Ugh the last page and half of Vampire Weekend discussion all seems predicated on their reputation from previous albums and not taking City on its own terms. Look, they have the caustic reputation...
Haha you are right, thought about that as I was listening to the album last night. Silly me. And after a few spins I'd be shocked if they gave it a 9+. It's a fine album but it's nothing amazingly...
I'd be shocked if they gave Daft a 9.0+. That's traditionally not a hype machine Pitchfork contributes to. Vampire Weekend is well on its way to a 9 with 3 for 3 on BNT for the singles.
I spoke with my buddy at CAA this morning who knows Kanye's agent's secretary and she said the album is out June 18th. He sent me a photo of their chat log but won't betray trust and post here, take...

Really diggin the soul and old school vibes on Chance the Rappers new mixtape. Production is solid, flows are funny, I'm still getting acquainted but highly recommend you scoop it off datpiff.
Chance the Rapper - Acid Rap

It's on datpiff but also leaked on sites. Super funky shit.
Midnight Juggernauts - Uncanny Valley

NOTE: That image is not the album cover because it doesn't seem to have been released. Looked around for it and couldn't...
I'd fucking love this
damn, what a smoldering beauty "I Need My Girl" is.
Saw this and wanted to comment on the lyrics real quick. Gotta love a line like "nurse this erection back to health" haha, made me double back real quick. It's pretty sick though on a cursory listen...
I feel like this could be received as gauche but I thoroughly enjoy Young Galaxy's new album Ultramarine. It avoids the schmaltz death sentence that plagues so many electro pop acts (although the...
I got it last night and really enjoy what i've heard so far. Super funky, vocals are caramel, production typically tight from fly lo. will have more thoughts when i've spent some time with it. i can...
Beacon - The Ways We Separate

Somewhat leak related, curious if anyone got their hands on the Jai Paul bandcamp leak that was taken down? Reading amazing things about it but didn't download before they took it down and have yet...
yeah...strange. maybe they had to make that snail larger and his oozy trail stickier
Charli XCX - True Romance

Iron and Wine - Ghost on Ghost

I'm going rogue from the RZA predictions and calling a Bon Iver appearance. That RZA track is a stain on an otherwise great album for me. Also, did anyone scope the deluxe edition? The bonus track...

"Please note: Camping passes are non transferable by themselves. They will only work when scanned with the festival pass it was ordered with...
I have a friend whose life was changed at coachella 2011 as well. He became obsessed with art and began touring the world with his exhibit called "exploitation". He essentially sits in a 5x5 area...
if you found 1 that fit the criteria as well as all three of you at the same time would you be interested? I may know a candidate.
Hyden and Cohen are hilarious when they review shit they don't like. Easily the funniest dudes at Pitchfork.
really it surprises me so many people go for just the music when such dubious trickery is just a few well hashed out training sessions with 10 of your closest friends away.

I thin it's serviceable just nothing transcendent. Certainly not a slog to get through. If you were expecting a masterpiece you'd be let down but I'd question why you had that expectation in the...
I'm slightly confused by the talk of the new stage. The collateral they included with the wristbands detailing the line up and stages mentioned nothing of a new stage. I'm aware of the plans they...
Just to be sure, you do realize his original comment was not directed at your dumb ass but at the guy who posted the picture of September 11th, correct? Also, did you just follow a miserably lame...
Wanted to second this. Absolutely gorgeous album from start to finish.
Lapalux's whole new LP is worth multiple spins. A menagerie of songs that showcase a lot of different talents and great sampling. Strong work from him.
Oh man, that track sets up to be one of the most self deprecating po-faced messes in a while. I'm quite excited to hear it.
I can't say with any certainty but I know there are rumors that swirl around about Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra having orgies with each other.
Got it, good to know. Just saw Walking Dead had a thread and assumed.
Why would they put less than half of the acts the other stages are getting on the new stage in lieu of better distribution? Is there valid information to justify that or just a hunch? Doesn't add up...
I'm kind of shocked to see that The Americans hasn't claimed it's own thread here yet. No more. I just finished an OnDemand binge of the show and am hooked. Swings with Homeland in the new drama...
Okay, I will definitely go back and listen to Daughter again but I came away with a bit different of a impression. I think her sonics are quite limited and the arrangements far too similar song to...
"Dog Blood – Ultra Worldwide – 5:00 p.m.
Limited in the amount of time they can practice as Dog Blood, Skrillex and Boys Noize have some kinks to work out in their new collective. Skrillex is...
Come on elliot, awful? Step's lyrical turns are borderline brilliant and has a great melody. May not be your style but certainly not "awful".
Pretty surprising that the usual power puff reviewers over at NPR and PMA both ripped JT and the harsher critics at CoS and Pitchfork lauded it. I agree with the latter and also think an 8.4 is about...
The whole album is fantastic, however, I saw them at the Echoplex and they were slightly disappointing. They have no reservation or poise, they were aggressively stomping through parts of songs that...
I'm just stopping by to triple quote this affront to logic. You shouldn't be arrested for selling drugs; you should be arrested for the most illogical conclusion drawing I've ever seen.
I don't know how I feel about Ray joining ESPN. Getting preached at every time I watch NFL Live isn't high on my to-do list. I don't think I've ever seen an interview or filmed interaction of Ray...
Disagree -- I'd be curious to hear what specifically your speaking of when you say elements that make no sense together. I hear what your saying but this record grows on you. Save "Attic Doctor"...
Also, with services like NPR's First Listen and Pitchfork's Advance, you are getting the albums early as is.
Don't give them so much credit. Saw them in SB at a small venue and the lead singer is such a diva he even covered Destiny's Child "Say My Name" for good measure.
haha looks like you just called that one dude

For sure agree that the sex scene was awkwardly long. Perhaps to show the reconnection was successful post rape? Don't know.
I felt like overall the meeting between Rick and the Governor seemed a...
