Pitchfork is doing this Best Music of the Decade thing

i wasn't going to post this because its just the kind of thing that pisses you off, not because they present it like the be-all end-all it isn't (a problem a lot of other self-important listmakers have), which they don't do, but just because so much of the early part of it is like obscure euro techno and they talk about it like its all meaningful and shit in their absurdly pretentious prose and that pisses me off (read their description of song #101 to see what i mean).


its a few days old and they've just started with counting down the top 500 songs. because of the annoying shit i mentioned, its only worth paying attention to starting at like #150. they're not done, but i have to say, there's WAY less to disagree with than i expected, if you're equally into your indie shit as you are pop and (mainstream) hip hop, like pitchfork is (and i am, too, obscure euro techno very much aside). you can also listen to every single song on there, there are worse ways to throw away some time at work.


i'm just going to keep these coming, my treasure chest overfloweth.
