Ovrot 03.04.11	They edited my wikipedia pages. I edited there faces.
pmmets07 03.04.11	http://www.xeasycorex.net/ it's everything wrong with pop-punk with a few good bands scattered in there
omnipanzer 03.04.11	I'm going to... what was the topic again...
alt 03.04.11	the only reviews i ever care to read anymore are at p4k and cmg.
Uranium 03.04.11	There are a lot of assholes here.
omnipanzer 03.04.11	I honestly can't think of an asshole review on pitchfork... oh wait magnetic zeroes nm your a douche.
Defeater 03.04.11	"There are a lot of assholes here." my bad
hykudos 03.04.11	FUCK YOU ASSHOLE
Defeater 03.04.11	YEAH, BITE ME
omnipanzer 03.04.11	asshole
americanmusicmachine 03.04.11	dnt go or you make me sad face : - (
Defeater 03.04.11	KIM, KIM!! WHY DON'T YOU LIKE ME?
Josh D. 03.04.11	Switching to bitchfork, eh? I'd switch to dongs because dudes like beer as much as I, but I still like flesh clams :/
DinoX 03.04.11	Nobody gives a fuck if you want to switch to bitchfork. If you stay here the people will treat you like shit yes, but they only do so until you realize that they are trying to help you improve your music taste. The people on here are damn funny and witty
omnipanzer 03.04.11	FYI if you suck less and ignore the introwebz people are less meaner to you JS. --------------------------- < example of why your leaving right? oh boo -------------< asshole
KeithStone582 03.04.11	Sputnikmusic= home for assholes It all makes sense now.
rawrmonster 03.04.11	@ omnipanzer I don't understand you're magnetic zeroes comment. please elaborate.
Josh D. 03.04.11	@this guy @thatguy @at hey qhast
Spec 03.04.11	Hahahahahahahahahaha Get the fuck out of here.
iwubmoosik 03.04.11	im switching to geico
rawrmonster 03.04.11	shit sorry I deleted alts comment. I'm on an ipod
Josh D. 03.04.11	I'm switching to decoc-...decaf.
pmmets07 03.04.11	seriously though, fuck what other people think on this site. i've been posting lists with like the same 5 bands for the past 2 months and people went from saying how bad my lists are to not giving a fuck about them
alt 03.04.11	it's karma for what i did to someguest last week. oh well.
iSkane 03.04.11	I'll agree that most of the people here are douche bags. Like, huge ones, but Pitchfork doesn't do it for me. It doesn't have a community, at all. You can't even sign up for an account. It's honestly just a place to read reviews. Plus, it doesn't have as many reviews as Sputnik does. I honestly visit both.
rawrmonster 03.04.11	from "dnt go" to "if you suck less people are less mean to you" in 4 comments. nice
wyankeif1337 03.04.11	you should go to metal archives, people are really nice and non-elitist there
Grignard 03.04.11	Yeah, go check out some of the reviews on Pitchfork. I read the review of Gospel's The Moon Is a Dead World that denounced an entire genre with the statement, "lets face it, prog is lame" or something along that line. Lets face it-that is pretty unprofessional. But, a list announcing your leaving when you are not well known, as am I, is pretty pointless besides getting spammed by folks.
couldwinarabbit 03.04.11	can you leave already.
Awesomesauce 03.04.11	Enjoy your fixie and pseudo retro clothing.
Yazz_Flute 03.04.11	who are you
Josh D. 03.04.11	Yeah, bitch, enjoy liking music we don't, I hate you, bye.
Jebull 03.04.11	lol.
Grignard 03.04.11	Is there really any site that has a nice and friendly internet community, save facebook?
rawrmonster 03.04.11	@ grignard just because i'm not well known in this community means I shouldn't post a list?
Josh D. 03.04.11	I've seen it, it's nice.
omnipanzer 03.04.11	"I don't understand you're magnetic zeroes comment. please elaborate." Literally go read the pitchfork review for the "Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros" album and tell me then that we are so bad. the reviewer had a total agenda and yet it was still featured. It's an embarrassment to music journalism and if I were in charge of that site it never would have been posted. It's not a great album but that was a lambasteing and not objective in any way.
Grignard 03.04.11	@ rawrmonster: look at andcas comment...pretty evident reason not to even bother lol you are just gonna get the crap trolled out of you, if that is what you want then more power to you brother!
omnipanzer 03.04.11	"Is there really any site that has a nice and friendly internet community, save facebook?" no, not really. bunch of idiots like us spouting stupid shit really.
iwubmoosik 03.04.11	YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP YOP
Grignard 03.04.11	haha well, i think that omnipanzer's ^ comment sums this up
omnipanzer 03.04.11	^ ty Grinard ;^) I'm getting a gateway time out when I do a search but it was ALL about Alex Ebert and how he's fake and I'm a robot riding on coat tails. My question through the entire article was... can a musician not go with a different style of music and succeed ever? It was really vindictive and off sides IMO. It was no joke music journalism at it's lowest imo and really made me a little sick to my stomach. It is what ultimately made me decide that Sput was the place for me and I have yet to be proved wrong. But if it is not for you then Que Sera Sera sir. If that is where you think you will be happiest so be it. Your list title just kind of set me off a bit. if Sputnik isn't the place for you that means nothing to me but Pitchfork has absolutely become a den of iniquity as far as I'm concerned.
acorncheese 03.04.11	I code for pitchfork
omnipanzer 03.04.11	bastard you most be the reason for the 404
omnipanzer 03.04.11	found it ;^) http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/13852-up-from-below/ I'm like a fucking pit-bull if your lucky enough to get my ire up...
TheBuzzKiller 03.04.11	who doesnt love bitchfork...er I mean pitchfork
rawrmonster 03.04.11	tried to look for the review, said server wasn't responding, and then I came back here. at least here works, but i feel that here when I post a list asking for recs I do get some recs but with those three recs comes a wall of completely idiotic or uselessly sarcastic (sarcasm doesn't work very well in text form people. remember that) comments that, when I reply, winds up having them calling me oblivious, dissing my taste in music, etc. it just annoys the crap out of me
gabethepiratesquid 03.04.11	Hahaha, I love the assholeness of this site. It feels like home, you fucking dickhead. Go get a better music taste then maybe you won't feel the need to BAW
MassiveAttack 03.04.11	There are some fantastic reviews on pitchfork and some that are obstinately one-sided; as if the writer knew from the get-go what to expect and in turn do not give a fair analyze.
Uranium 03.04.11	best review evar
rawrmonster 03.04.11	@ gabethesquidwhatever see? I can't tell if this is sarcasm or he's just being an asshole. it doesn't work
Grignard 03.04.11	yeah, sometimes people have senseless responses. My advice is just do some digging by reading reviews and checking out bands with similar sounds. Over all just have an open mind when checking stuff out and don't throw it out the window if it is not what you like.
Grignard 03.04.11	Oh and I hate you and eat my shit and such...I guess
North0House2 03.04.11	I'm switching to Life Alert. Now leave me alone so I can wriggle in my bathtub since I've fallen and I can't get up.
Uranium 03.04.11	Yea, now you eat his shit and like it
pizzamachine 03.04.11	How could one not?
acorncheese 03.04.11	It should be required to have life alert or a similar product. I have life alert.
North0House2 03.04.11	I've had Medicare, but that doesn't cut it for me. I need instant medical attention at the push of a button.
Defeater 03.04.11	"I wanna see you suck pitchforks dick, I know you fucking love it bitch." ahahaha I feel fucking retarded for knowing where this line is from
omnipanzer 03.04.11	"@ gabethesquidwhatever see? I can't tell if this is sarcasm or he's just being an asshole. it doesn't work" Who cares? Seriously... it's the introwebz and there are shit loads of kids on here. Ya gotts to grow a pair bro. You learn who you can listen to and who to blow off (no offense alcholachlach) andcas, saty, pit (when he feels like it), hans, redsky, hep, vedder, balls, maniac, fiet, Pizzamachine. matalicopeth, seifer, TheEnigma, Nagrarok ------< this guy), MassiveAttack, Josh D. (if you hate good music), silentpotato, PuddlesPuddles, robertsona, Aod, fuck even dryden has his merits if you like that shit ;^P... I mean really the list just goes on and on (sorry to anyone I missed). If you grow some thicker skin and see through the shenanigans. but this is a statement in the general more than it is just to you sir. These guys are all great IMHO.
Defeater 03.04.11	gabe's pissed off brett got kicked off american idol
acorncheese 03.04.11	"I need instant medical attention at the push of a button." Why wouldn't everyone want that?

rawrmonster 03.04.11	fuck whatever I'll just stay. I'll try reviewing. what should I review though....
acorncheese 03.04.11	"Well, if you don't have fingers, you're kinda screwed." Now you're just being silly.
omnipanzer 03.04.11	Pop Will Eat Itself - Ich Bien Mien Auslander if I had my Drothers

iwubmoosik 03.04.11	review what you want to review, otherwise it wont be as genuine
omnipanzer 03.04.11	^ lol aids should have absolutely been on the list.
omnipanzer 03.04.11	and sorry (too many beers) Pop Will Eat Itself - Dos Dedos Mis Amigos other was a song from aforementioned album.

nick77 03.04.11	Best thing about this site.... people like you getting shredded. Quiero una manzana. My Spanish is average pero, no tango un perro...
nick77 03.04.11	Tango..... damn my phone.... *tengo
MassiveAttack 03.04.11	OMNI APPROVED
iwubmoosik 03.04.11	"Tango..... damn my phone.... *tengo" wanted to make a negative comment about dancing with your dog, but dogs are the best dancers of all time
rawrmonster 03.04.11	dammit what should I review
bab808 03.04.11	you can hate on pitchfork all you want for having a few shitty reviews, but the reason they're so popular is that they do have plenty of good writers and overall good taste. sure they might have a few lousy reviews (like the magnetic zeroes review) that really makes them look bad, but as a whole, they do justice to music journalism in that each of their writers has a unique voice. if you look at a lot of the reviews on other sites they all say the same things about the same bands. pitchfork has a lot of personality and it's refreshing. the reason this site is so attractive as well is that it has a community. so why not just leave pitchfork alone and be content that we have sputnik to talk to one another.
Gorification 03.04.11	pussying out already? ive been here for over a year and im not very liked around here. not about to leave.
bungy 03.04.11	it's true I hate Gorification
BloodSweatandBeers 03.04.11	I like this site, just don't take what anyone says too seriously and have fun with it. If someone says your taste sucks, then find an album they've 5'd and say it sucks dickcheese.
Strider 03.04.11	Pitchfork's gay...
Remer17 03.04.11	People are assholes to me too because I don't listen to underground enough music. Don't take it too seriously (although I've been guilty of not taking my own advise).
Strider 03.04.11	what Remer said
SeaAnemone 03.04.11	lol "underground enough" music...
Motiv3 03.04.11	fuck this shit, im going to bitchfork.
Remer17 03.04.11	;-)
alachlahol 03.04.11	JUST LOOK AT POSTS BY PEOPLE LIKE GORIFICATION AND REMER17 AND YOULL WANT TO LEAVE I SHOULD HAVE LEFT A LONG TIME AGO
Remer17 03.04.11	I want to sex you up alachlahol.
SeaAnemone 03.04.11	many people are mistaken... you CAN have shitty taste and have everyone here accept you. It's all about whether you actually add something, anything, to the site. I mean look at theacademy, perfect example; has some of the most horrific taste I've ever seen, but he's occasionally funny and adds to a lot of discussions (but mostly he just manages moaropeth). If you're coming to Sputnik for people to accept you (lol sad) you're here for the wrong reason. I mean for like a year and a half I was a user that nobody gave a fuck about and was sometimes treated badly by "assholes" for just being here... but did I care? Ummm no, I was learning about / listening to great (well, moderately better than some) music. Or something.
MO 03.04.11	Yea seriously, you think you have it bad? Check out my username!! I get so much shit for it it's ridiculous. But I'm staying cause there are some great users here and I've found some awesome tunes. While I agree it wasn't the best choice for a site/community like this, kinda figured I'd get ripped for it, I don't care. Just here to find good tunez.
MO 03.04.11	PS shout out to bungy and Ire who I know love my username with all their hearts
Hawks 03.04.11	There's a lot more cool people here than assholes. It's definitely annoying, but you'll learn to ignore it. Someone is going to give you shit no matter what you do. It may piss you off at times, but fuck it, it's just the internet.
omnipanzer 03.04.11	"I want to sex you up alachlahol." I actually own that CD /hang head in shame.
SeaAnemone 03.04.11	on second thought... the fact that Hawks and Metallicopeth (lol'ed just typing that) agree with me make me wanna take back everythig I said. Yeah take it all back. Except for the part about theacademy having horrific taste.
Hawks 03.04.11	Luv u 2 Sea!
BloodSweatandBeers 03.04.11	lol
MO 03.04.11	glad you love my name as much as the next user Sea
couldwinarabbit 03.04.11	@Sea having good taste does get people to like you more though.
SloppyMilkshake 03.04.11	It's the internet dude. People are assholes no matter which site you go to.
porch 03.04.11	hey spec do you have amnesia
porch 03.04.11	"on a scale of 1-10, how closed minded are you compared to sputnik? i got tired of that shit and came here"
Counterfeit 03.04.11	Limp Bizkit rules.
ffs 03.04.11	what a baby
alachlahol 03.04.11	spec went to ultimate guitar and came back after a day cause he realized people will hate him no matter where he goes
Inveigh 03.04.11	cba to read this entire thread.. but... "i bought a pitchfork music festival shirt at goodwill for a buck. A BUCK. IT'S AMERICAN APPAREL. FUCK SPUTNIK" well i mean Pitchfork and American Apparel are based in Chicago so it makes sense. especially since AA clothes are notoriously inexpensive anyways.
Aids 03.04.11	one post for each of the original 151 pokemon! yay!
Aids 03.04.11	Inveigh, your post is Mew. alachlahol got Mewtwo though, lucky guy.
Inveigh 03.04.11	what is a pokemon
bungy 03.04.11	I wish I got Hitmonlee. He's resistant against bug, but weak against flying. really glad I got this pokedex app
AnotherBrick 03.04.11	fucking A bungy. why the hell dont you just go to pitchfork and never come back? and bring that damn gerbil of yours
Counterfeit 03.04.11	anotherspick
AnotherBrick 03.04.11	anotherprick anotherdick anotherhick
Ire 03.04.11	people on this site are so silly
bungy 03.04.11	HE IS NOT A GERBIL
Counterfeit 03.04.11	i never claimed to be clever
couldwinarabbit 03.05.11	what I never understood is why people on this site think that pitchfork reviews aren't good.
SloppyMilkshake 03.05.11	They've penned some embarrassingly awful reviews. Like the "Kid A" one for example...in all honesty, that alone is enough to give that site a bad reputation.
bungy 03.05.11	I really like pitchfork's columns, interviews and guest lists
Zanders 03.05.11	The reviews there are really no worse than some of the ones here. Sure, some of their opinions are bullshit, but I can say the same about many other sites including this one. Although there's one major gripe that I have with Pitchfork, and it's the fact that they have removed certain positive reviews of bands they don't deem hip anymore. Anyway, Sputnik is a little too obsessed with hardcore related genres for me, but I still find people I can agree with. I'm more here to rate and discuss the music I already like, though. rawrmonster, have you ever been to RateYourMusic?
rawrmonster 03.06.11	no I haven't, but like three people have told me to go there. what is it?
Zanders 03.06.11	http://rateyourmusic.com/
SloppyMilkshake 03.06.11	As far as reviews go, they're definitely not as professional. That being said, they're a bit more laid back. I use Rateyourmusic as more of a database though, since it's a lot more accurate and complete than Sputnik's, though I still come here for the reviews. And yeah, Sputnik has their own elitist mentality of sorts, but you'll find that on nearly any music website. The thing with Pitchfork is just how badly they shove opinions down the userbase's throats. I just hate how they hype bands/trash on bands. Makes independent music seem very pretentious. And with their reviews, they often spend a lot more time on band history/ethics than the actual albums. You'll find some of that here, but I think the more professional reviewers here do a good job of being holistic.
couldwinarabbit 03.06.11	lol comparing elitism on Sputnik to RYM
lancebramsay 03.06.11	Please stay, I enjoy whining
Firestarter 03.06.11	Check out their review of The Fragile by NIN, its ruthless. They really don't get it http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/5799-the-fragile/
HighandDriving 03.06.11	All you kids should go to Absolutepunk.net
Counterfeit 03.06.11	youre all faggots stfu
HighandDriving 03.06.11	stfu ugly
spillingmercury 03.06.11	wow. A music site with elitist pricks. Like that's never happened before. Sorry dear.
UnnamedOcean 03.06.11	Fuck this I'm going to Myspace. Wait.
HighandDriving 03.06.11	Wait, you already have that covered....fag.
North0House2 03.06.11	Myspace sucks more now. I think the scene kids even ditched it.
attack30s 03.06.11	"I'm switching to Pitchfork cause trolls on this website are hurting my feelings"
eleventhsun 03.06.11	Ive been reading this site for a long time. I don't post that much, but will have to say this place is the best Ive found. The reviews are top notch, and my music taste and collection has multiplied so much since reading here. I find I even read reviews of bands and genres I don't like Just my two cents.
