Pitchfork is down!!! Hurray!
Now, with this opportunity now available to the rock-addicted masses, stereogum, Idolator and the Onion AV Club are always better options. I also just discovered SPIN magazine's Blogroll the other day, and it's kindof brilliant in the sense that they can bring people to their site without doing any actual work. But wait, isn't that the premise that all blogs are based on? Kidding. Although, I don't think I'm cool enough to read BrooklynVegan. PASTE magazine is among the best as well. Loved their most recent MMJ cover story. Fantastic. I agreed with soooo many of the points they made in that article. Well done.
ANYWAY, ist's always nice to have a break from their snarky indie-elitism, even if Pitchfork.tv is always worth checking out and they have very extensive music news. My problem with them has always been their criticism. It's altogether too fucked up. (in fact, that could be in the makings of a future columnish thing. stay tuned.) Have they ever rated a non-Radiohead megaband higher than 8? Can that really be taken seriously? I can never get over how misguided and hipster-elite the writers from that site are. Really, they've become just as annoying as Rolling Stone magazine.
BTW, as an indie/alternative rock fan from the Midwest, I'm exactly who these fuckers are trying to market to. And Pitchfork is consistently wrong. Step your game up, Forkers.
