Pitchfork = Popdork?
Pitchfork readers, go check out the best record label in the world at www.subpop.com. Really funny.
"Pitchfork staffer says 'hi' to real life woman."
"6.0-6.9: Maybe we should put together a book of all our reviews because they're way too hard to find on our website. Paper is the new internet!"

Yes, I'm quite sure they made you.

**convinced. Since it was easily the best release of 2003. Because they know all that is good and mighty about music these days.
I haven't visited pitchfork since

Do you have the same regard for Pazz 'n' Jop, SPIN, Tiny Mix Tapes, and year-end lists in general? Or only PFM? Seems that the only person who thought the 'Fork knew "all that is good and mighty about music these days" is you. After all, you did buy the disc on their sole (?) recommendation.
Penny Lane, did TMT purposely avoid Echoes? I was surprised to see that it was never reviewed and noticed a little slap at them in the year-end feature (will(oma on BSS).

This record in particular probably just slipped through the cracks.

I'm surprised at how much time they actually spent on the template. It really does look just like their title page.
