Anti-Hit List

If there's one major city newspaper rock critic I seem to seek out its Toronto Star's John Sakamoto and his Anti-hit list.

It's sort of like a second opinion to the Pitchfork herd and he also manages to find new stuff I hadn't heard of.
It's got useful links to the bands or songs that he's covering (hello, Pitchfork, thanks for not helping) and often you will find links to MP3s as well. He covers everything from major labels stars like Stefani and Flaming Lips down to Pink Floyd / Vandellas / Wings mash-ups.

He's now doing a smallish podcast (usually 10-15 mb) to go along with his picks.
