I don't know if anyone actually follows the things posted on the Amazon Daily blog, but this post referencing a Pitchfork review of the Black Kids' new album made me chuckle because it was entirely true.
The money quote:
"...I'd rather see a quick visual gag than invest the time to read a thousand condescending words by a dude who's looking at his subject down his nose and through his ironic mustache."
The "visual gags" aside -- I'm neither here nor there on them -- I tend to read Pitchfork a fair amount, despite the fact that their writers can indeed be a bit condescending. It's refreshing to see someone else (presumably someone who's also an indie rock fan) call them out on their bullshit even if that bullshit is funny sometimes.
