And Stereogum? I do check it daily, but there's usually maybe one thing out of all the day's posts that is even remotely of interest--I don't give two shits about Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard getting married. And I agree with you about its audience...while it's very broad, it's also kinda ridiculous. It’s depressing that Pitchfork can still make or break a band. And Stereogum?

Which is fine. I think they're actually a generally positive thing in the indie-verse and they do a solid job of putting MP3s/reviews/videos/news in one spot -- the quality of all that is up for debate.
