This is a Blog Post

I have been diligently trying to piece together my lists for Best Songs and Best Albums of 2008 for a few days. It's all beginning to fall into place...I just need to dedicate more time to a few albums before I can be as content as possible with my lists. I'm aiming for the 20th!

A few inferior publications have already released their lists:

Rolling Stone, you are officially having an identity crisis. Who are you trying to appeal to with your Best of 2008 list? You have your obligatory Dylan record, TV on the Radio, Mellencamp, Santogold, Metallica, Coldplay, and Lil Wayne all in your top 10. While diversity isn't necessarily a bad thing, I feel like you're trying too hard to please all constituents of your fan base. Look--your "aging hipster" subscribers won't be around much longer, and if you continue down this path you will inevitably alienate your younger readers...oh, except that vicious estrogen-fueled pack of Jonas lovers. You're doing a fabulous job keeping those under your bosom.

Pitchfork, you are still the king.
