>believing that Jurno Insider guy

it could be, certainly some of the BNMs are paid. but I can't imagine e.g. Michael Gira doing that.

>Bowie paying pitchfork for BNM
try again friend

>>61632894
Mate this really wasn't paid for. Even if it was, it's 10/10 and there's not too much you can do about it budday

if anyone pays p4k for a BNM, its someone label associated, definitely not the artist themselves.

>inb4 any positive reviews by a publication are paid off

>>61632894
Yeah, and what does that mean OP?

>>61636521
Bowie didn't do it, it would have been Sony, that most definitely did pay for it. I'm friends with the dude from Rhye, he told me his record label paid pitchfork for the BNM and he didn't really give a shit about that album or anything haha

this. also sometimes pitchfork gives BNMs to bands that they already generally like. They totally base their reviews on Pitchfork's meta opinion, rather than that of the reviewer. At least most of the time, every now and again there's a genuine thing being written. But anyway...
