Pitchfork revealed dates and locations of the second leg of Radiohead’s North American tour this morning, and something jumped out at me that made me a bit excited, and more than a bit apprehensive about when to purchase Radiohead tickets, and to what shows.
It also made me a bit more hopeful than I was since […]

Man, Stereogum sure does hate the way Rolling Stone does things. I guess you can’t blame them. Is Rolling Stone to Stereogum as Pitchfork is to RTP?
Either way, I digress. Check out this piece where Billy Corgan dares to question Radiohead’s musical integrity. He questions Amy Winehouse in the same breath, which I could have […]

So last week Pitchfork announced Pitchfork.tv which actually sounds pretty cool. They tout it as what Music TV should be and I can’t argue. Me thinks it a pretty good idea.
Then, they knock me out with the early initial lineup for Pitchfork Festival 2008. Spiritualized anyone?

The Action-Squad Genius Corps is presenting its second annual Hipster Valentines. If you laughed until you cried at last year’s batch. Your heart is probably going to stop briefly, and then start again from all of the laughing… and love.
It’s the best way to tell that hipster in your life that you give […]

As expected, Radiohead will be touring the US this year and if you missed the last round of small venue shows you’re probably leaving right now to stand in line for tickets. I personally know many people who went down every avenue to score the entrance pass to the last shows here in Chicago […]

Despite the title, I’m not going to write an album review per se. I don’t have the time in my life to review each song and get into a lengthy analysis. I’ll leave the (pretentious) reviews to Pitchfork, which, by the way, is probably the first site I visit each day simply because of the […]

That’s the opportunity you’ve been presented with on this glorious Friday morning via the 2007 Pitchfork Media Reader Survey.
Finally, a chance to formally request more metaphors dripping with obscure adjectives, more American Apparel ads, more e-blow jobs for Steve Malkmus, and more fodder for the unspoken competition between Pitchfork and Reckless Records for who’s the […]

If to wake with a start means to rise and shine alert, aware and prepared, as if your morning had already started without you, then today I woke with a finish. The combination of allergies and Chicago’s first truly autumnal weather got the best of me this morning. I must have hit the snooze button […]

Oh Win Butler… What other forms of trickery do you hide up your Canadian sleeves? First healthcare for the masses and now this! Someone better tell our brethren over at A-S about this, the magic. Ok, maybe it’s more of a interactive video than magic but wasn’t this supposed […]

I’m too excited to give you any more details than those contained in the title of this post, but let’s be honest, that’s really all you need to know, right?
Alright fine, the details are:
1) The band is releasing the record themselves (as opposed to via their label).
2) You get to choose how much you […]
