Website

After listening to the many interesting presentations my classmates gave on their favorite websites, I sat back and thought about what site, out of many, would I choose to visit. Now, I could easily say YouTube, but the fact is, I visit that site pretty often. I did find one site that caught my eye immediately...Pitchforkmedia.com. As a fan of music, I like non tradition, not so mainstream kinda stuff (not that I don't listen to any mainstream stuff, cause I do...and as Burt form The Used put it "so what!"), and this site seemed to offer any music fan, especially indie music fan, a lot. I really liked the general lay out of the site, it was very easy for me to navigate. I liked how it offered reviews and features...two things I love reading! Just out of curiously, one of my fave indie musicians is Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes, and he seems to be gaining some headway, so I thought I'd search him on Pitchfork, and not only did they review his albums, but they also gave news about who he's been collaborating with, upcoming tours in support of his new CD coming out, I believe in April, and about the new cd too! And to boot, they had several pages of news about him! I was happy. Pitchfork is one of those sites that I will definitely keep checking on!
