Prepare for the decline of: The Black Kids
god bless those idiots at pitchfork. yesterday they called erykah badu's billboard top 10 reaching album on of the "best OVERLOOKED albums of the year" (my caps).
wow
picture of two pugs is the best review theyve done ever
Not quite as good as the monkey drinking his own piss, i.e. the infamous Jet review.
That was the pinnacle. They should've just closed up shop review-wise after that and went out on the highest note possible.

Since we're on the topic, I just have to vent about band names for a second. I'm so fucking sick of bands that insist on using the words "wolf", "black", "kids" or "deer" in their names. It's old. Be creative. You can do it.
And yes, I'm talking about the following:
Wolf Parade
Wolfmother
Wolf Eyes
Scary Kids Scaring Kids
Cold War Kids
The Cool Kids
The Black Kids
The Black Angels
The Black Keys
The Black Lips
I'm sure there are more.

You can add using the word fuck to that list…
:(
the Black Kids cd was rated high in Urb and Blender.
My only complaint with them was they were kind of underwhelming live. I am going to give them another chance though, they do have really catchy songs.

suggestion for a can't-fail band name:
"the blackwolf deerkids"
instant hipster cred, before a single note is played. forming the above band would require a french horn player.

from comments at brooklynvegan:
the pitchfork review was originally a 0.0, "written" by someone else, with an opening line on the front page that said "everybody makes mistakes sometimes."
kudos for Pitchfork for calling this bullshit out !
…Black Kids sound like 14 year olds making fun of The Cure
