Listless
All the bloggers I know Everyone I know has been complaining about Pitchfork's list of top albums of 2006, and then offering up lists of their own. (I won't bother linking to all the posts. You know where they are.) Now, I certainly don't have anything novel to contribute to the dialogue - I usually use this time of year to furiously download all the albums I should have been listening to - but I'm still a little surprised that people are all so suprised about Pitchfork's choices. I'm not saying that the albums are good or bad or what have you, because frankly I haven't heard of most of them. But I had a question... This may betray my deep misunderstanding of the world of popular music, but shouldn't you guys all have heard of all the bands on Pitchfork's top 50 list because... you all read Pitchfork?
Though, I was happy to see that Danielson made the list. Not because I like their music, (which I don't), but because Pants Pants Pants opened for them once. It was sweet.
