The thing is... there is this site that I really hate called Pitchfork, Many of you know it. It reviews music, but does so in such an elitist way, it's unfathomingly disgusting.
Have you ever heard Beck's "Sea Change" for example?
This is a really good CD that came out a long time ago, towards the end of 2002. It's a cd that is filled with beautiful heartbreaking music after Beck and his girlfriend of 7 years broke up. Honestly, I must have listened to this cd a hundred times at least. You can tell that it was written from very personal places in this man's mind and that it came from being unhappy and from solitude.
Thom York once said that the most beautiful music comes from solitude. I think that I agree with this.
Here is a link the entire album that a guy calling himself CakeZone uploaded and no one has taken down yet (14/3/16):
Beck - Sea Change (Full Album)
Anyway, Pitchfork (well, their idiot reviewer Will Bryant) gave this CD a 5.0 rating, and later on changed it to a 6.9, where it currently resides.
THEN, there is this loser called Fennez. He had this cd called "Black Sea". Here's a link to a "track" (if you can call it that) on Youtube:
Fennesz - First track from "Black Sea "
And here is the review from those LOSERS at Pitchfork:
Pitchfork - Review of Fennesz - Black Sea
the "reviewer" called it this:
"It's reminiscent of classical pieces-- sweeping and symphonic and patiently unfolding."
You see what I'm dealing with? They give a masterpiece 6.9 (after it used to be 5.0) and then they give this asswipe Fennesz an 8.4. And the world is silent.
So this is why I started writing about what I think. Because the fact that Pitchfork is so successful hurts me on a deep, personal and meaningful level.
End of first post. Have a great day.
