The Pitchfork server must be overwhelmed. I cant see their just published Top 50 of 2004 for the life of me. Fuck. Back to online solitaire.

I'm pissed at Pitchfork. When did they start giving everybody a 5.0 grade or higher? What happened to the good old days of handing out four 2.0 grades the same day? Even if they were wrong, it made for great reading.
The top 50 single list was good. I might pick up a couple 12"s.

The Top 50 list is up again.

I mistitled the Tony Starks LP on my 'best of list', but I meant "Pretty Toney"
'Biscuits' and 'Tush' (w/ Missy Elliot) are two stand-outs. I love this guy.

The re-issues portion is also pretty good.
I have couple of them (pre-reissue). Notably, The United States of America album is hot. I picked that up living in NY in '97. I think Pitchfork said there are bonus tracks on the re-issue, which might be fun.
2 questions: Has anyone actually heard the Homosexuals? Does the world need a "5 disc, career spanning look" into Scott Walker?

For whatever it's worth: I have 1/5 of their best albums list: Les Savy Fav, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, TV on the Radio, Air, Dizzee Rascal, Annie, Sonic Youth, Brian Wilson, and The Streets. Plus two of the reissues: Pavement and Ultramagnetic MC's.

How is the Annie? Didn't that get best single?

It's okay... nothing that'll blow your mind. Well, it really all depends: how much do you like Norse girl pop music? "Heartbeat" is, however, a stunner of a song.

"Single of the Year" right?

I wouldn't say single of the year, but it's really good despite itself. Yeah.
