Also, I get to take some pleasure in seeing a Pitchfork article referring to a Wolfie album as, "one of-- if you ask me-- the best records of the nineties," since in the nineties they put up a review of a Wolfie album wherein they make fun of teenaged me for giving them a good review.

My avatar holds the key to the mystery!


There's been a lot of discussion about it on the indiepop list.  There are some factual errors in it that I didn't notice (like saying that Steven Pastel started Creation records).  I guess I looked for the best in the tone of it - I read it as someone who was genuinely interested in pop, but a lot of people were saying that it was more detached and bemused.  I guess I can see both, but there are some parts where he seems to express a sincere affinity for the music.

I still kinda like it, and if it gets someone to pick up a Heavenly record or something, I think it's a good thing.  It's just one perspective and doesn't tell a complete story, but by Internet standards, it's pretty decent, I think.

ASturge:
Hmmm

I guess it's not too bad. It's a definate improvment over Pitchfork's usual output.

Just seems to me that he didn't have to write SO MUCH to get in all his points.

I wonder what all the anti-Pitchfork people who read QC are going to think on Friday.

Heh.
