Pitchfork’s Soundplay: The Lamest Thing On The Internet

Chances are, if you happen to read this blog regularly you probably also check out other sources for music write-ups on the internet. If that is the case, then chances are even greater that you follow, or at least occasionally check out Pitchfork. Pitchfork has no doubt inspired us in many ways to do what we do on this blog, but in other ways it does the opposite and shows us what not to do. Aside from its stigma of hosting overly pretentious articles/reviews, it also has a few other outlets that have never really seemed to been able to get off the ground but are still shoved down our throats while on the site. Pitchfork.tv being one thing they seem to heavily promote, but don’t get much traction with. Most of the content on Pitchfork.tv isn’t even generated by them in anyway, they just repost videos under their link to maybe make it look as such. Well recently Pitchfork decided to step into the gaming world and release an “innovative” new line of online video games “inspired” by their favorite music. And what a stink bomb it has turned out to be.
