I've been listening to this all afternoon:

Yeah, yeah... it's one reporter's opinion... the world according to Pitchfork.

But how many albums did you buy in 2009 in order to compile a list of your favorite 100 songs of the year? Exactly. There's a lot of questionable shit on here, but it's good to take a listen and learn about some new artists. If you can find a link to download these, it's a good idea to put them on your iPod and give them several tires. A lot of this stuff is slow-burner material. The first five times you hear it - it won't click. But then you'll be back for more.

What about the historic opus "LOL Smiley Face"?

I kinda stay away from Pitchfork stuff now for the most part, but I usually scan through their lists to see if there's anything which grabs my attention. That said, I'm a sucker for end-of-year lists and usually canvas my friends for album recommendations around December.

Wow, I couldn't even name 100 songs from 2009 much less my favorites

And what do you reckon they'll do with a load of tires?

Yeah---No shit

I was pleasantly surprised to see Daniel by Bat For Lashes at no.4 on that list. It's probably the best song of last year.

I hate all websites that think 30 seconds of audio is going to help the artist in some way.
