Infrequency and Indie Punching. Not Professionalism.

Our internets aren't working AGAIN. It's incredibry frustrating to be working under a very tight deadrine and not being ab... ab-erw to use e-m...ema... emairw.
I have been listening to their album quite a bit lately and take it as a sign that they are coming around. Thier bio is pretty funny:

I'll read that in a lil while. Yes, catchspoon is stupid. It's a good thing us indie kids don't give a hoot about accountability, or we'd demand they fire their production team of two guys named Dean and a monkey wearing a vintage tee, Erlend, who's been busy listening the Primal Scream's REALLY early stuff.
Any Brendan Benson news is good; I like that guy, and am an anti-Klosterman cheerleader for him, despite his habit of releasing sometimes very old songs as new; even as title tracks. Don't get his friendship with Jack White, either...
My proximity to Asian-American co-workers prevents me from enjoying engrish fully. The few that I did view produced incriminating laughter.
Pitchfork really doesn't care about what we think mainly because they provide a free, daily service, but it's nice to have something to complain about. They put stupid stuff on there and hope that people click on neighborhoodies or suicidegirls so they can make a little money to cover their little to no operating costs, I'd guess a good amount of their staff is completely freelance, use their own computers and have no office. The existence of frequent spelling and grammatical errors also leads me to believe they don't employ an edi-thor either. A bunch of non affliated yokels sitting in their apartments, checking bands' websites for tour info, listening to free cds, watching tapes of Austin City Limits and eating frozen pizza. Soooooo jealous.
Alright, Stephen A.'s a tool (don't worry, I won't link a Stephen A. column), but the Philly sports writers are generally alright.
This column, for instance, is depressingly honest, which is what Phillies writers have needed to be for a few decades, with a couple of smiles thrown in ever 13 years or so.

If only we merged, BMI/Sony style.

The Phillies article is very good, I wish more writers would be that honest (read: Orioles writers). I would only quibble with 2 points: (1) they did not NEED to sign Kevin Millwood (he's gone, forget about him, never mention him again) and (2)there is no mention of their loss of players, losing Milton adds to the sucking of their offseason. Whatever, who cares, go Nats.
I dont think we should go through the expensive process of human merging just to sign on with some British start up.
