    But to people who have a casual interest in this type of music that is exactly what they are, and it's to that demographic that this list and their reviews hold their weight.

True...? I guess I know a few people like that, now that I think about it. But if you have a casual interest in this type of music, pitchfork provides you with everything you need. You can talk about Arcade Fire or if you're feeling extra daring Deerhunter at parties and you'll never know about all the music you're missing, or care.

For the rest of us, there's the internet.
