pitchfork makes me cringe. i even had the bastards checked as my homepage a few years ago, but now anytime i go there my asshole explodes. and epitonic has put up, like, 15 new mp3's in the past four years.
allmusic.com can be surprisingly good for older stuff, but for new music i stick to blastitude, desiderata, and oppobrium as far as online stuff goes. for print zines, i always pick up the new bananafish and broken face, as well as occasionally thumbing through the wire and signal to noise at the bookstore while my girlfriend looks around.
