Too P4K indie maybe.

I kind of like them. I really enjoyed their debut, Oxford Comma being my favorite.

They have some good songs. But they are definitely a product of P4K hype.

P4K hype killed a lot of good bands.
I only read it because I want to know what's up with my favourite bands. I'm also happy that they leaked new Panda Bear tracks.

that's the only reason I read it.

Since when does Pitchfork have an abbreviation?

duga · 08-31-2010, 10:58 AM

And why does it need one? I actually have more trouble typing out P4k than typing out pitchfork.

~~Sansa Stark~~ · 08-31-2010, 10:59 AM

Right? **** that, and it's stupid abbreviation

To say Pitchfork hype killed good bands... I dunno. It implies that the quality of the music changes based on who likes it. I have a problem with that. Either they're good bands/songs or they're not.

I suppose perception of something can change based on who's talking about it, what they're saying, how much it's around, whatever. But that's perception--it's something after-the-fact and which every listener has their own control over. Blaming a 'zine or scene or whatever for that is just sort of... lazy, not to mention it opens the door for "social currency" and "myth of cool" arguments.

I dunno. My unpopular opinion, I guess, is that Pitchfork is fine. They're a magazine tailored to a specific clientele and serve the needs of that clientele very well.
