Not regularly. Not by a long shot.
But every now and then, if I hear of something interesting over there, or if I get a bug up my butt to do so, I will.

But not enough to vote "yes."

from '00 until about mid-'02, i visited to scan the news and reviews every morning. but at some point that summer, they had one of their redesigns that looked terrible on my computer and so i simply stopped altogether.

now the only time i read it is if a review comes up if i'm searching for an album.

I read a least a hundred blogs and probably thirty review sites every day. Pitchfork loses out most days. Don't get to it.

Almost never, unless I am really really bored and sitting in front of the computer trying to think of websites to check and waste time at.

I pretty much have come to the realization that between Lala, SwapACD, and shelves with 1000 cds, that I have too much music and don't give what I have the proper attention. I have pretty much stopped scouring for new stuff aside from a few new discs each year. I haven't bought many discs in the last 2 years, but still seem to have plenty of music.

Sure, mainly for news, but the reviews are often high comedy.

...once every 3 or 4 months. I usually scan the front page and see what is currently being reviewed. Maybe run a search for a release from the past 4 months that I want to see what they said about--search turns up nothing (either because they didn't review it, or because their search function SUCKS ASS), so I leave.

Yeah. It's part of what keeps me updated of what's out there.

I hate most music blogs that I've seen.

mostly for the news, but if there is an album reviewed I've heard or curious about, I'll read what they say.

Everyday, usually the first site I check. Mainly for news and the occasional review.

Mostly for the news, though I look at the reviews too.

I just saw their new layout and must agree that is is nicely laid out. It could use a bit more color, but otherwise is fantastically simple and surprisingly fast.

it sounds sadistic, but i miss the nonsensical reviews that really didn't say anything about the album until the very end. that, and maybe another leaked budget spreadsheet.

how many of the 17 that answered "no" went straight over to Pitchfork and read up?

prolly 99%.
