Pitchfork News Switches to Real-Time Format

Ryan Schreiber reports:
After more than five years of bringing you sad, sleepy suckers your morning music news, and reading letter after letter whining that our once-a-day, five-times-a-week updates are simply not enough to keep you abreast of the latest happenings... we've caved. Your demands were many, and our patience is not what it used to be. You want your news live, in real-time, as it happens-- not on some archaic daily schedule like the ones limited technology forced on us back when people still relied on paperboys and printing presses. Understood.

(etcetera)

Not that I care but, I don't suppose they have an RSS feed or anything? Something to dispel the smart-ass tone and become a useful improvement perhaps.

Or would that upset the advertisers and their page-impression requirements?

Smartass tone seems always directed at corny indie fuck strawmen.

Pitchfork pines for the audience of AllHipHop.

But without Pitchfork, all the indie kids that Pitchfork both despises and relies on would have to find their abuse somewhere else.

RSS is so complex, though. *cough*
