OFFICIAL and accurate 2016 BNM Tally: 36 Nights since last BNM: 1
The most wonderful time of the night, every night, right now. Here it is, the nightly P4K thread. Time to get comfy.
>Tonight's Top Stories -This thread stands with Kesha eternally -Frank fails to top Radiohead/Chance -Chris Brown arrested for assault -This thread hypes and supports DIIV, Danny Brown, Nick Cave, and Bon Iver. -/p4k/ forever
p4k shill, could we get an update on the op? maybe crowdsource some new nicknames. this is the new masthead.(pitchfork.com/masthead/)
maybe we can avoid some of the meanness, eg don't make any mention of jayson green's ded kid, but yes mention mark richardson's demotion. he went from eic to exec. editor when conde nast took over.
btw these from the OP aren't on the masthead, but still contribute regularly to p4k
Aaron Garcia
So I have two thoughts 1) If someone has the time/ patience to run through recent nightly rundowns and see who the most frequent reviewers are, that would be great 2) I'm not sure where we are currently at, but not too long ago I did hit the character limit with the OP so if we change things, we will have to keep the length in mind
Brayden Miller
i'm def. not in charge of who stays or goes, but yeah those can be grandfathered in, and we don't have to add everyone new. lots are literally who's.
Cooper Diaz
Ian also is still around Ideally, if there are any changes, have a few of the LEGENDS of p4k and then try to do the current generation of p4k reviewers
Isaac Phillips
>1) If someone has the time/ patience to run through recent nightly rundowns and see who the most frequent reviewers are, that would be great i'm up for this. how far back? till jan 2016?
Lincoln Wright
>kris ex gets a shoutout in the OP
NO.
Nolan Howard
kris ex gets my vote. he's the new meme rap guy.
Samuel Martinez
As far back as you're willing to go or until you get a sense of which writers do most of the work Thanks senpai
Kevin Morgan
Marc Hogan probably deserves to be in the op, he's been with pitchfork since 2004.
Everyone else either isn't a reviewer or hasn't written more than 50 pieces.
kris ex is good, as is seth colter wallis.
I would remove titus andronicus beinng robbed and dead sara 8.3 bnm from the op because those are the catchphrases of posters. Thank you.
David Russell
>>Zoe "¡DALE!" Camp? Zoe contributes regularly to my jizz rag, if you know what I mean haha, just kidding, i love and respect women when i'm not on this internet website
Caleb Nguyen
>Everyone else either isn't a reviewer or hasn't written more than 50 pieces. objectively wrong for at least a few of those (e.g., Stephen Deusner has contributed for about that long as well, but without being hired by Pitchfork directly)
Jacob Ramirez
I was talking about the people in the masthead link. the writers in the op should stay put, no matter their current work status or review count or anything else.
Levi Lee
So I just quickly looked over these guys. I'd say the only ones we should add to the OP are Hogan and Pelly. Hogan has 438 reviews under his belt. Pelly, while only having a modest 38 reviews, already has four BNMs. Pretty sure we'll more of her and with important reviews.
Grayson Green
Jenn Pelly is the new Zoe sorry if this offends
Nathaniel Martin
Also, while not quite ready, Jillian Mapes is someone to watch out for.
Gabriel Johnson
L E W D E W D
Alexander Peterson
DELETE THIS
She doesn't even meme
Kayden Butler
how about this? too many? too few? did i delete someone's fave?
Ian Cohen Ryan Dombal Jayson Greene Brandon Stosuy Kim Kelly Meaghan Garvey Andy Beta Zoe Camp Philip Sherburne Stephen Deusner Laura Snapes Jenn Pelly Mark Hogan kris ex (we should cap his name just to piss him off)
>Also, while not quite ready, Jillian Mapes is someone to watch out for. i like jillian. off the top of my head, she had the beyonce review, the beach house feature and the "true love waits" best new track. also kinda a thicc qt, kinda. we can add her.
Adrian Thompson
also mark richardson, sam sodomsky. kevin lozano has lots of reviews too.
Noah King
Jillian also did the Mitski review I'd include Mark Richardson. He doesn't get used much anymore, but usually his reviews are for important stuff.
Colton Brooks
zoe is a lesbian
Daniel Clark
good start
get rid of all the retired ones though (r.i.p. in peace ;_;7) remove Meaghan Garvey since she's gone, too, add Mark Richardson, Grayson Currin, Brian Howe, and Jillian Mapes
Blake Brooks
>He doesn't get used much anymore, but usually his reviews are for important stuff.
his review of Wildflower was one the better ones of the year
Aaron Young
She just hasn't met the right man yet
[spoiler]me btw (By The Way)[/spoiler]
Jacob Lewis
I thought this was common knowledge
Landon Fisher
>Mark Hogan Marc
just an fyi if you end up writing the new OP
Aaron Rodriguez

How does this look?
Carson Cook
How do they decide what 'classic' album to review each week? Or is it just random?
Asher Gomez
I agree. He's definitely one of my favorite Pitchfork reviewers, if not one of my favorite music writers in general. His only shameful moment was that Universal Themes review but I bet he was forced into that tbqh.
Hunter Evans
Jenn Pelly is to lady music scoring as Meghan was to black people music scoring
Adam Myers
new list?
Ian Cohen Ryan Dombal Jayson Greene Brandon Stosuy Meaghan Garvey Andy Beta Zoe Camp Philip Sherburne Stephen Deusner Laura Snapes Jenn Pelly Mark Hogan kris ex Mark Richardson Grayson Currin Brian Howe Jillian Mapes sam sodomsky kevin lozano seth colter wallis
as far as retiring the retirees brandon stosuy and meaghan garvey, i say keep them. i like brandon and don't like meaghan.
Jaxson Morgan
looks good. get rid of top stories maybe? or at least ditch kesha/frank/chris brown.
honestly at this point what can top radiohead/chance? maybe bon iver but i doubt it.
John Brown
looks good, shill (glad you got rid of the +@ and Dead Sara memes; they're good but they should be thread posts only) but isn't Zoe really retired since her work is still published by p4k and it's "Marc, "Not Mark", Hogan (possible nickname? Marc "Not Mark" Hogan)
now to work on your Top Stories updating skills ;^)
David Roberts
Too low desu
If Arca releases his album this year then I'd say he has a chance.
Lucas Wilson
Danny Brown
Austin Perez
So this is what I will be posting tomorrow (unless people come up with nicknames)

and >Brandon “Meme Metal” Stosuy? [retired, metal albums still won't get BNM, everyone still won't care] everything after the ?mark. looks too busy.
we can fight over some new nicknames tomorrow night.
Robert Powell
excellent
i'm shit at nicknames but maybe >Jenn "tastemaker-in-training" Pelly >Marc "Not Mark" Hogan >kris "CAPS LOCK" ex
if you want to add this writer >Kevin "who needs TMT anyways" Lozano
he seems to write reviews for stuff Tiny Mix Tapes likes to cover >Babyfather >Elysia Crampton >Palmistry >Amnesia Scanner >Fatima Al Qadiri
Levi Roberts
yeah lozano has been writing for them a lot lately. nice nickname.
