    you mean like...Animal Collective? though damnit, I will give Strawberry Jam a listen, anybody who likes Here Comes the Indian needs their head examined.
    Strawberry Jam needs to be listened to once then dismissed as noise then listened to again on an ipod walking around a major metropolitan city and then you will finally get it's awesomeness.
    I’ve seen Pearl Jam 25 times, Eddie Vedder 9 times, and Brad once.

    read the review of RADIOHEAD's KID A by pitchfork.

    it is the most biased and unprofessional and cringe worthy attempt at a review i've ever stubled across.

    Pitchfork (in general) are for the fucking hipster association - the one i feel a flying fuck for.

    and yes, their reviews of pearl jam's albums are just terrible. i guess PJ are to dated to be hip/relevant.

    Here is a list of bands that are amazing but have been bashed by this steaming turd known as Pitchfork

    Jet
    Jet are possibly the biggest pile of shit ever to reach my ears. Pitchfork are elitist twats for sure but at least the music they champion is good.

    hehe. I have to be in the right mood for "dope inadvertandly says something completely accurate with the intention of being sarcastic", and luckily I was when I read this.

    Someone beat me to posting the Onion article, so I dont have much to say...but Im listening to that Animal Collective record for the first time today and Im willing to bet its not as spanktastic as they think. :)
    "Many of Pearl Jam's most loyal fans are teenagers who do not have the money to pay the $50 or more that is often charged today for tickets to a popular concert...we have made a conscious decision that we do not want to put the price of our concerts out of the reach of many of our fans." 6/94
