i recently stumbled upon a great site similar to, but much better than, pitchfork.
http://www.cokemachineglow.com
they seem to have a healthy love of mmj (see the review of z or it still moves - especially it still moves). plus when they review cd's, you don't get just one guy's opinion, you get the whole writing staff's.
i go there for all of my cd reviews, but for news i still use pitchfork b/c they update WAY more frequently.
cokemachineglow also has monthly podcasts (at 160 - 192 kbps!), which kicks ass
anyway, just thought i'd let you know ...
this site is awesome, never knew of it before. thanks for the tip. :)
