Why must every news item be an attempt to show the writer's comedic talent? I've never laughed at anything they've written except when they try to express their nuanced political views amidst some information on the new wolf eyes tour or something to that effect.

This is The Onion we're talking about, right? The comedic newspaper?

And yes, Pitchfork news blurbs are incredibly irritating.

All the received wisdom asides are awful.

And if Angus Dawson from Resident Advisor is reading this: You're guilty too, bub!

admittedly nothing to do with pitchfork, but hey, this can be a thread for calling out music reviewers for tendencies towards unnecessary, unfunny jokes, no?
