Pitchfork takes a beating...
Slate investigates the Pitchfork back-lash. I started reading Pitchfork back in 2001 and admittedly, the editorial staff are on a never-ending quest for the more obscure and ecclectic. The moreso, the higher the score regardless of actual talent. If you are passionate about music, then I recommend you keep a good breadth of music mags and blogs at your disposal (common sense, I hear you say!) and don't rely on a few marquee publications. If you want a real Pitchfork anti-dote, visit Drowned In Sound. You can comment on all reviews and the wank factor is low.
Ofcourse, you can always tune into NYUB for your fix. ;)
Below is a video made by Sound Team in response to a shitty Pitchfork review.
