1983

TOP TINGS OF TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT

So all the lists are out and we have read most of them. Reading through all the lists made me want to start an experiment this year. The experiment would go something like not allowing people to read pitchfork for the whole year and see what they would actually like instead of what they are told to like. Not to discredit the peeps at Pitchfork, but its funny to read the lists and everyone has the same joints as the last person. I am sure my tops were on some of their tops, but I dont really care about most music made these days either way. Read away...
