why has no one made an "Onion-style" parody site for music? i thought pitchfork was for the longest time, but someone explained recently that they think they're legit.
should we start this site ourselves? i've got some ideas for articles
Why has no one made an "Onion-style" parody site for music? i thought pitchfork was for the longest time...
I'd write for it
I have a weird feeling that one exists but I can't think of what it was
>should we start this site ourselves?
If it doesn't exist then definitely
There is one you idiot. Hard Times.
The Hard Times is kinda like that but they never review music.
There already is one that puts on the persona of a befuddled 50-something-dadrocker. I don't recall the name, though-- I just know their logo makes fun of Kanye.
that's niche humor for punk dipshits
didn't know this existed, but it seems like it's not a parody of music sites, just a parody of news sites in general with more music-oriented articles than the onion
That one is too tongue and cheek. If it's going to be like the onion, it's gotta be more subtle (or at least more subtle)
this is a great idea actually
it could be a parody of Pitchfork called "Pisspoor"
There's wundergroundmusic.com
You mean, like Sup Forums?
Wasn't there that facebook group of "dadrockers" that review albums
call it pitchpork
>that's niche humor for punk dipshits
No it isn't.
It's the closest thing to The Onion for music that exists.
Didn't The Onion do a great article about Pitchfork giving music a 6/10 and not being better on the whole than some meme album, made me crack up
theonion.com
>In the end, though music can be brilliant at times, the whole medium comes off as derivative of Pavement.
wouldn't do well.
irrelevant opinion
ok thats actually genius
There's this website, but that's about it
no its true. carles already did something like that with hipster-runoff
everybody on the internet who cares about this shit is already ironic now.
here's some of my headlines/ideas for articles:
Thom Yorke Continues to Release Music That Isn't OK Computer or Kid A
Bruce Springsteen Pays Tribute to Todd Rundgren Only to Find Out That He Isn't Dead
The Avalanches Die Suddenly, Tragically in a Landslide
Brian Wilson Fired From Gerber for Fucking With Formula
William Basinski Reissues The Disintegration Loops.
Willa Basink eisses Te Disintgrtio Loop
Wll Bain iss e iintgrti op
l Bn s ntg p
Those are p good user.
Avalanches one is kinda lame tho
Haha, genius
There was a really good parody a while back where instead of rating it of quality it rated it based on similarity Kanye West.
bump
yeah, it seemed funnier in my head
Would love to see this happen. Bumperino
Hard Times is funny and they've earnt their success through hard work
like you said pitchfork reads as this a lot already, espcially older reviews
Does anyone remember the old Pitchfork review where the guy gave it a terrible rating because he didn't listen to it correctly? (something along those lines) I have to read that again
i thought it was the funniest one besides the disintegration loops one
it seemed kinda lame at first but for some reason the more i thought about it the funnier it got to me
>why has no one made an "Onion-style" parody site for music?
Almost every place that talk about music is like this
I remember when Matt would play my friends garage on a thursday night with ZP. Now he's making the big bucks making fun of punk.
