Dork-on-Dork Violence Escalates in Music Blogs

Yes, you may recall that a few days back, Pitchfork, once a bastion of kingmaking among indie rockers, published its list of the 500 best singles of the past nine years (they called it a decade, though). If you were lucky and committed, you had heard between five and 15 of their selections. The list was widely reported, clicks were generated, status was quo. (Spoiler Alert: #1 was "B.O.B." by Outkast. #2 was by LCD Soundsystem. #3-500 were Arcade Fire.)

Until, that is, Buddyhead, the other, meaner, smarter, but also dumber online publication dedicated to telling dimwitted young people what to think and when, published a hit piece lashing out at Pitchfork's choices in a style that can best be described as overtly hostile and unnecessarily graphic. Can Pitchfork resist the urge to respond by calling Buddyhead names, too? Friends, Romans, Countrymen, it's on. Like Alanon. 

The fallout has been... uh... well, I read about it on Idolator, so that's one person who noticed. Maybe you will too!
