Pitchfork Media

If you live for music, want to be the first to hear the new singles, find about tour dates, buy tickets, listen to MP3 streams, be the cool music nerd on the block, then you should bookmark Pitchforkmedia.com. They cover a wide range of music, from indie to hip-hop to arena rock.

Pitchfork has introduced me to many of what has become my favorite bands in the past 3 years or so: The Decemberists, Will Oldham of Bonnie Prince Billy, Sam Beam of Iron & Wine, Glasgewian powerhouse popsters Camera Obscura and The Delgados, Califone, Postal Service, Devendra Banhart, and a long list of others.

Here's a prerelease video of Camera Obscura's new single, "If Looks Could Kill."
