Pitchfork Cobaggery Watch throws down- e me at 3bulls/gmail. If you have any takes on any of the songs, send them along and we will include- this will allow some picking and choosing while myself and maybe my cohorts slog through the entire thing.
Is UC in this year? Seitz is gonna join in. I work on a list and we pass it back and forth, or you can just e-mail me your feelings on this business and I will add.
Also, I project that battle rap gonna street this week. Devastating.
No speakers, man.
But I’ve got Downy woodpeckers and nuthatches showing up at the feeder, so there’s that.

How about if I just review a song from my recently digitized vinyl that is peripherally related, maybe, to the Pfork song?
Also, I project that battle rap gonna street this week. Devastating.
FRIDGE NOTE TO PINKO:
Input required.
Robots restless.
Instruments amassing.
Countdown to launch.
Let me know if the e-mail went through.
I got an email from Pinko. However, the picture magic remains unattainable…The code gets deleted when the comment is updated.

plover, it is a mystery. I think not through clicking the pencil icon, but through pulling up the comment in the dashboard. So you are not editing it in this window, but the window that exists in the mind of the blog.
There is only one solution: usernames for everyone!
It’s probably the only way I could ever post a comment on Delish or Disgust.
I also tried editing the comment from the dashboard, he alsoed.
No dice, wordpress explained.

I think WordPress also authored my CAD software, as I am trying a complicated referencing scheme and getting a similar response, every time.
FRUSTRATING.
Like trying to comment on DorD.
Um, WordPress likes me? (For the moment…) Perhaps WordPress is sick of mammals?
I did use the dashboard quick edit thingie.
Still seems to work…
Cool! Now post a picture of a zombie!

I can only do it in the posts I put up.
fish and thunder, where are you trying this? The urls for both your blogs are at Blogspot, not WordPress.
Pinko, I assume, is a victim of the Curse of Big Texas Cinnamon Bun.
for zombie:
sekrit backdoor behind the sekrit header, but I was wrong, it isn’t working for me either…
sekrit backdoor of 3bulls that is
That is so plover. KENTISH plover. I wonder.
Test:
So how does the “img” button work for the coding? Do you use that, or post everything typity typity??
I used the “img” button, then added the “title” attribute (i.e. the pop-up text) by hand.
I assume you cut and pasted the code from my comment as yours also has the link. You add the link separately, and as you presumably saw, you put the usual “a” tag around the “img” tag.
At least you seem to have escaped the Cinnamon Bun Curse…
I just noticed that, going by the IP addresses, it was fish, not Pinko, that was cursed — and he’s not anywhere near Texas. Though he’s close enough to DC to be at hazard from the eddies of eldritch shenanigans spun off from there.
I tried typing and using the img button. Do we have less equal status in our admin? I see where this is going. Four legs good two legs better. Fins are right out.
It is true that Pinko and I both have “administrator” status and the Ombudsaccounts do not. Don’t ombudses have an arbitrary number of pseudopods though? Or, at least, the ombudses around here?
I can usually find enough spare limbs laying around to qualify under any arbitrary numbers Pinko might set.
Plover, I was trying it in the Delish and Disgust Bloody Caesar post that I put up.
I must therefore conclude that some of us are less equal than others, as the fishy one posited.

Pinko, when are you going to post? I would love to tackle 20 songs but might not be able to do this until end of next week.
I just sent you an electronic missive- hopefully to a functional address. Lemme know!
If I weren’t travelling shortly I might try a few myself. “Starts out well but quickly turns boring/derivative/pretentious.”
Like when you press play?
Actually I listened to the first couple (100 and 99) and they were good for the first 30 seconds each. Then they suddenly started doing musically stupid things and I got bored and went to do something else.
that should be the Mandos review of ALL 100 SONGS.
I am hoping to do at least one 20-song segment next week, although I agree that Mandos pretty much reviewed all 100 songs in one fell swoop.
I see that yglesias battle rap promises are the 2011 version of MGT promises of yesteryear.
Talk to Mendacious D! It exists on acetate!
Mendacious D is living in the glow of Young Love, and is unable to complete any other tasks.
I’m going to use that as an excuse, too, zrm.

Merry Christmas hippies, I guess you got some style, ain’t batle rapped with you, in a long long while, i know that i been missin all the chunder you been dissin but i never understand a thing you say anyway

I love how clueless David Gregory looks in my header.
Also, is Chuck Todd a damn dwarf?
Needs more citrus head, but I still love it. David Gregory is super dumb. I mean, really really really stupid. Sorry, DG!
Happy Boxing Day!
PINKO!
if you be in my town, i be throwin up not down, my rhymes are superior, your beer is inferior, i’m going shopping now
To you too, G.S.

Yah, I was a sucker for “Good Life” and “Pumped Up Kicks.” Will I ever grow up?
Pumped Up Kicks came out last year believe it or not, it just to 8 months to blow up. Nutpunchfork were too cool for it anyway once everyone hummed along. I’m be honest- the Etta James sampling Flo Rida song I like. Also the euro-cheese “Hello” by Martin Solveig and Dragonette. I was all “what the hell is this?” and then I saw that it blew up because of some gum commercial but in Europe was huge, so I saw the video and Novak Djokovic is in it and 44 million people had watched it before me.
If this thread is about music, and it’s possible that it’s not because of all the inbred chatter, then I suggest you listen to a band from South Africa called Die Antwoord. Probably the best rapper on the planet at the moment, but it’s like, super lame and yet just so futuristic and def. Evil Boy. Enter the Ninja. Ritch Bitch. Annie demands you listen, and laugh, and understand Annie perhaps a bit. They got rich off their joke, lol. Sigh.
Yes, I used the alternate spelling for rich. But it looks better with a t.
Anniepants,
If you read our Pitchfork Watch last year, er the one we took a year to post, you’ll see that we were forced to listen to Die Antwoord. Sad that their DJ died.
Sadly, I suspect that doesn’t translate as “The Ant Word”. Somewhere there is an ant that is missing her word.
Also, it probably doesn’t translate as “The Antwards” as in “the direction that leads toward the ants”, though I’m sure that ought to be a word in some language or other.
Is annie’s nom de rap “die anniewoord”? Maybe “die anntiwoord”? Pinko’s presumably alternates between “Die Chunderwoord” and “Die Porkwoord”…
Ants of the woord unite!
Die Anntiwoord. Awesome. I’m a Templar, yo, my life is like a chunder Crusade, hahaha!
Ants don’t want to lose their chains.
