Not sure if I understand why this is newsworthy.

cos its weds.

hoorah, one of those random article placing news posts.

M+N, get it together,
Reviewing reviews.......
And promoting Pitchfork.

I feel I understand where that last comment is coming from, actually. I think the Drones are one of the most impressive Australian bands maybe ever, yet I don't often feel like listening to their music - I have to psych myself into it a bit. That's not because I don't think it is excellent music, but because I feel it makes certain heavier demands of me as a listener than most other music I listen to, and maybe I don't always want to feel the way the music makes me feel, or don't feel up to it.

So, yeah.

Next: Pitchfork review of this review of a pitchfork review, all explained by a real yet 'False' wikipedia page.....
I'mout.

So what does this review of a review give the review out of 10 then?

You started a thread when the Presets got reviewed on Pitchfork, so I guess this is similarly newsworthy.

Lazy journalism FTW

reckon the could get a job at the Supper Club huh?

anything to do with the drones is newsworthy. as a former m+n contributor once put it to me, they're the band that m+n writers love to love.

i should point out that i hate the drones.

It isn't. Someone's opinion is that the opinion of another someone is pretty bad.

In their opinion.

is everyone having a stupid day or something?

M&N - a website about Australian music.
Local Oz band The Drones - attracting the attention of hugely influential international media organs whose opinions have a massive impact on success of bands
= newsworthy

Pretty obvious, I think.

I was young and stupid.

Not sure if I understand why this is newsworthy.

'newsworthy' is perhaps stretching, but it's because it's an Australian music website, and it's about an Australian band that lots of people around these parts love (myself included), and therefore many people are interested in what Pitchfork et al think of the album. However much they say they don't give a fuck.

The fans (like myself) are happy for them (and proud of them).

The haters are as perplexed as ever by their (relative) success.

And everyone is secretly jealous/envious.

So M&N writes about it.

Simple.

I like The Drones. Slow news day I guess.
