Absolutely agreed!
But will any of our Pitchfork-kneepads-wearers listen to King Tuff?
I guess just being a really, really awesome band in Vermont that is not playing whiteboy reggae is not as interesting a story as a band's lead-singer growing up in a cult, such as with this Girls band.
Of course, the other thing is that the tiny Colonel Records label that put out the King Tuff vinyl and the small-change Burger Records label that put out the cassette version has no money for the "pay-to-play" game which ultimately decides whether Pitchfork gives you special attention.
If you knew how dirty Pitchfork is with the pay-to-play scheme, then you might get disgusted and finally stop using them as a roadmap for building a record collection that you will wanna bulldoze by your mid-30s, if not by next year when you realize how little staying power this fluff actually has.
Sadly, even a respected news figure gets dragged into this morass...
