	Pitchfork - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A pitchfork is a tool with a long handle and long, thin, widely separated pointed tines (also called prongs) used to lift and throw loose material, such as hay, leaves, grapes, or other agricultural products.
		The pitchfork has also frequently been used as a weapon by those who couldn't afford or didn't have access to more expensive weapons such as swords, or, later, guns.
		As a result, pitchforks are stereotypically carried by angry mobs or gangs of enraged peasants.

	Pitchfork Media - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pitchfork Media, usually known simply as Pitchfork, is a U.S. -based daily Internet publication devoted to music criticism and commentary, music news, and artist interviews.
		Pitchfork was created in Minneapolis in late 1995 by Ryan Schreiber, then just out of high school.
		Pitchfork's opinions have gained some cultural currency in recent years; some in the mainstream media view the site as a barometer of the indie music scene, and positive quotes from its reviews are increasingly used in press releases and affixed to the front of CDs.

		Pitchfork Media, usually known simply as Pitchfork, is a U.S.-based daily Internet publication devoted to music criticism and commentary, music news, and artist interviews.

	Empty Bookshelf Reviews » Pitchfork Media’s Top Album and Top Single of 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Obviously, at year's end the opinion-based media puts out best of/worst of collections to (again, obviously) serve as "year-in-review" without going month-by-month, the same way that respected publications don't review albums track-by-track, instead covering the highlights of the "grand scheme" of the album, then investigating the highlights of particular tracks.
		Pitchfork Media, which is one of the leading internet-based music sites is known for their devotion to "indie" music, though they do review non-indie music, specifically higher profile hip-hop/rap albums.
		Pitchfork Media's Top Album and Top Single of 2005 receives three stars due to their insistence on keeping up their "indie rock cred" no matter what the cost.

		But Pitchfork, which is about to celebrate its 10th anniversary, has emerged as the authority on the ever-growing indie rock scene.
		Because Pitchfork is a lean operation with a specific interest, it can focus tightly on its subjects.
		As for the future of Pitchfork Media, all you can do is cross your own fingers that the site stays true to its craft, and doesn't become a corporate schlock-pusher like Rolling Stone, which continues to find new ways to lose credibility (like, for example, the tasteless and pointless Olsen Twins cover shot).

	Pitchfork Media: triple j print reviews
		"Pitchfork Media, home of the gratuitously in-depth record review." The tag-line for this Chicago based music news and review website kinda says it all (well, a lot of it at least.) This is a site dedicated to music reviews and news.
		Pitchfork can be pretentious at times, and there is an edge of music snobbery.
		Pitchfork have given Architecture In Helsinki the praise that they deserve but still don't seem to get in Australia (apart from Triple J ofcourse).

	Pissed Off in the Heartland: Pitchfork Media Can Suck My Cock
		Pitchfork Media can lick my ass crack; how is it that the only rock music that qualifies as decent has to be on some spock ass Canadian indie label, yet any fucking major-label hip hop drivel has some immense cultural significance?
		I think the people at pitchfork media are good people, and I think they do love music, but I feel they are misguided when they're expressing that appreciation.
		Pitchfork is for aspiring music elitists who have no taste of their own.

	Pitchfork Media - Uncyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Pitchfork Media, the Myspace site of founder Ryan Schrieber, is a well-known website dedicated to popularizing music that sounds like, or attempts to sound like, either Nick Drake or music that was released in Great Britian from 1977 until 1983.
		At last, on his eightieth birthday, donning a beard that hung to his knobby, trembling knees, Schrieber descended the staircase that led from the loft over his parents' garage.
		Pitchfork reviews are billions and billions of times more accurate than Roger Ebert, who can distinguish between a mere two degrees of quality (although Siskel, before he passed on, was perfecting an 'angled-thumb' approach, in which the thumb would vary between zero and 180 degrees of quality, including angular minutes and seconds).

		And perhaps not coincidentally, Pitchfork is home to the kind of full-on rant-think piece-takedown that was once the specialty of long-and-strong journalism legends like Greil Marcus and Lester Bangs.
		THE writing on Pitchfork is much like the alternative weeklies of another era that covered every wiggle and wobble of the music scene - some of it is nonsense and much of it is unwieldy, but it is ambitious and passionately prosecuted.
		"Pitchfork is in touch with a large group of people who put a lot of faith in what they say," said Ken Weinstein, who handles press for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, a band that few people had heard of months ago but has been riding the Pitchfork up-alator.

		Pitchfork is in the danger zone in terms of how long the underground is going to tolerate them being our voice AND in terms of how their content fails to improve even as their audience size explodes.
		Pitchfork seems to have an agenda even before some reviews are written and less and less are the reviews trustworthy.
		Pitchfork has a lot of useful content but so do a lot of other sites -- I guess at the end of the day its the rating system that is key to Pitchfork's success and failure.

	Chicagoist: The Interview: Pitchfork Media's Ryan Schreiber
		Lollapalooza presale tickets came and went with no warning, and not to be outdone, indie music site Pitchfork announced a partial lineup and ticket sales for their new venture, Pitchfork Music Festival.
		The folks at Pitchfork split with Jon Singer and Mike Simmons, who promoted the highly successful Intonation Music Fest last summer, and are using their namesake to promote a similar show under a different name this summer.
		Chicagoist recently sat down with Pitchfork founder and Editor-in-Chief Ryan Schreiber to probe him about the upcoming lineup, his thoughts on competition among summer music festivals in Chicago and if he is planning on attending Lollapalooza himself.

		After perousing Pitchfork, I can conlude that these guys are far too smug and arrogant to be telling anyone what to listen to.

		For the three people who might be reading this not already acquainted, Pitchfork Media (pitchforkmedia.com) is a website devoted to the "gratuitously in-depth record review"--a site that is arguably the most read music criticism source on the planet.
		As the most read music website in the world, it can be assumed that Pitchfork is regularly consumed by the music obsessed masses--not the least of which are music editors just like myself all around the country.
		As the sheer scope of Pitchfork 's effect on independent media is sort of difficult to fathom, I like to picture it as a sort of particular kind of journalistic collective consciousness--a variable, the same variable, thrown into the chemistry of nearly every music journalist writing today.

	AOL News - Garage Rock Meets Garage Critics
		In an odd way, Pitchfork shares the virulent politics that drive a lot of the traffic in the blogosphere and on the Web.
		Much discussion on the site is about who has sold out and who has not, about how the Mainstream Media is clueless about music (guilty as charged, in my case, anyway) and who is actually down for the cause.
		While so much user-generated content on the Web is tendentious and full of flabby partisan attacks, Pitchfork steps up to the plate with a rigorous rating system, serious (if idiosyncratic) critical standards and a roster of 40 or so talented young writers.

		Pitchfork has since determined that a number of DiCrescenzo's assertions were false, based on corroborated statements from the two parties he claimed were participating in the chain of events referred to in the review.
