This thread and all the havoc is has/will create is what happens when you let your artwork designers announce the album 7 months in advance

and then hold onto the finished product for months.

we are essentially Warp's marketing department

Also has anyone else noticed a Google image search for "autechre exai" is pretty much dominated by shops from this thread? I bet Warp's marketing executives are overjoyed with us.

Exailent...

Fucking LOL at dominique leone review

it's not a her, do a google image search

Having a male name would be too mainstream for a man in a hipster publication like Pitchfork.

*self immolates*

Is it really necessary to hate on pitchfork/hipsters (counter culture people) in 2013?

There will never be a time to stop hating on that Untilted review, and the reviewer with it

not to be a nonconformist or anything but Leone was a really good critic who I discovered some stuff from and his music is relatively interesting

Tortoise: "not to be a nonconformist or anything but Leone was a really good critic who I discovered some stuff from and his music is relatively interesting"

but fuck that Untilted review ( a little bit )

someone should send leone one of hofstadter's records that destroys the turntable upon playing. i bet it'd get a ten.

Why is it necessary? And to extend the conversation to another popularly hated topic, is it necessary to hate on Skrillex?

Point I am making is that on the internet, giving weight to something is discussing, if it sucks just ignore it. I don't consider the faux pitchfork review to be hate btw.

Compson please stay on topic.

I should remind you that the current topic is how douchey Pitchfork is.

I just sent an application for their winter internship with a link to my review to Pitchfork.

Wish me luck guys.

I am discussing how dumb of a current topic it is. How many times are we gonna hear how stupid hipsters / Pitchfork is?

It's sort of like the scene in Ghostbusters were Gozar tells the gbusters that whoever they think of as an opponent they will face. If you're thinking about how much something sucks and you can't help it, it's cathartic to write about it or to express it in some fashion. Bottling up hated and anger is much less healthy imo.

I guess hipsters and pitchfork doesn't make me upset then. There are far more vile, non-subjective things happening in the world and in my own life that I devote anger and hatred towards. Like politics, religion, attitudes, dishonesty...
