I know a lot of people give Pitchfork shit on here, but damn, their reviews are journalism at its finest. Like 80% of them are masterfully written, the other 20% are pretentious and dumb though

I understand the hate, a lot of their reviews are a bit self-pandering and pretentious. That said they are generally on the mark for recommendations even if you don't agree with how the review is written. I regularly listen to all their BNM and 8.0+ reviews, and I'm very rarely disappointed.

Most of the shit thrown their way is actually due to the multitudes who blindly follow their ratings as a guide on what they should like or dislike. They have some decent writers and many of their reviews hit the mark. But it's nowhere near the finest music journalism. Read a Greil Marcus book or a Sasha Frere-Jones piece or even go back to some old Nat Hentoff jazz critiques for music journalism at its finest.

Yeah I was overreacting a little when I posted that. I had just read their review of "Attack on Memory" for the first time and I loved everything about it. Thanks for the recommendations, I actually switched my major to journalism this semester and could use all the help I can get. Any other ones I should check out?

I BOOed my neighbors today because I have never met them and want to be their BFF and looking for a way "in". They seem like good people and I need a social life. I was all excited to BOO them with pumpkin beer and cupcakes and even treats for their dog and as I walk away from their doorstep I remember BOOing is anonymous and they will never know it was me. Dammit.

I found this review of the "Start Together" box set (Sleater-Kinney) to be especially well written and worth a read.

Megabus goes from Buffalo to Knoxville direct. Just sayin.

How many hours is that adventure? And how far is Knoxville from nashville? And when are you arriving in Buffalo?
Sonic is the best fast food in America. At least on the east coast.
Keep that claim north of the Mason Dixon line if you're talking fast food. Because down here and along the actual East Coast, that shit is considered highly nasty.

Incorrect. The correct answer is Taco Bell.
Well every time you think someone says something stupid, inforoo is a great place to prove that if you wait long enough, someone will come along to say something more stupid.
Sonic has the worst fast food here at least as far as burgers and fries go. The milkshakes aren't bad though.
Who gets fries at Sonic when you can get tater tots, jalepeno poppers, mozzarella sticks, or onion rings instead?
And who gets that when you can go to Cook-Out, get a chicken quesadilla and a bacon wrap for a side. Add a sweet tea so big I could drown you in it. All of this for like $6.25.

Please elaborate on this "bacon wrap"
Take tortilla, add bacon, cheese, lettuce. Wrap in foil. Wonderous.

Does it sit in a shitpile of grease for an hour and get delivered burnt and tasting like a dirty ass crack that was dipped in fried onion juice that oozed out of a homeless person's armpit body odor when you order it?

pops you seem to be very invested in this argument.
