Pitchfork News Switches to Real-Time Format

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.

Hey, it's a strange and confusing world out there. Only the truly demented have any grasp of what's going on anymore. To that end, we've digitally re-mastered and expanded our entire news staff, even throwing in a bonus editor (the prodigious Rob Kleckner), so that they can consume the day's late-breaking events, uncover delicious exclusives, and shit it back out in a language the sane can comprehend.

Now, you may have noticed some changes we've made to the front page of the site, in order to accommodate this endless stream of information. The left column now contains two news sections: "Top Stories", which naturally contains the most notable recent developments, and "In Other News", which features the day's other stories, followed by the previous days' headlines. Both sections will be updated continuously throughout each weekday, and together will run between six and 12 stories daily. If that's not enough for you, well...you know, there are all those reviews and features, too...
