Pitchfork Strokes its Beards Over Norm Macdonald's Me Doing Standup

Why does Pitchfork, a website about indie music, review comedy albums? What makes them, music writers, occasional experts on comedy? Because both come on CDs?

None of these questions are answered by today's review (6.5!) of Norm Macdonald's Me Doing Standup.

Fred Armisen and The Lonely Island Talk Siamese Cats, Pubes, Roombas and Other Important Topics

Fred Armisen guest hosts the latest episode of Pitchfork's Over/Under, in which he interviews the guys from The Lonely Island and quickly ditches the show's premise. After all, who's to say that pubes are overrated or underrated? Although, I guess this is Pitchfork we're talking about, so some judgement is necessary. I suppose if pressed, I'd give pubes a 7.8.
