All my lies are always wishes.

Pazz + Jop Ballot

It’s an extra thrill to see the results of this year’s Village Voice Pazz & Jop Critics Poll because for the first time, I scrolled through the list of voting music critics and saw friends’ names. It was also the first year I voted.  

That said, I’m disappointed that Tune-Yards nabbed the top album spot. I can’t deal with her voice enough to even begin to like “whokill.”

Also? If you’re looking for proof that the music critic rock-dad archetype possesses a bias in favor of Wilco, look no further. I’m a Tweedy devotee, but sheesh people… “The Whole Love” is pretty forgettable.

AND THEY SAID WE’D MAKE BON IVER #1!!! Not even close.
