yeah i don't know, it seems more buried now? but it also just looks the same as the rest of the site ... guessing that most readers don't really care what section a thing is in

i mean, everything is kind of buried now. but at least they appear as news items when fresh

they should bring peter sotos back to pitchfork. his critical voice has been sorely missed.

A lot of the people I'm connected to on Facebook actually work for record labels, so I see more links to Billboard than to Pitchfork.

Now, having long ago donated the majority of the Kickstarter proceeds to a Malian NGO, Dibb has finally emerged with a mostly self-financed, small-scale album that was quietly released this month in a special cassette/book edition for donors (and on Bandcamp for everyone else). But despite all the Kickstarter confusion and communication breakdowns, none of Dibb’s out-of-pocket supporters should feel short-changed. Because whatever anxiety Dibb felt about not following through on his Kickstarter campaign has been channeled into a wonderful little album about overcoming the anxiety of not following through on your Kickstarter campaign. Okay, so Sleep Cycle doesn’t include any lyrics that specifically reference inflated funding targets and comment-section outrage, but this exercise in self-help psychedelia provides a poignant portrait of an artist regaining their confidence one song at a time.

2016 marks the 20th anniversary of the Squirrel Nut Zippers most celebrated and commercially successful album Hot. Originally released in the summer of 1996, Hot was the follow up to the band’s critically acclaimed debut The Inevitable. By this time the group had already established a substantial live following across the country thanks to early support from NPR, college radio and non-commercial stations. Hot wound up selling over 1.3 million copies. Pitchfork, which was in it’s second year of operation at the time, raved about Hot giving it a 9.5 and saying: “When you first splashdown into the CD, ya hit this realization: that people even older than your parents liked music like this. …Hot is exuberant, gin house swing without apologies and it rocks without pretense. If you can manage to resist liking it, you must be dead.”

Pitchfork to Review Key Albums in the Prince Catalog
This is like what the 35th Prince related headline so far in the past week?

would be funnier/more interesting if they just reviewed the albums nobody knows/remembers - The Gold Experience, Come, Rainbow Children, Rave un2 the Joy Fantastic, Musicology etc.

i'm not really a "pitchfork is dumb" thread guy, but the parenthetical here made me chuckle:
William Basinski, the composer behind the iconic Disintegration Loops, is among 31 contributors to a new Red Bull Music Academy project called Shattered Streams. Billed as "an experiment in musical ephemerality," it features artists including Fatima Al Qadiri, Fennesz, Wolf Eyes, Mumdance, Eluvium, Zebra Katz, and more, each of whom has created one track that will play on a loop, gradually degrading, over a 24-hour period, before disappearing completely. (Coincidentally, the project went under way yesterday, the same day Radiohead began fading out their social media presence.) Listeners can choose the period over which the track will degrade, with settings ranging from one minute to the full 24 hours. Check out today's track, by Basinski, here.
