For this week's episode, we discuss, uh, a website you, y'know... probably haven't heard of. It's Pitchfork, the most controversial, successful, despised, worshiped music criticism publication of the past 20 years. This episode is no hagiography, nor is it a typical take-down of the website's prickly legacy. We attempt to dig deep into its history, reputation, writing voice, blind-spots, and evolution from a problematic cultural juggernaut to a more thoughtful elder statesman of the publishing world. The categories are: (1) Best Album Rated 10.0 by Pitchfork (2) Artist Most Underrated by Pitchfork (3) Most Memorable Review (4) Best Sunday Review.
