i like pitchfork, and i read it almost daily. apart from news and reviews, i also think they're running some interesting weekly columns and the odd interview.
my main motivation for using the site, is to seek out albums by bands i don't know, or bands that i haven't yet checked out for myself. i mean, there's so much being put out there, that it's impossible to keep up with everything. i find pitchfork to be a pretty neat filter in that respect; sure, you're bound to miss out on a helluva lot, not just by the selection that they're putting up, but also negative, turn-off reviews. i'll admit that i'll rarely check out an unknown band that just got slaughtered. but hey, life's too short, and my cash flow isn't exactly perky, so i'll have to make compromises. i think pitchfork is great, actually.
