All hail Pitchfork!

There are a lot of items and topics that we at The BGL centre intend on discussing in the future: Favorite albums, favorite live shows, how we were introduced to a song/artist, where our blog name comes from, opinions, reviews and news.
Basically—we intend on discussing everything music.

If its not clear as of yet, this is a music based blog.

Today, we want to pay hommage to the best music news site on the internet: Pitchfork.

They are, without question, THE source for music news, reviews and interviews online (and offline too).

TOP 5 REASONS WHY PITCHFORK RULES:

5. They are fast! Not sure how everything is set up, but they get the word out almost as it happens.

4. They know their stuff. Seriously—it doesn't matter the genre, they seem "un-stumpable".

3. They are witty. Everything always comes together really well and usually comes with a giggle or two.

2. They cut to the chase. Never any fillers; it's all meat.

1. They always have access to the right people when it matters most.
Example: On the day of the most talked about album release of the year, they offer up info on an interview with Jonny Greenwood about In Rainbows . . . that happened today.

So, here's to you Pitchfork! Because you continue to rock, we salute you.
(Yeah, okay. We'll keep working on our summary statements.)
