I went looking for that "10 concerts from archive.org" on pitchfork (that i'd previously linked to from this thread) and i have literally no idea where it might be or what to search for to find it. i view this as a flaw of the new design.

You have to find the "10 concerts from archive.org" section. First, make sure to use a phone! Second, scroll down for five minutes.
(It's filed under the Pitch.)
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 12:08 (seven years ago) link
They have a search box.

Fwiw, I just searched (on my phone!) for "archive" and "archive.org" and didn't get it as a result.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 12:39 (seven years ago) link
Probably because "archive" isn't in the title of that article and is in a million others

i figured it was under the pitch section, but the pitch section is nowhere to be found on the page. if you cmd+f "the pitch", the only hit is the link at the bottom of the page for the pitchfork review.
the pitch seems to be a subsection of the latest so it's two pages away when i feel like it used to be a main front page thing. no wonder i couldn't find it.
also i searched for "archive" and "archive.org" initially figuring it would search the body text. also search "elliott smith" seeing as i knew that was one of the concerts highlighted, so figured it would probably be tagged. is their search shit then too?
― in twelve parts (lamonti), Wednesday, 22 June 2016 15:10 (seven years ago) link
Actually "elliott smith" is an artist in this story but not a tag, which are only "bootleg" and "Invisible Hits", I guess that's a further subcategory within The Pitch within The Latest within Pitchfork. Obviously.
I think Pitchfork is probably churning out too much and too varied formats to be very well organised yet, and probably are way less concerned with their archive than their front page. A pity though.

Everything is driven by social media these days, so their lack of "organization" is, in fact, a good organizing principle for having a successful, well-trafficked website

I'm not sure I get what you mean?
Either way, I think I should probably have said "well archived" rather than "well organized".

I would say that searching for something on a specific site using google works better than using a site's search function approximately 99% of the time

Yes, they should. You can add a google search box to a website. There is no reason to have a crappy search function.

They've got videos set on autoplay, and since the news loads in a constant stream, as you scroll down the news page, it starts every single video until they're all playing on top of each other. very "altered zones"

Apparently, they've been doing "classic" album reviews on Sundays. While I'm not opposed to the albums they've covered thus far, I still find the idea of "in retrospect" commentary from a source as notoriously fickle as Pitchfork to be an extremely slippery slope.
http://pitchfork.com/news/66495-pitchforks-next-sunday-review-pulps-different-class/
And the "announcement" of the upcoming review among the site's own news feed strikes me as being in bad taste.

Last couple of weeks: '12 staffers pick an old song they discovered', '8 staffers share their favourite concerts', '17 staffers name their fav summer song'. Arbitrarily numbered listicles are lame, they sure as hell got told to do more listicles.
