I go to Pitchfork on a daily basis just to keep up. It is a great source for information ,from finding out about groups like High Places, or just news about Nellie McKay ,the Pipettes and many others. Their review of the Honeydrips led me to am amazing album.
I would be lost without Mojo. Before I even used a computer I was discovering groups like Okkervil River and Eleni Mandell. Would I have found them eventually? I am sure. But nothing more exciting than finding new and wonderful music .Whatever gets you there. The writers at Mojo are just music freaks like me. They are sharing ideas. Those ideas are vital to me.
