Random Music Talk CXV: Kill Em All

Holy FUCK the new Pitchfork layout is bad. They've decided to eschew a really neat, compact layout for the hipster web 2.0ugh look. FFS

I only look at Pitchfork once or twice in 2 months so i guess it's fine.

I guess it's appropriate that they're trying to hide their reviews.

Touché, LemMel.

Seems like every time a site I frequent changes the layout, it is for the worse. Busier isn't better.

Every website these days looks like it's powered by Wordpress.

but I think the bad part is that if they keep pushing these ideas, we get used to it and move on. I mean I thought these new versions of Facebook were all awful but I got used to it and I don't complain anymore.

I do about 90% of my internet searches through my phone and it amazes me how websites still are hard to read via this method.

"Downtown" is the modern-day "Baba O'Riley". Discuss.

What is this Downtown song?

The Macklemore song?

Lady Antebellum?
Neil Young?
Petula Clark?

Friggin...

 

[Mack_Again]

I forgot about the existence of Lady Antebellum.

I still haven't really grown accustomed to the new Facebook.

I'm not going to say they lost me as a user, but I don't use the site as much as I once did, now that it no longer defaults to showing me stories in the order they were posted.

And it's SO busy now.

Im basically using Facebook just to prove people that I am alive and having meaningless thoughts. that's seriously it

I think I'm gonna buy the new Iggy Pop album.

Last.fm recommendations fell off:

I dunno, this might be going a bit too far out of my wheelhouse.

5 seconds in, I like it.

There has been some odd shit from legendary rockers - Metal Machine Music etc - but the Dee Dee Ramone rap album has to be the strangest and most grotesquely entertaining of them all.

Diana, what restaurants haven't closed within walking distance of the Sports Arena, without going onto the USC campus? It looks like everything that looks passable on Yelp has been closed.

The Lab and McKay's are decent and close to the Sports Arena. Both are by the Radisson. My favorite local restaurants are La Barca and Caveman Kitchen. They are on Vermont and 23rd a very short drive away from the arena.

The ridiculous process of electing an American president is the political equivalent of listening to Jeff Mangum wailing about Jesus in King of Carrot Flowers.

I can't believe how bad the Pitchfork reboot is. It's making me not want to use a site that I visited daily. I want to tweet about it but I would also like to write for them, so...

hey there's no empress in Japan because women has period and that's rude to gods or whatever. ridiculous shits exist everywhere.

It's truly awful. Reading news articles is a pain. I'm not entirely sure how they paid someone to do that.

 

[cobl04]

The red lines they've decided to put under words as a hyperlink instead of just changing the font colour is astonishingly bad. It literally looks like a misspelt word with the red squiggly lines.

Thank you!


Walkable from a parking spot in the arena parking lot?

Totally. They are on Figueroa just north of Exposition. Which show(s) are you going to? If it's Thursday, I warn you The Lab will be packed because USC is playing in the NCAA tourney at 7pm.

 

[martha]

Oh, thanks.

I'm going both Tuesday and Thursday.

I'll scope it out tomorrow, then I can make a better decision about Thursday.

You are a wonderful person.
