Dear Reader,

Thanks for your letter. We always appreciate feedback from our fans. It's definitely been a wild ride as we've grown from a small little site operating out of a basement in suburban Minneapolis into the world's number one online music news and reviews site. While we've put a lot of hard work and late hours into making Pitchfork a success (just ask the Domino's guy LOL), we couldn't have done it without you, our readers.

We take your concerns very seriously, and rest assured that the editorial staff will take a good, hard look at your complaints during our next meeting. Until then, keep on rocking, and remember to check out Pitchfork for all the latest and greatest in new music. Whether we were scaling the heights of Cookie Mountain, vacationing in Illinois, dishing some serious Girl Talk, or going Loon-y for Tapes n' Tapes, it's been a great 2006, and we can't wait to see what happens next!

Cheers,
Ryan

I can't tell if it's a subtle joke or just sloppy writing that that blog's review of Finney's Timberlake review and the review itself both contain the word "adroitly."

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 16:00 (twenty years ago)

Yo, Matt - hook a dood up w/ Gears of War, how bout it?

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 16:00 (twenty years ago)

But given the two consecutive sentences that include "repugnant generalizations" I'm banking on the latter. (xpost)

― M@tt He1geson: Real Name, No Gimmicks (Matt Helgeson), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 16:01 (twenty years ago)

Alex, I'm much more bothered by that blog's use of the word "cliticized".

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 16:06 (twenty years ago)

That's for Matt AND Dan.

i wish puck would do reviews for pitchfork, but give them to judd to draw so they could be published in comic book form.

that blog started today. how did you find it?

― a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 17:15 (twenty years ago)

People who try to write in-depth criticisms of reviews still strike me as mostly proving that they have really poor reading comprehension, or at least don't really care about figuring out what the writer actually means.

Apparently "cliticize" is a real linguistic term?

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 18:58 (twenty years ago)

You wacky punster.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:00 (twenty years ago)

Er, no pun intended.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:05 (twenty years ago)

The actual definition of "cliticize" is much more boring than it should be.

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:21 (twenty years ago)

yeah cliticize seems like it should be a hilariously ill-advised feminist flip on a 'male' word like history/herstory

"Adroitly, Finney clothes repugnant generalizations in content that actually engages Timberlake’s stylistic influences just as a frozen Salisbury steak can hide in the thickening skin of cafeteria gravy."

haha apparently

― deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 20:48 (twenty years ago)

When a review of a pop record contains an admission that pop music isn’t served by ambition or artistry, does it serve to do anything but undermine the credibility of the author? Finney’s review is somewhat articulate, adorned with cliticized terms and mapping every flaw to keep his praise of this shitbomb from direct criticism. Finney’s grasp falls short of his reach; the measure by which makes no difference.

Dominique Leone is given the unfortunate task of reviewing an iTunes only release of an LCD Soundsystem workout mix commissioned by Nike™. You can even print out your own cover art with the Nike™ swooshtika® on it. Leone structures [b]her[/b] review of 45:33 around a workout routine.
