Pitchfork Media gets a lot of attention for being a self-pronounced authority on music. Both pretentious and narrow-minded, their reviews are quantitatively rated on a scale of 0.0 - 10.0 with accompanying inaccessible banter.
They seem to like things that are terrible and dislike things that are terrible and moderately like things that are pretty alright but sometimes awesome.
The Pitchfork Project is a daily (maybe) blog-project to listen to albums that Pitchfork has rated a 10.0 and give some comments on the music and the merit of the rating.
On one hand, this is me being a pretentious self-pronounced authority on pretentious self-pronounced authorities on music.
On the other hand, as a non-reader of Pitchfork, but somebody who really enjoys music, I'm hoping this will be a way to expand my listening.
