theunintentionalassholeasks:In the post about Lana Del Ray you said: "Could a Black Kids-style backlash be next?". What happened to the Black Kids?
» SFB says: To put it simply, Pitchfork gave an early release of theirs a great review, then pulled out the pitbulls (er, pugs) when their actual major-label album came out. The site later explained itself, claiming it was a too-much-too-fast situation for the band, and that the album didn’t hold up. The potential parallel Lana Del Rey could face is that her early material got built up by a number of major blogs, and the backlash has already started. Will say this much: “Video Games” is a great song and it’d be a shame for the hype to overshadow the talent. — Ernie @ SFB
