Pick Of The 'Fork: Can You Spot The Fake?

pitchfork.jpgWelcome to this week's installment of Pick Of The 'Fork, where your Idolators try to mix and match metaphors with the wily wordsmiths over at Pitchfork. The drill: We give you four comparison-choked sentences, and you vote for whichever one you think is our decoy.

We'll post the results of the poll—and links to the original reviews—later today. Happy guessing!

  • I may need to start reading Pitchfork reviews again so as to keep my skills sharp for this feature. Then again, I'm probably better off only being exposed to their unique pretentious asshole/hipster doofus views once a week. It's like the whole staff has had their DNA spliced with Jim Derogatis's. I hate that guy.

  • I'm surprised you didn't include this gem from this week's Plan B review:

    "The repeated images of throat-slitting obviously refer to a need to figuratively emasculate rivals (see the hip-hop tradition of penis-editing terror that dawns with Grandmaster Flash's "trying not to lose my head," running through "King Kut", the 1990s fixation with "peeling caps back," and even "Where's Your Head At")."

  • i hope it's the hobo one
