More that by nature of what kind of magazine it is, by the time an 
artist appears in Time, I will have aleady heard of them from 
someplace else.  The point of comparison isn't to Pitchfork (a site I 
have little if any use for), but to Time Inc.'s own Entertainment 
Weekly, a magazine that does regularly turn me on to new stuff I 
haven't heard of yet.
