I've never seen that in stores. I really love this magazine called "Sky Scraper." I didn't know 80% of the things I know now until I started reading it. About two or three issues are released a year, but they have lots of great interviews and well written cd reviews (They get in all the indie records that came out at the time of it being published.)

 

I'm too poor for tangible magazines, so I get my info from the internet.

Pitchfork are so full of themselves. They're writing isn't too great either. Any band that uses quirky instruments or that's British they give an 8.00 or higher

 

I agree with you, their reveiws are pretty spotty, but I guess I never really trust reviews, I trust MP3's. However, Pitchfork does help point me in the right direction. Without Pitchfork, I may not have found alot of the artists I enjoy today.
