It's too early for me to know if this is 3 layers of irony but Pitchfork was one of the most influential taste-maker's when it came to that kind of indy / rock / whatever scenes through like 2010? Had music festivals and stuff too.

I was being a bit snarky, but I totally agree with you. I think I honestly did find Vampire Weekend's first album along with several of my favorite bands of all time through Pitchfork in the mid 2000's.

As bland and useless as they've gotten, I will forever be grateful to Pitchfork for first introducing me to The Hold Steady, The Drive-by Truckers, and TV on the Radio.
