BTW Luke, 'Vice' is the English spelling of the American version 'Vise', they both clamp wood and stuff. So in conclusion The Go! Team can spell and Pitchfork can't.

What a weird coincidence: the second time today (!) I've observed the misspelling of the word "vise" as "vice." In the Go Team's case, since it's their title it's obviously intentional. Over on Pitchfork, the review of the new album by Battles refers to their "vice-tight musicianship." I presume the writer meant "vise," the crank-tightened implement that secures an object (like a piece of wood) or objects (like two pieces of wood glued together) in place.

I'm not using Idolator to bash Pitchfork, though I'm vaguely aware of some "rivalry." Idolator makes its share of grammatical errors, as do I. I suppose we readers of web publications should appreciate that the copy is even spell-checked, let alone closely line-edited. Even with the chain of quality control staffed by college graduates, things are bound to slip through once in a while. I know the correct spelling, so I notice the mistake, I can't help it. And I'm sure that, even in this milieu of aesthetic hair-splitting, I'll be derided as a nit-picker. I expect someone will call for my head to be squeezed in a vice . . .

Also, I liked them better when there were no words. No real words, anyway.
