#Pitchfork readers can now score albums with new #subscription model

The #music platform is opening up a comments section, allowing readers to score and debate releases on the site.

https://ra.co/news/84355

I don't begrudge #Pitchfork for looking for cash via subscriptions, but they've done this super backwards, imo.

a) They implemented some sort of community review system that literally no one asked for

b) They hid reviews behind their subscription paywall and are touting the community review features as the main attraction

I think they're right that the reviews are their draw -- their range is pretty eclectic these days, and they have some great writers -- but the quantity of reviews is really sporadic since the cutbacks, hardly enough to justify 5 bucks a month.

And the community review feature actually makes me LESS likely to pay that 5 bucks, not more. I don't want it, I don't need it.

If you're going to charge 5 bucks a month, then make it a legit publication again. Take the features and the interviews and some of the special items back to the pre-layoff levels.

Don't try and charge a monthly fee when your material is a husk of what it once was.

Update and call to action from the Condé Nast Union:

Stand with Condé Nast Union 🚨 We’re calling on you to sign our petition telling management to reinstate the Fired Four, reverse the suspensions, and end the union busting.

Sign here: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell-conde-bosses-to-reinstate-the-fired-four-reverse-the-suspensions-and-end-the-union-busting?source=direct_link&

This began when Condé Nast laid off the staff from Teen Vogue. Union members demanded answers from management. Management illegally fired four organizers for engaging in protected activity.

Yeah, alright, that’s enough. Until I hear otherwise from the union, I’m boycotting all Condé Nast publications.

This headline might be the greatest example ever of someone thinking their personal and very specific anxieties are newsworthy. It's an almost transcendental instance of #music critic navel-gazing. Even the #Pitchfork editors must be in awe.

I appreciate that I can still dip into #Pitchfork now and again and remember how incredibly smart and incredibly wrong they are over there. 6.8, my aunt Fannie.

For me, the best music was made in the '80s (pop/rock), some alternative rock in the 1990s and early 2000s, and then the Pitchfork indie-era between 2003-2012 (folk, experim. electronic).

Since then, it has been one song here, one song there that I like. Maybe I'm difficult, or old. But given that most GenZ listen to older music too according to Spotify, I think I'm on the right side of things. We currently live in a cultural void.

"Boone’s music is an invasive species in the garden of good taste"

Damn, that's a cold line.

I feel like #Pitchfork has had a bit more edge in their reviews lately, which is kind of refreshing -- although this album seems like an easy punching bag, tbh.

🎸🎤 Oh look, another rock legend has left us, and Pitchfork's here to remind us that the 'studioasinstrument' is a real thing. 🙄 But hey, at least they managed to squeeze in the news between their ✨exclusive✨ newsletter sign-ups and recycled playlists. 🎶💔

Pitchfork Launches Quarterly Print Zine

I love how quickly we moved from ‘trumps just saying he’ll do those things’ we all knew he would do as fast as possible to ‘oh he’s done WHAT’

When this is all over I hope we drag all the journalists who excused or fluffed trump and musk to the galllows with them. #uspol

Where’s my #pitchfork emoji

Just learned that a bunch of folks formerly involved at #Pitchfork, upon its sidelining by Conde Nast last year, started a new venture called "Hearing Things":

https://www.hearingthings.co/

Worth checking out. I've been subscribing to #TheQuietus for a minute now, but it's nice to see some of these familiar names.

(I know P-fork is controversial --- not really looking to debate the publication's value, just share what I learned for those who might be interested.)

#Music

Last week, #Pitchfork gave #PinkFloyd Wish You Were Here a 10.0. As someone who mostly failed to appreciate punk and new wave in the late 70s because my tribe were still into progressive rock, I have to dissent from this.

I'd give 10.0 to The Wall and DSOTM (Pitchfork rated it lower at 9.3), but I've always found WYWH a mixed bag. The title track is a favourite, and I'm still happy to sit through the Shine On suites, but Have a Cigar and Welcome To The Machine are grim AOR nonsense.

Fight me.

Basic Channel: BCD Album Review | Pitchfork

One of my favourite albums, which got me hooked on dub-techno. I ended up buying most of the Basic Channel albums.

Some analysis where markets go to. Pitchforks, or also called Medianlines, are a forgotten trading analysis technique. Fun Fact: I love Beasty §8-)

Yep. I'm old 👴

#Pitchfork posted 26 contenders for the 2024 #song of #summer.

I've not heard a single one of these #songs.

Additionally, I've only heard of 5 of the artists listed.

Of those 5 artists, I only know 1 song they sing - Kesha has a song called Time or Clocks I think. I won't cheat to save my vanity by looking it up.

Someone help me to the couch, my hip hurts when it's raining like this.

Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Journalists - by Stephen Macaulay

Let’s see.

The Los Angeles Times laid off >20% of the people who work in its newsroom. Line up five people. One is given a cardboard box. About 115 people got boxes.

Over at Time magazine, the CEO sent out a memo to staff that says, in part, “We must continue incre...

I've been picking on #CaseyNewton a lot recently over his coverage of SubStack's recent freedom of expression controversy. So it's only fair to point out that Platformer is generally a good publication, to which I still subscribe. His article on the shuttering of iconic music magazine Pitchfork, for example, is timely and insightful;
