People love them, people hate them, but you can’t deny the importance Pitchfork Media has had on online music journalism. I go to the site daily, and I bet you do too.
There’s currently a letter on the top page thanking people for visiting the site and to announce that they’ve actually gone and opened up an office in Chicago.
Well, Pitchfork is opening its first-ever office space today in Chicago. I can’t help but feel like we don’t rightly deserve it. All we’ve really done for this music is to attempt to cover it as thoroughly as possible, to hopefully serve as some kind of tool to help it reach those who can see the same things in it that we do. These bands work so incredibly fucking hard for their art; all I want is for that art to reach and affect people the way it affects me.
I would love to be in a position to afford an office for donewaiting.com. Good job, Forkers.
