Next Sunday on my radio show I’ll be counting down my 50 favorite songs of the year. I was going to post songs 100-51 this week, although really I don’t know if I’ll have the time. (Tree-trimming tomorrow, DJing on Wednesday, something I can’t quite remember right now on Thursday…)
Looks like Pitchfork had the same idea, though. They just posted their own songs 100-51. On the bright side, some of my favorites are on there (Lykke Li and Portishead and Beach House and Solange and Annie and the Magnetic Fields all appear). Less exciting are fkacking Jamie Lidell and dumb Goldfrapp and Usher’s snoozy Love In This Club, which ranked 43 places higher than The Nun’s Litany and 15 higher than Rihanna’s awesome Don’t Stop The Music. Of the fifty songs, though, I only knew a total of eleven.
Tomorrow they’re putting up the top 50, and the rest of the week they’ll be listing their favorite albums.
