N+1 article on history of pitchfork. (N+1 5.4)
I've seen Artists both helped and hindered by Pitchfork, and in both cases I can testify to it's power. If you are some combination of indie artist/indie label, Pitchfork's approval, in the form of a 7+ album review, is pretty much all you need. Nothing else.
I suppose one ought to complain, but why? So we can go back to the days when people bought records at Sears and Tower Music? No thanks, I'm good.
