I swear, I had my "Routinely Likes: Albums That Get A 6.8 Pitchfork Rating" thing up waaaay before this article appeared on The Onion.
In any case, it's a hilarious read. CHICAGO—Music, a mode of creative expression consisting of sound and silence expressed through time, was given a 6.8 out of 10 rating in an review published Monday on Pitchfork Media, a well-known music-criticism website.

i am not sure where to begin other than it would appear to me that i have found my ultimate blog site. amen. i have some delightful ramblings and rants planned but i don't want to jump right in yet. instead i shall just say that i am content and listening to the pre-order download of the live pavement set from 1994 in which they try out some of their wowee zowee material. why do i mention this? cuz for some odd reason it doesn't register with mog-o-matic. but oh well...

Zowee! for ScheisseMinelli and others who were discussing the Wowee Zowee reissue, here's a link to the Matador page about all the extra extras that come with this if you order from a participating store:

no info yet on what the stores are - but I'd say keep an eye on the Insound website and the matador site. Matablog is worth checking out regularly, anyway.
here's a link to a list of stores who are offering the 7" + poster + xtra live show download:
