BSS's Drew calls Pitchfork 'just so silly'

« Opeth "Chronology" Performances | Buy Bright Eyes' smashed guitar for charity »

"Pitchfork is just so silly. The buzz that it generates is unreal. It is a great thing how sarcastic they can be -- it is amusing. They get a kick shitting on bands. We were really surprised they didn't shit on us. Pitchfork is already bigger than Rolling Stone in terms of influence. As soon as the '90s ended, music fans were like, 'Fuck you!' Now the young people are taking over and are like, 'I don't need you to tell me what to like and not to like anymore!' Take the choices and give them back to the kids, I say."

Pretty ironic comment, seeing as Pitchfork made BSS's career and all...

Pitchfork is shit. So is Rolling Stone. It's just that Rolling Stone hypes up corporate shit, and Pitchfork slags off on decent albums b/c they think it's trendy to.

And for the record: Caves, like, totally suck.

Caves' first EP was pretty good, but the full-length sucked.

Pitchfork's staff are a bunch of bitter, failed writers. Ciao for now!

Pitchfork only likes Radiohead and post-rock acts. I wonder why they should be so influential. And yes, seeing their sarcasm, their writers have definitely failed at doing other more successful activities.
