+ Weirdometer


This is funny (probably only to me). Huge pictures, no real content. The whole idea of music journalism is starting to annoy me: what's the point? So someone else can tell you what you should like? Big record labels aren't the only thing that file-sharing has made obsolete. Now that we hear about new material via the Internet, there's no role left for "journalistic" music publications except to set themselves up as arbiters of taste. In this field, it's really only a continuum between the snarky elitism of Pitchfork and the poor grammar, design, and paper stock of Kerrang.

And for the record, I'm really sorry that OiNK was shut down.
