The Onion Takes On Pitchfork

I have to admit, I get a majority of my music news from Pitchfork these days. In fact, most of the music I have listed in the 'Upcoming Shows' section was first introduced to me on the site. If you are unfamiliar, Pitchfork is a Chicago-based music criticism site that focuses mostly on indie music, but has ventured into underground hip-hop and some radio pop in recent years. Yes, the writers are pretentious as hell, but nobody else seems to cover the ground that they do. Also, they are usually dead on in their assessment of new albums.

That being said, I always enjoy a good critique of Pitchfork, and the Onion has done a fine job this week.
