But their reviews are pretentious and arrogant. And have gotten more so recently. And they really don't know as much about music as they like to think they do. I think I read an interview with Ryan S. where he said he was miffed at Clap Your Hands Say Yeah because they were ungrateful. Ungrateful?Does the New York Times go around saying they don't like a certain book author or musician or filmmaker anymore because they are ungrateful for a good review? What a unprofessional behavior. So the subtext is to be grateful to Pitchfork or else. And their attitude towards two good bands Dr. Dog and Birdmonster is laughable. They accused Dr. Dog of being a rip off of the Beatles.....which is such simplistic comment. I mean there are many, many bands that "rip off" the Beatles. Dr. Dog "riffs" on the idea of the Beatles. Don't get me started. But the real reason they didn't seem to like Dr. Dog is that the New York Times once wrote a long feature about them and Pitchfork used it as an opportunity to attack the Times and Dr. Dog. It almost seemed like they just had to hate this band that was trying to get a break but was not trying to get it through them. They recently accused Dr. Dog of not being the arena band that they want to be. What the fuck was that?That is a ridiculous comment. And they accused Birdmonster of making "non indie" roots music as if they commited some sort of crime. Just uninformed, malicious stuff. My last straw with them was their recent condescending review of the re-release of TEN. I am sure Pearl Jam could give a shit what Pitchfork thinks. I was never a huge Pearl Jam fan but they have grown on me over the years and they certainly are very commited to making the best music they can and to the right poltitical causes. And there probably wouldn't be a Pitchfork if not for some of the inroads that a band like Pearl Jam made with the music establishment. Anyway, you guys at Hear Ya are my place now. I am done with Pitchfork. They can have their Justin. I think that Pitchfork have done some positive things and helped bring some really cool music to the rest of us.

Or should I say "Human Instinct", "Yesterdays Children" and "Leafhound" used to play back in the early 70's. If you don't know those last three bands, you really don't know enough about the subject of acid blues rock...so trust Parker Griggs, he knows...and he's actually talented enough deliver a song with crescendo. The studio album doesn't compare to their live shows. @Ignatius: Dude, you need to see them live…

I just read Ignatius's comment.... Ignatius, everyone has their opinions, thats fine in my opinion my brothers playing is much more that standard blues scales. In fact Parker has been playing drums, bass, and guitar for over 10 years and the musicianship is virtuoso in my opinion. But you did get one thing wrong.. The name is Griggs. not Riggs. I believe Adam Moerder may have made the same mistake. One last thing.

My brother is lead guitarist/vocalist of Radio Moscow. That said Pitchfork media would tag me as buyist however being a musician myself I already enjoy that style of music and really admire radio moscow's style and diversity. I really dont even know what to think of Adam Moerder's review... Did he even listen to the CD? Perhaps he reviewed the wrong one. All jokes aside does a psychedelic blues power trio really appeal to Beer and Football? Fillmore style psychedelic jam outs make me wanna drink a Coors and watch the Superbowl. Oh wait.. that's Justin Timberlake's gig!! lol Oh and also the ridiculous song name comparisons to bar names! Please! Apparently Adam Moerder thinks the name lickskillet was inspired by a bar name. Well my brother, Parker, actually named that song after a street , lickskillet road down in colorado, which, in my opinion, has a nice bluesy feel. Lick my skillet, dust my broom?

Some of the guitars are good, but most is maturbatory generic blues guitar work. And how about Rigg's voice? Dude should get someone with a soul to put up the vocals. I agree, Pitchfork's review was harsch, but his point is made and I agree.... Really, once you get into the second or third spin of Radio Moscow’s debut you realize that there is not much in it.

The major percentage of the music reviewed is souless, gutless, and utterly undanceable. it's a site for fans of head music for those who don't like head any more than they like shakin' their rumps unless it's post-ironically. Fans of the Deep Blues would do best to ignore Pitchfork.
