This guy is the truth. NIce to see him on B.Vegan. The Ross Ross v. Simian Mobile Disco is one of the best remixes of the season. His pitchfork reviews as noted are on point. Great post B.Vegan.

If I recall correctly, Pemberton actually got fired from P-fork because his writing didn't gel with their style (i.e. it didn't contain -enough- bullshit)
