It’s Pitchfork “Top 100 Tracks” Day!
The outcome is usually me listening to a ton by a Christmas tree, thinking about how What The College Kids Like has every right to be as baffling as What The Teenagers Like, and how these fools are listening to fools who sound like fools from about 20 years ago, but in an earlier time, my insufferable archetype had to go out and BUY crit-picks for the experience, and probably got a lot angrier. Now I can just click some links, say “Christ, do these people wish they lived in an Adrian Lyne movie or something?” and download a few just to prove I shouldn’t be buried with a Mojo subscription quite yet. Honestly, I’ve been looking forward to this holiday tradition for a while, and I’m genuinely grateful. Still probably going to post one or two WTF pull quotes, though.
