Raise the Pitchfork towards the Sky

Any self-respecting indie rock fan has a favourite review site. Where else could we find all the best of what's new? My day wouldn't be complete without a visit to Pitchforkmedia.com for a review or two.

The other day, they had a segment called "5 Bands to Watch this year". It led me to the Holy Grail of Singles, "17 Years" by Ratatat. Based on some sort of roboporn-synth keyboard line and some nice breaks and cuts, it can go on repeat for 20 minutes and I won't even notice. You can download the song here.
