pitchfork reviews reviews

Early each weekday morning, the indie music Web site Pitchfork posts five new album reviews. Hours later a 22-year-old reader named David downloads them onto his BlackBerry, reads them on his way to work and muscles out a rambling but surprisingly fluid response using his phone’s MemoPad function: no links, no capital letters at the start of sentences, just adrenalized response.

When he’s done — usually after he gets to work, where he has no Internet access — he e-mails the text to a friend, who posts it on David’s Web site, Pitchfork Reviews Reviews, which, since it began in March, has emerged as a vital and unexpected companion piece full of evangelism and skepticism.
