@tomsenkus pitchfork is shite and i hope chad never gets mixed up with that riff-raff. there is a huge difference between people into music like MGMT and people into stuff like emperor x. and actually emperor x got some love from pitchfork around 2005ish and thats how i heard about him so...i don't really know what i'm saying here. pitchfork sucks now but it didn't back then
@fattygoatshoulder Pitchfork is hipster-lifestyle shite, but it serves a function that Rolling Stone and other music publications have served in the past. I think its a way of lifting a person out of obscurity who's done their touring due-diligence and at least getting those whom deserve their just-desserts. To say that Mr. Matheny would be "corrupted" would be more of a slight to his own savvy than lecherous...
...powers that be that need grist for the mill. I believe Chad's lo-fi aesthetic is a product of his self-imposed Luddism and practicality--could you imagine "Raytracer" without some of tape saturation? I certainly think some of the underdog-against-all-odds pretext certainly enhances my opinion of Chad's music, and without that, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Now, for MGMT or Deerhunter, Arcade Fire or Les Savy Fav, ad finitum, I judge them on the meritocracy of their purpose. If you consider them innocuous, what's wrong with that? You could easily criticize someone like Brian Eno for kowtowing to produce U2's Joshua Tree, disregarding that the money from that (and other "commercial") endeavor(s) makes some of money-hemorraging insolvent fringe efforts possible. So, I reiterate, he should be on Pitchfork!!!! GIVE HIM YOUR MONEY!!!!
