on the other hand, it is slightly shocking that thom yorke´s
excellent single "harrow downhill" didn´t make the list... neither did any of the singles from beck´s new album 
oh well, at least they included The Knive two times  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

pitchfork is funny that way. they pick a bunch of obscure stuff that few have heard of and a few super popular tracks to surprise the indie kids, but they leave off some well known artists who are obviously "supposed" to be included in a best of list. | |

Actually Pitchfork is usually right on when it comes to reviews, its just that most people who haven't heard of the artist pass on it cause they haven't heard of it.
Pitchfork is a bit preachy but if you open your mind you will plug into a lot of great stuff. You just need to check the ego. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

oh well, at least they included The Knive two times I like the Knife (Deep Cuts more than Silent Shout), but THAT track as number 2 of the year?! It's not even the best on the album. | |

Yeah,I'm really surprised to see "My Love" at the top of their list. I'm loving The Knife's "Shout Shout". I knew they'd be on Pitchfork's list.  looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |

21: The Pipettes "Pull Shapes" [Memphis Industries] Happy, innocent songs about dancing are few and far between these days; happy, innocent songs about dancing that aren't annoying are even rarer. "Pull Shapes" begs to be replayed not just for pure enjoyment, but to discover all the little quirks that punch heart-shaped holes in the song's shiny girl-group façade. Quirks like the usages of "rock'n'roll" and "hip-hop" as verbs, the faint crowd noise at the end, the half-time record skip after "I like to hip-hop." And, of course, the hint of a feminist agenda behind the song's premise: a girl asking a "pretty boy" to dance. Because the personal is always political, and a dance is always more than just a dance-- even if you just wanna move-- you don't care what the song's about. --Amy Phillips  | |
