Tweet of the past week arrived yesterday when Nialler9 noticed that Hot Press and Pitchfork had identical posts about Caribou's new album. There was an assumption Hot Press stole [plagerised] from Pitchfork but it was confirmed when later on last night Hot Press deleted their online article! Here is the original: http://pitchfork.com/news/37670-caribou-reveals-new-album/
I've been a regular reader of Hot Press for the past 12 years. When I lived in the UK I even went out of my way to source the magazine wherever I could. In the last twelve months the quality has gone downhill big time with the release of popular writers like Tony Cascarino and Jason O'Toole. They would regularly get facts wrong such as in the last issue they claimed that Leinster beat Munster in the Heineken Cup Final! They even reviewed the same album two months in a row last year. We deserve a music magazine with better integrity but instead they're just acting like Muppet's!
The one shinning light is Patrick Freyne for his unique style of album reviews which make me laugh out loud! However Patrick you got Fools By Your Side!
