Friday, Jan. 25 2008 @ 7:20AM
Old fogies, you have a new spokesperson, and he hates music site Pitchfork.com. AdAge's Larry Dobrow wrote yesterday in an article entitled Pitchfork Sure Is Cutting Edge, and That's the Problem:
the turbo-snobs at Pitchfork, those deathly self-serious arbiters of all that is good and decent in the world of music ... don't seem to like music very much. ... The Comic Book Guy 'tude annoys the hell out of me. ... Snark is boring; give me the incredibly literate enthusiasm of these two sites over the trademark Pitchfork hoity-toityness any day. ... Pitchfork demands the assembly of a Federal Bad-Writing Task Force, complete with subpoena power and automatic weaponry. ... Pitchfork is a lost cause for advertisersOhh, snap! Any other critiques our readers would like to add? First comment gets two free tix to Mika (Pitchfork rating: 1.5) at Warfield 02/12/2008. (Assuming you have registered as an SF Weekly Insider.)
