I also think there are a LOT of music writers on the web who are better than the most of the ones at Pitchfork, too, and they're not that hard to find - but most of them aren't interested in doing what Pitchfork does. Dahlen is right, I think, in that most of the other websites aren't trying to compete with Pitchfork.

Actually, reviews of older albums like those are the only pieces of music writing I find really compelling these days. It's due partly to my own focus, which has been more on re-evaluation and re-appreciation than discovering brand-new music, and the joy of reading people writing about records that they know really, really well, instead of music they've just run into. A sober second thought is always more interesting than a first impression, for my money.

Er? Oh, you mean the 136 list? That would take a lot of revising to actually bring anywhere to print, and I honestly can't imagine who'd be interested!
