Reason #649 why I hate Pitchfork's writing staff:
http://m.pitchfork.com/news/63703-ka...llboard-chart/
I stayed up all night writing a story about teacher pensions and board of education meetings to meet a 7 a.m. deadline, and Pitchfork is employing some asshole to copy and paste this shit from Billboard as though it's actual fucking news. When have music streams ever transferred into direct sales? The album is not for sale, and we all knew this. So... why do these overpaid freelancers get paid for this filler bullshit while I'm trying to make graduation rates at alternative schools sound interesting?!
