I really like that Jet review with the monkey peeing. I thought it was funny and pretty accurate when I first saw it forever ago and I still think that.
Anyway, the animosity pitchfork has been getting has become way more annoying then hipsters who model their taste after pitchfork's ratings and lists. The site's my homepage, because like Marijan said, it talks about the music I like. I don't really take their reviews that seriously though, considering I'm a huge Saddle Creek/Team Love fan and any artists related to those labels typically is lambasted in their reviews for whatever fickle reason they can use to justify their bias. I do think they're a good source of music news though and on what's being released. I don't know why the site is such a big deal to people, regardless of which extreme you choose to take on it.
