Knowing Know, we won't get his top 50 of 2011 until 2014. If we're lucky we'll get 35-50 by the end of 2012. This is very true. I almost said it earlier myself. I'm still working on my top 20 of last year. THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE IS WAITING.

Wait. Did Burst Apart not even make Pitchfucks honorable mentions list??? Wow. 8.2, Best New Music. These guys suck at their jobs.

Then again they like Best Coast more than Radiohead.

Actually, Pea's top three will all be in my top ten, even though I won't actually figure it out until 2013. I love the Antlers album, it might be my top. Also Youth Lagoon and Portugal. The Man will be top ten. Destroyer will be too.

There is so much greatness in that Destroyer album, but I can help but be annoyed by his vocal patterns. Ruins the entire album for me.

Dan Bejar has a pretty annoying voice, so I understand if anyone doesn't dig it. Have you ever seen the New Pornographers live? As much as I like the New Pornos, I only wanted to see Dan Bejar during every song. Interestingly enough, Destroyer was one of the worst shows I saw in 2011.

As much as I like the New Pornos, I only wanted to see Neko Case during every song. Fixed. I liked the Destroyer album a lot and I was surprised it was #2 on pitchhfork's list. 1) Streethawk: A Seduction 2) City of Daughters 3) Destroyer's Rubies 4) Kaputt 5) Thief 6) Your Blues 7) This Night 8) Trouble in Dreams

Holy SHIT, this is the new bringing-up-contemporary-of-Montreal-to-HG, isn't it? Nah. I just hate the direction he took Iron & Wine. He's playing to the Dave Matthews crowd now. In other words: yes.

I'm not even going to take the time to articulate how idiotic I think Poochfuck's list is. What REALLY bothered me about it was how they decided to head each selection with a picture of the artist instead of, y'know, maybe the album art or something.
Like we need your help with killing the traditional record sleeve, assholes.

I don't really know what I was saying there. Thursday night is drinking night for me so just disregard everything.

Like we need your help with killing the traditional record sleeve, assholes. That's a really interesting observation. I didn't even notice that but now that you pointed it out I can't help but agree.

They said Washed Outs albums was best new music and I have yet to see any other site agree. It still didn't make top 50. It was a decent album but top new music? ehh... Another observation is the lack of Active Child anywhere. This was a great damn album.

They didn't score Active Child into the 8's so there shouldn't be any surprise with that one.

Just bitching about it in general, Pea. That album got me through testing.

Alright so I'm going to throw it out there, whats with the lack of Gaga on all these lists? Is it not hip to like her anymore? She made a great fuckin pop record this year.
And who the hell is Real Estate? Does anyone like them? I had honestly never heard of them until they started showing up at the top of all these lists. Gave them a couple listens and they are awful.
ugh, music critics are the WORST
