REVIEW: Octfest Brought Cheers and Beers to Governors Island

It’s been a little over a week since Octfest descended on Governors Island, but we’re still feeling funky. Despite a truly rainy forecast, the grounds stayed firm and not too muddy during the international beer and music festival presented by Pitchfork and October. Over two days, several thousand guests enjoyed world class music all while […]

Club Crush: The Week’s Best Electronic Lineups

How was everyone’s Labor Day? Did you burn your white pants yesterday morning, or are you going to be a rebel and continue wearing the damn things through the holiday season? Who decided that was a rule anyway? Even though Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, I still see plenty of good times […]

Northside Festival Interview: Pallbearer

June 11, 2014 By Coleman Bentley

When opening a dialog of Pallbearer, it’s difficult not to frame everything in relation to their triumphant debut, Sorrow and Extinction. And perhaps that’s fair; it was named among the best metal albums of 2012 by the likes of Pitchfork and Spin and singlehandedly introduced the Arkansas doom quartet to an entire subset of listeners who […]

The Hipster Music Index: someone finally scientifically quantified which bands are hip

March 5, 2014 By Free Williamsburg

Someone’s crunched the numbers! Now we know which bands we should be into and which ones are too popular to be hip. Who knew Boards of Canada was for the bros? So, the first scientific criterion for identifying a hipster band is that Pitchfork likes them. Pitchfork reviewers like a lot of mainstream music, however, […]

February 3, 2012 By Briana Cheng

It’s a blog eat blog world. That said, one of the dominating music blogs on the internet is no doubt, Pitchfork. But if you’re anything into indie music, you probably reaped over the discontinuation of Altered Zones. Altered Zones branched off of Pitchfork, featuring the most underground music. Basically, the ones that weren’t big enough […]

Pitchfork Is Doing Something Too

October 19, 2011 By J. Rachel Reyes

Last year, Pitchfork joined in CMJ festivities by throwing their own free one-day music showcase in the form of the #Offline festival. And while Kanye may not make a surprise appearance in their 2011 parties, the online music magazine will at least entertain two boroughs with some amazing bands. So if you can’t wait till the […]

Really? Kanye got a perfect score?

November 22, 2010 By Matt Flint

Before today there were 11 albums that received at 10.0 rating on Pitchfork. Now, add Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Believe me, I want to give credit where credit is due, and I do like Kanye West, but I have a hard time believing that Kanye released the best album since Yankee Hotel Foxtrot […]
