It’s been a half-decade since Untrue was nominated for a Mercury Prize and William Bevan was un-hoodied. In the interim, dubstep’s star waxed and wanged.

 

 

how many of 'pitchfork's top 50 albums of 2012' do you own? me = maybe 4...

none. not saying it to sound cool or anything. i just dont pay any attention to mainstream internet.

I own everything Pitchfork recommends.

the pitchfork 500 tracks from a few years ago was a decent list. there's a torrent of it floating about too.

TIME described the book as having "42 critics to cover 30 years of music, from 1977 punk to 2006 crunk, and all the starry-eyed, acoustic acts in between."^[2]

sorry but that does sound a bit 'too cool for school'. i know it's not the ultimate in avante garde, especially to fans of electronic and experimental music, but i guarantee you that very few of my friends/family/colleagues/acquaintances will have heard of pfork or boomkat. (edit) ... or any of the music/artists there-in.

lol.

I have exactly 1 of the albums on Pitchfork's list, although there's a few more I should pick up. To be honest since my hard drive crashed and I lost all my music this year I'm basically too depressed to seek out and collect new music, I've just been listening to the same Scott Walker albums (Scott 2 and Scott 4) on repeat since about June. The new one was good too.

I have had two major HD crashes and both times my taste in music got more sincere and refined, it's nice listening to core albums (old or new) instead of feeling like you have to be hip on everything new - right now I'm in a funk because so much of the music I listen to at work is via streaming
