Jeremy D. Larson @jeremydlarson.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Inspired by Pauline Oliveros’ “Deep Listening,” “Deep Taste” blends neuroscience and music criticism as a counterpoint to the flattening effects of A.I. and streaming. It asks why we love what we love, and how that awareness can strengthen connection and community. If you're around, come by & chat! 030

Jeremy D. Larson @jeremydlarson.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Well I'd like to think most of the time we use the space allowed to us there to justify an authoritative stance, performative though it may be, with tools like style, voice, rhetoric, humor, pathos, those kinds of things 000
Jeremy D. Larson @jeremydlarson.bsky.social · 17/03/2026I realize this is likely my own neurodivergence. What I read as a sincere piece of criticism on Twitter is actually the author just "getting a take off" but the way it ... co-mingles with the actual vocation of good written criticism (which is always enhanced by personal context) makes me feel loco 051
Jeremy D. Larson @jeremydlarson.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Here's why I feel nuts every time I open either social media app: People respond to dimensional pieces of art on a two-dimensional platform, then use that platform to state their personal opinion as an objective truth because it gets better engagement. It's like watching everyone lie all the time 1110

Jeremy D. Larson @jeremydlarson.bsky.social · 25/01/2026Yeah I hear you, the thing is: advertising won't keep the lights on at any publication anymore. Has been a downward trend for over five years (arguably a decade), and it will not be reversed. That + A.I. + YouTube will push everyone to subscription. Substack / Patreon was early. Pitchfork is late! 120

Jeremy D. Larson @jeremydlarson.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Lastly, and maybe I'm feeling myself, but I feel like our criticism is good enough that we don't need to center it. It's a foregone conclusion. This is for the readers, which is who the critic should serve. 110
Jeremy D. Larson @jeremydlarson.bsky.social · 20/01/2026There is no world in which ad revenue can keep websites afloat anymore, this has been true for years and years. It's unsustainable, see: every other good music website with a subscription. I wish music crticism was a public utility, but that's not the reality. 110
Jeremy D. Larson @jeremydlarson.bsky.social · 20/01/2026All that makes sense, and I can definitely see it that way, and I don't really feel like plugging my nose to defend a Corporate Magazine online for too long. But I would say if anything, Pitichfork subscription is not the harbinger of a troubling future, but finally catching up to the past. 120
Jeremy D. Larson @jeremydlarson.bsky.social · 20/01/2026I want to engage with this in good faith, I really do, but I’m having trouble seeing how all of the very real things you bring up are connected to subscribing to a music website, and that scare quote is a deeply uncharitable, almost willful misread of the announcement! Help me out here 100
Jeremy D. Larson @jeremydlarson.bsky.social · 20/01/2026A couple thoughts: I think the music criticism we publish is exceptional and worth paying for. I think music as an art form is inherently personal & lends itself to communal engagement and individual authority, which can live side by side. And though Pitchfork means a lot to me, it's only a website 1101

Jeremy D. Larson @jeremydlarson.bsky.social · 15/01/2026I used to think "Tonight there's going to be a jailbreak/Somewhere in this town" was a bad lyric because, well, would't it be at the jail? But no it's an amazing lyric because it insinuates the jailbreak is NOT at the jail, therefore making it inherently figurative. That's Irish excellence for you. 1161
