Pitchfork Predictions
So that music site that no one talks about is doing a list for the aughts (2000-2009) of the top 200 albums.
Tomorrow they list the top 20. I thought we’d have a little predicting fun tonight. Actually, I could probably name everything Pitchfork will select. These are more selections that I would like to see.
The Beatles Remasters
Not to start yet another Beatles argument, but is anyone pumped about the Beatles remasters? I haven’t heard them yet, but based on the latter part of the Pitchfork review of the complete set that goes into the differences in RMS and instrument separation, as well as an opportunity to hear the songs in their intended Mono, I’m pretty excited to grab them all and give each album a thorough listen.
Pitchfork's Top 20 songs of the Decade
The first 500 or so, who cares, but the top 20… it’s actually a pretty decent list.
Pitchfork's One Week Only: Jeff Mangum
Live video recording of a performance at Starlit Crypt (yet somehow related to that live Jittery Joe’s performance).
Lightning Bolt's The Power of Salad
One of my all-time favorite band DVDs is streaming at pitchfork this week.
