but i get tired of people who get paid to write about music for a living seemingly being completely oblivious or uncaring about stuff that doesn't land on their desk.
This is pretty much the way its been since rock writing began. If anything, you should be GLAD places like pfork exist because now that it's easier to hear unique and different music than ever, dudes like William Basinski or whatever are getting props they would have never gotten in Rolling Stone or Spin or even Pfork ca. 2000
