I generally stay away from Pitchfork, I can only take hipsters in small doses, but every couple months I have a look around and find some cool stuff. The Special Presentation series and In The Studio is IMO where the good stuff is.
Some stuff to check out:
Dodos performing 4 songs in a bathroom. I know nothing about this band, sounds pretty cool though. It was well into the third song before I noticed there was no kick drum. I love the toy piano, trash can and the taped together cymbals.

Dan Deacon in the studio. Dan makes some of the goofiest music you’ll ever hear. Snow Ghost studio is soooo beautiful. Lots of gear porn and weird noises. MIDI controlled player piano FTW.

Dinosaur Jr. in the studio. Lots of dirty old cool gear in a casual home studio.

Deerhunter in the studio. I wish the band didn’t talk about how artistic, you know and like, deep their music is, like, you know.

Radiohead ScotchMist. Ever heard of these guys? They perform their album In Rainbows in their rehearsal room.
