PITCHFORK ПРЕЗЕНТАЦИЯ КАЗАКОВОЙ НАСТИ ИЗ ДТПУП 1 -2

PITCHFORK MEDIA, USUALLY KNOWN SIMPLY AS PITCHFORK, IS A CHICAGOBASED DAILY INTERNET PUBLICATION DEVOTED TO MUSIC CRITICISM AND COMMENTARY, MUSIC NEWS, AND ARTIST INTERVIEW. ITS FOCUS IS ON INDEPENDENT MUSIC, ESPECIALLY INDIE ROCK. HOWEVER, THE RANGE OF MUSICAL GENRES COVERED EXTENDS TO POP, HIP HOP, FOLK, JAZZ, HEAVY METAL, EXPERIMENTAL, AND VARIOUS FORMS OF ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC. THE SITE, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1995, CONCENTRATES ON NEW MUSIC, BUT PITCHFORK JOURNALISTS ALSO REVIEW REISSUED ALBUMS AND BOX SETS. THE SITE HAS ALSO PUBLISHED "BEST-OF" LISTS – SUCH AS THE BEST ALBUMS OF THE 1970 S, 1980 S AND 1990 S, AND THE BEST SONGS OF THE 1960 S – AS WELL AS ANNUAL FEATURES DETAILING THE BEST SINGLES AND ALBUMS OF EACH YEAR SINCE 1999.

IN LATE 1995, RYAN SCHREIBER, THEN JUST OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, CREATED PITCHFORK IN MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA. INFLUENCED BY LOCAL FANZINES AND COLLEGE RADIO STATION KUOM, SCHREIBER, WHO HAD NO PREVIOUS WRITING EXPERIENCE, AIMED TO PROVIDE THE INTERNET WITH A REGULARLY UPDATED RESOURCE FOR INDEPENDENT MUSIC. AT FIRST BEARING THE NAME TURNTABLE, THE SITE WAS ORIGINALLY UPDATED MONTHLY WITH INTERVIEWS AND REVIEWS. IN MAY 1996, THE SITE BEGAN PUBLISHING DAILY, AND WAS RENAMED "PITCHFORK", A REFERENCE TO TONY MONTANA'S TATTOO IN THE 1983 FILM SCARFACE. IN EARLY 1999, SCHREIBER UPROOTED PITCHFORK FROM ITS MINNEAPOLIS BASE AND RELOCATED TO CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. BY THEN, THE SITE HAD EXPANDED TO FOUR FULL-LENGTH ALBUM REVIEWS DAILY, AS WELL AS SPORADIC INTERVIEWS, FEATURES, AND COLUMNS. IT HAD ALSO BEGUN GARNERING A FOLLOWING FOR BOTH ITS EXTENSIVE COVERAGE OF UNDERGROUND MUSIC AND ITS WRITING STYLE, WHICH WAS OFTEN UNHINDERED BY THE CONVENTIONS OF PRINT JOURNALISM. IN OCTOBER OF THAT YEAR, THE SITE ADDED A DAILY MUSIC NEWS SECTION.

ON JULY 29 AND 30, 2006, THE PUBLICATION PREMIERED ITS OWN PITCHFORK MUSIC FESTIVAL. THE EVENT ATTRACTED OVER 18, 000 ATTENDEES PER DAY. MORE THAN 40 BANDS PERFORMED AT THE INAUGURAL FESTIVAL, INCLUDING SPOON AND YO LA TENGO, AS WELL AS A RARE HEADLINING SET BY REUNITED TROPICÁLIA BAND OS MUTANTES. THE PITCHFORK MUSIC FESTIVAL WAS HELD AGAIN IN 2007. IT WAS EXPANDED TO THREE DAYS (FRIDAY, JULY 13 - SUNDAY, JULY 15), WITH THE FIRST DAY BEING A COLLABORATION BETWEEN PITCHFORK AND THE BRITISH MUSIC FESTIVAL ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES AS PART OF THE LATTER'S "DON'T LOOK BACK" SERIES, IN WHICH SEMINAL ARTISTS PERFORM THEIR MOST LEGENDARY ALBUMS IN THEIR ENTIRETY.
