Chris a cute.
Is that Rhett from, "Good Mythical Morning"
Which one of these ice creams will make us say, "Yas Queen!"
Chris is absolutely fucking based. Plz trash my favorite band. Help me see through the bullshit.
go to bed chris
Stop posting this Pitchfork Reddit faggot
Mark Prindle is /ourguy/
Chris Ott is Reddit: The Person
But reddit loves stuff like the disintegration loops
his "best albums of the 90s" is all fucking garbage le indieheads essential core Flaming Lips garbage and even shit like Dave Matthews/Busta Rhymes
He's a legit faggot
Swirlies are the ONLY cool band he's ever recc'd, everything else is tourist core
>Flaming Lips
He absolutely fucking hates that band.
CHRIS OTT'S TOP 100 ALBUMS OF THE 90s
source, when did he say this? Looks pretty solid anyway...
If you talked to him you'd know that that was based on what he felt pitchfork needed to get out in front of and were not his personal favorites. He's commented on this a few times on this, if you know where to go/look. He can't stand the Flaming Lips. He also would have put Battle of Los Angeles much higher.
>literally put an album he "fucking hates" in his top of the fucking decade because he was "told to"
it doesn't get any lower or more pathetic than that, that's even worse than genuinely liking the flaming lips
0 integrity or standards. wow
sometimes I think he says he hates stuff but it's more just for dramatic effect and to put across an opposing viewpoint. Like we all know he 'hates' Disintegration Loops but he still has them on his ambient playlist that he plays all the time on Spotify, so I don't think he hates it outright, just certain aspects or in certain ways. Maybe.
>thinking that was was significant is the same as what you enjoy.
Two different things, moron. When you represent a publication, you have responsibilities. Sometimes your taste and what you think is culturally relevant conflict. It's not just about masturbating to what you like, it's about hashing out what matters and what doesn't.
Yeah, it does depend on the day you catch him for a lot of things. He did like temper what he said on dlp in that video that like "yeah, it's okay, but it's a total fraud." He still clowns on Basinski on twitter, it's hilarious. I really don't see FL as anything he would like at all though, but that's just my read of it and what he said.
>Are The Flaming Lips a generational talent, or are they a collection of redneck junkies who made one good album?
>The latter.
>Does your hate for post-Boces MR carry on to the Flaming Lips?
>That is an independent and searing hate. Though I will give them the Soft Bulletin.
>I have a strange feeling that you hate Elliott Smith
>I have always - he's in my top five with NMH the Flaming Lips and uh idk others. Ponderous egotistical junkie bullshit. Fuck that guy.

What is his twitter? The last I saw of him he deleted his account
weedadmin.
>doesn't like elliott smith
>thinks the flaming lips released a great album
this guy is a fag
>thinking what makes a good critic is that they validate what you like.
Holy shit, you're pathetic.
He's gonna try to convince me to listen to Archers of Loaf and there's no Polvo on his list. All those indie bands and no polvo. Appalling.
>Battle of Los Angeles over anything
He didn't say Chris wasn't a good critic, he just called him a fag, and you're a fag too
He never really liked Polvo, he does bat for the EP version of Vibracobra though
What happened re: whoever this guy is and GY!BE?
>ask.fm
>Do you like Polvo?
>Ott: One of my least-favorite bands. I've never liked any of their music. Them and Blonde Redhead. Just nothing, emotionless manipulation of instruments.
I have, and no disrespect, but all I can hear is just a worse polvo. Same scene, worse band.
How can he be so wrong I don't get it?

Well this sounds nothing like Polvo and is great, but might not be your cup of tea
Based 88
Not bad by any means but very average "I like music"-tier taste
Good rec
This is a lot more promising
you don't have to agree with critics
Archers and Polvo have next to nothing in common aside from being on Merge. It's no different than Superchunk/Polvo, sound totally different, but it's all from that region and there are some regional stylistic choices/similartities from all being on the same record.
Polvo would be god-tier if they didn't have so many purely instrumental songs
Vocal melodies are essential for the best of the best, without it, you are simply serving a meal lacking the proper nutrients
I don’t know man, the first thing I thought of when I heard that first song was Polvo. Very similar drumming. Not to discredit them.
I guess some things are too good to be true
>"I like music"-tier taste
is this bait? I've been giggling at this for a whole minute
