pitchforks and hammer handles

That's what we would say during a downpour.
It's raining "pitchforks and hammer handles". Maybe that was just a local Pennsylvania Dutch area thing.

pitchfork'd

The adjective of the website known as pitchforkmedia.com.

1) If a friend is talking about an album like its the greatest record ever, and you are an indie hipster with all the knowledge of music and its effects on society, than an important factor on you listening to this album is to find out if the album is good enough to be pitchfork'd.

2) The resulting aspect of an EP/LP once it has been processed through the rigorous critique and analysis of the pitchfork's reviewers.
Friend 1: So I listened to Kid Sam's Self Titled record last week, it was fucking incredible.

Friend 2:
Has it been pitchfork'd?

Friend 1: No. What the hell is pitchfork?

Friend 2: Well it's not worth listening to.

Pitchfork Effect

Indie kids around the world flock to buy and/or download the latest high ranking reviewed album published by the quintessential yet slightly biased indie music site, Pitchforkmedia.com.

"OMG Pitchfork has just reviewed the new Times New Viking!"

Generic Indie Kid #2: "Shit! Seriously?! That's the new lo-fi noise rock band isn't it?! I'm so downloading that right now."

Bitchfork

1) (noun) A sad existence. A leech with no musical taste that listens to every thing that the wannbe-hipster hotspot, pitchfork.com, gives an 8.3 or higher.

2) (verb; to bitchfork) To flame people for their musical taste, if the respective artist was not given an 8.3 or higher on pitchfork.
1) Bitchfork: OMG have you heard the new Sunset Rubdown album, it's absolutely brilliant. 8.3 / 10!!! The greek allusions are so down to earth and not pretentious. Oh, did i forget to mention i love Animal Collective.
Normal Person: What a bitchfork.

2) Douche: Omg, i don't think that there are enough Greek allusions in the new Peter, Bjorn & John album. It's so mainstream indie, and behind the times. Animal Collective ,however, rules!
Person 1: What is going on
Person 2: Leave him alone, he's just bitchforking.
