Doghouse holiday sale


Recommended Posts

"The band's decision to not sign with a major just makes them seem financially inept in addition to their musical shortcoming. You guys, just sell out! Independent music does not need you. Pick out those leather pants and jump into the mill."

This is one of the dumbest things I have ever read in a review. lol Fuck Pitchfork.

I hate Pitchfork but I never got the GUK's. Saw them a bunch in the 90's and just never understood the appeal. I grabbed one LP in this sale to give them another shot. I pulled my Four Minute Mile the other day and they still didn't make sense to me. I even asked myself why I've been toting it around for like 15 years now in my crates.

The reality is that we can't like everything. Then you get a pretentious site like Pitchfork where writing a review like that gets you a cool point instead of constructively dissecting why you didn't like them.

That whole first paragraph pretty much illustrates why I never go on that site.

 

Was going to say something about that. The whole review is poorly written. He actually dissects the literal meanings of lyrics in an attempt to sound educated and smart, then goes on to employ the same tactics he's bitching about. He complains about the "cliché" aspects of the music, yet he uses a whole bunch of clichés to describe how cliché it is. Such an idiot.

Sorta glad I got the pink variant over the purple for STWHA but it did not matter much. What is great is a chance to get that Four Minute Mile and Woodson 7". When I pre-ordered for 35 dollars the thing never came and after 2 months I had to get a refund. This is great for me because for 12 dollars I get it. Though I know realize I have spent 28 dollars in this sale.
