from altered zones:
okay now i’m gonna transcribe a paragraph from the bottom of page 103 of pitchfork editor scott plagenhoef’s book entitled If You’re Feeling Sinister about the Belle and Sebastian book of the same title:
“… So why did that happen? Short answer: the internet. The Sinister list (a Belle and Sebastian fan community) and its “down the pub” feel have been almost shoved aside by the nastiness of message boards, the almost wordlessness of many mp3 blogs, and the hyperbolic enthusiasm-as-criticism of much of online journalism. “The Shins could change your life” became not just a much-derided line in a film but was held up by one blogger as indicative of the sort of sensationalism and breathlessness that passes for music writing.”
