Airborne Toxic Event @ Fonda, 6/7/07 by Sung

LA’s own The Airborne Toxic Event, who played the Wiltern supporting the Fratellis last night and are up in San Francisco this evening, have posted an open letter on their website to Pitchfork Media regarding the 1.6 rating bestowed their album today by Ian Cohen. They close the letter by inviting Ian (the critic in question) to a live show here in Los Angeles:

Dear Ian,

Thanks for your review of our record. It’s clear that you are a good writer and it’s clear that you took a lot of time giving us a thorough slagging on the site. We are fans of Pitchfork. And it’s fun to slag off bands. It’s like a sport — kind of part of the deal when you decide to be in a rock band. (That review of Jet where the monkey pees in his own mouth [Here - Ed.] was about the funniest piece of band-slagging we’ve ever seen.)
