''Kludge'' was a Los Angeles-based online music magazine devoted to long-form music journalism, album reviews, music news and interviews. It included a media section and a discussion forum. Founded in 2000 by editor-in-chief Arturo Perez, the magazine developed a reputation for its extensive coverage of underground and independent music. ''Kludge'' had a combined staff of over twenty writers, editors, graphic designers, and photographers. It included writers from various backgrounds, ranging from academics and professional journalists to first time writers. After its establishment, the site rapidly expanded to include live reviews, interviews, streams of albums, and year-end features. ''Kludge'' had frequently partnered with Virgin Megastores for presenting new works and promoting new artists. While the site's readership numbers never reached the levels of Pitchfork Media's, it did receive many notices in the press for the quality of its writing. It has been quoted by publications such as the ''Oakland Tribune'', ''Music Connection'', and PureVolume,〔 and has been used as a source by Artistdirect as well as a number of record labels, including Epitaph Records.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.artistdirect.com/artist/links/ani-difranco/423431 )〕 ''Kludge'' ceased publication in May 2006, but the website remained online until December 2009. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kludge (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
