All of my life, I have been told that the Beatles are the best band ever. They have created the best music in the history of the world. It was always hard for me to evaluate music when a Pitchfork review of the artist/album/mp3 didn’t exist. I feel as if the 0 to 10 numeric score really gave you a ‘jumping point’ from which u could open ur mind and truly appreciate/shit upon an album/band.
My perception of the world finally makes sense. Like I finally ‘get’ music history since I can compare the Beatles to modern indie hits.
Since I have never heard the Beatles’ music, this is a huge relief. Now I have the opportunity to ‘accept them in2 my life’ since I know how 2 judge them appropriately.
Can’t believe ‘Yellow Submarine’ was a mediocre bust, sort of like a lackluster Of Montreal album or something.
I feel better about 2k9, like I know where the ‘best’ albums of the year stand [via in a historical context].
I finally know that ‘Let it Be’
is slightly worse that AnCo
but slightly better than
‘Everything in itz rite place.’ – the Radioheads singing a song about the world making sense
Just searching 4 perfection.
Not all albums were created equally
it is our duty as ‘die hard music fans’
who are the most ‘culturally connected’ ppl in the world
to find out which albums are better than others
and create a forum for like-minded people to rally around them
enjoying them for what they are
but mainly preserving them so that they don’t get ‘too mainstream.’
My concept of musical history makes more sense now.
My concept of the world makes more sense now.
I feel like I am now able to have an educated conversation with my parents about the Beatles.
Tonight, I will finally experience the Beatles when I start to play ‘Beatles Rock Band.’ Hearing them for the first time will be amazing, but I hope that I am not ‘let down’ since there are such high expectations [via perfect 10 p4k ratings].
My mind is free
I am a music critic
I honestly believe that my ‘taste in music’ is a direct reflection of the ‘best music’ in the world.
This is a post about welcoming the Beatles to my iTunes library 4 official judgment.

@Mitch, Quote: “And lets not forget Blue Cheer, who was even before The Beatles. n00b.”
Uh, dude…John Lennon and Paul McCartney met in July of 1960; they invited George Harrison to join them and they became “The Beatals” for the first few months of the year.[13][14] After trying other names and various drummers the band finally settled on Ringo Starr and became “The Beatles” in August 1960.
Blue Cheer came together in 1966. It was co-founded by Eric Albronda and Jerry Russell, music aficionados who wanted to become involved with the San Francisco music scene of the 1960s.
I’m not sure quite what calculus you are using to claim that Blue Cheer predates the Beatles, but it’s delusional at least.

the beatles suck ass.
influential? yes. good? no.
in a time where there was no internet and people had to get music from the mainstream exclusively they got the beatles in their faces and ears 24/7 [via radio and early tv] and probably didn’t know any better than them. of course they would turn out to be the most influential band. then we got almost 40 years of nostalgic dads and grandpas and moms and grandmas teaching the youngsters to worship a band that, had they come out today, no one would give a fuck about.
sad really, this whole music history thing. the 60s.

The Beatles are to concrete with their idealism and aren’t “Zany” enough to be considered anything groundbreaking today.
Influential is another way of saying used to be groundbreaking, and since The Beatles are nostalgic Pitchfork are pinned into giving them a high rating. If this came out today, who knows what idji-otic Pitchfork would give them.

Well, think about it. Most people reading this blog are in their 20’s. I’m personally 24 making me not even ALIVE during the time the Beatles were releasing albums. Most people my age I’ve noticed don’t seem to know or care all that much about the Beatles unless a) they’re a musician or b) they grew up in a household with family that liked the Beatles. I can honestly say I’m the latter but growing up, I didn’t really get them until my teens when I took it upon myself to sit down and actually listen to a Beatles album. (first being Sg. Pepper) That turned into me listening to Revolver, White Album and so on and so forth. Hence my Beatles love seemed more genuine and not just inherited.
But since musicians are still being influenced by the Beatles even after 40+ years, music is going to continue to sound like them. Elliott Smith? Grizzly Bear? Even Animal Collective? Most of you people are listening to the Beatles without realizing it. And then imagine if they didn’t come in when they did and how much different music would have been. It was a pivotal point in music history and the music they make is far more relevant and experimental than a majority of the shit that’s came out since. No one should be obligated to like them but at least respect them for their contribution to rock music.

Carles massively oversimplifies and distorts the ideologies behind the indie scene. Okay so pitchfork is pretentious in their reviews and overestimates their ability to judge music. But there are still objective qualities to music that can be rationally evaluated, and the notion that music and art is merely subjective voids it of all meaning. There is more to art than cold logic: passion, feeling, creativity, freedom of expression. Also, pitchfork provides a valuable service to many people: sorting through a bunch of albums to find ones that people are more likely to enjoy. Acting like people that listen to indie music are idiots is baseless and reveals how vain and pretentious carles is himself. Talk about a fucking hypocrite.

He thinks evaluating art is fruitless. If you listen to indie music, he is most likely critiquing you. Carlesian philosophy is a highly developed set of beliefs.

3. “stop trying to ‘figure carles out.’” Nah man, I will not blindly accept ideas that I have been told, and refuse to think about stuff that I don’t ‘get’ :( Sorry bro, I try to think through things for myself.
4. “You are the answer to your last question.” woah, maybe I do take my aesthetic choices (via buying clothes not made in sweatshops, made sustainably, not a walking billboard) and reflect deeply upon my personal and cultural values. But I am not going to blindly accept social norms…I want to find my own answers, to possess a ‘growth mindset’ where I can evaluate a bunch of different ideas so I can have ‘the best cards in the deck.’

he writes according to different personas and mindsets with a subtle overarching view of these things. His humor works in a dumb/smart way, but I agree that sometimes it’s too mean spirited. I think the most valuable posts on his blog are about the internet economy and marketing. The stuff on “entry level”, “alt”, “mainstream” and whatnot is funny, but if you dislike people because they aren’t hip to what you like or believe, then that makes you a small, pretentious, unloving person. All people are valuable, and it doesn’t really matter if they are wearing JNCO jeans and juggalo makeup or “entry level” attire or whatever. Some things are dumb, but that doesn’t mean that people who are into them are worthless or bad or whatever, or that you shouldn’t try to show them respect and love. But it’s fun to laugh at people not like us!

@JJ, Interesting to hear you quoting Foucault. IMHO, if you really understood BaudrillardBro and the Foucault’s you’d realized that the real ‘doesn’t exist’ and that were in the hyperreality. Carles is just having fun, how can the reference ever refer to the referrant when the real ‘is lost.’ Hipster doesn’t exist, bloghouse doesn’t exist, MJ doesn’t exist, all are representations and simulacrum in hyperreality. As soon as the sign is created, the sign is inverted and interpreted and denatured. If you want my advice, start reading some of buddhabro and stop ‘worrying about shit on the internet.’

Pitchfork had no choice but to give these albums 10s. They’re pushing their luck with Let It Be. I know we’re all too cool for the beatles here, but you have to realize that their music is what all other music is compared to. No matter how much you like grizzly bear, or washed out, there would be no such thing as pop music without the beatles. The scale of music judging has to have a “perfect point”, just like water has to have a boiling point.

Hay friands,
I will be honest with you, I didn’t “get” Animal Collective before Merriwether Post Pavillion. I always thought “wow this is trash” and would turn it off. That changed earlier this year with the release of MPP. I also noticed a large increase in AnCo fans with the release of that album who didn’t “get” their older stuff.
It seems to me that AnCo has broken the mold and found a new way of dazzling new listeners with their music in ways we have never seen before from a band except The Beatles.
You say, “what is it?”
I say, it is the Theory of Animal Collectivity.
What they did was release a first album which was extremely awful. The next album got a little bit better, and the next a little bit better too. You say, now don’t many bands do this? LIKE THE BEATLES!?
And I say “yeah I guess so”.
BUT
AnCo did it a little bit differently in that they finally peaked with “MPP” and now people want more. So what do they do? They don’t sit around waiting for new albums. They backtrack and listen to Strawberry Jam, and then Feels, and then Sung Tongs, etc. And what happens? People are able to “get” the album that they previously couldn’t.
AnCo albums must be listened to in perfect backwards order however. Any other order doesn’t work and violates the theory. This is pretty genius quite honestly. Because all these years they were recording albums that nobody wanted. Now that they have released one amazing 9.6 album, suddently, the 9.4 album and 8.7 album and 9.1 album seem a little bit more worthwhile to listen to. And before you know it, AnCo is not only selling MPP, but also the rest of their discography.
Sunny and Cher did the opposite of this. And now AnCo is doing this.
Pure genius.

How do you live even 10 years and NOT hear any of the beatles music? Do you live under a fucking rock?

Also, can’t you just like music because you like it?! Not because it’s “too mainstream.” Obviously the stupid lyrics and music of top 40 and shit these days is pointless and mainstream, yes. But how can you hate the Beatles who were revolutionary because everyone knows who they are. How very hypocritical and ironic of you! If you do everything you do because YOU love it and not everyone else, then why the fuck do you care what everyone else thinks about certain music if it’s something you really dig? hmmm

calling the beatles over-rated is like saying the Model T is over-rated.
in their time they revolutionized their respective worlds but I wouldn’t have a Tin Lizzy now if you paid me & I’d rather listen to a random MySpace band than listen to the Fab Four in 2009.
time turns everything to roadkill eventually.

You guys are a bunch of hipster faggots. Think for yourselves. And your sarcasm sucks, you all know you rip off one another for “originality”. Wild.

to me the beatles always seemed like uncool brit dads with like, smelly feet and large-ass noses/ears like european ppl of olden timez used to have? and then they played some whack songs on guitars that sounded cool if you were a bucktooth girl in a fugly skirt living back in the creepy old days when televisions were black & white

Does n e 1 else feel ‘awkward’/'embarrassed’ when Carles says things that u have ‘caught yourself thinking’?
Feel ‘picked on’.

And 2 all of the ppl who r ’shitting on’ the Beatlers:
Have u even ‘fucking listened 2 them’? Feel like ppl who shit on the BeatlingBros r ppl who ‘just heard 2 songs from RubberSouls in the background while their hippie father beat them as a child’ and ‘haven’t actually heard’ most of their more creative songs.
Feel like if TheWhiteAlbum, Dr Pepper’s Lonely Island, and Abbey Road were ‘released 2day’, alts everywhere would put them alongside Belle&Sebby, NaturalHotelMilkings, TheShinbros, and The Flaming Arcade Lips, as ’sum of the most creative/experimental/mindfucking pop tunes ever’.

Dear God the world is coming to an end! Are these really the voices of the future leaders of our world? Is Idiocracy some kind of terror-inducing prophecy? Quick…where is the self-destruct button? Oh wait…I guess someone already pushed it and now we are devolving.
