Or at least Scott Plagenhoef making a symbolic gesture about the role Pitchfork played in hyping the Kids up with no talk of music for those not fresh on the scene. Pitchfork needs ad revenue and must maintain their image, though. Maybe we should devote a blogpost or two to getting to the core of Who Pitchfork is serving. And look at the way in which they attempt to play to those readers through their manipulation of News, Reviews, and Editorials. Ugh. Sounds like a brilliant Media Studies Term Paper, but maybe too big of a bite for us working blokes to swallow. Ah well.<BR/><BR/>Back to Black Kids: not surprisingly Metacritic polls at 6.4 with a whole lot of okay sounding reviews, which makes Pitchfork's slam even more mysterious and, dare I mention the word, SUSPECT. Duhn duhn duhn.<BR/><BR/>But then again, maybe I should spend the amount of time I would spend reading a review, and think about the symbolism of the two Pugs. Maybe there's more meaning to this review than we think! duhn duhn duhn.Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03858972039886248869noreply@blogger.com
