Do You Have A Pitchfork Emergency Back-Up Plan?

A few weeks ago Pitchfork Media went down, sending our hippest meme-maker into a state of mini-crisis. There's no guarantee that this Internets is going to last forever, after all, so why do entrust it with our entire social lives? Do you have a back-up plan? Maybe everyone should just print out a month's worth of screen shots from their favorite websites just in case.

I tried to go the thepitchforksmedia.com today, and it didn't work. :-(
WTF. Where will I find new music? Where will I read reviews of my favourite bands? What if I forget how to rate things on scales that range from 1 to 10? What if I want to jerk off to alt music videos in HD?

It sucks sometimes how so much of our lives' are stored on these machines. What if they go away? What if gas prices get so high that we can't run our computers any more? How will we formulate opinions or friendships without the internet? :-(
