New Criticals

Last week, Pitchfork released their list of the best tracks of the 20-teens so far. And it is mostly inoffensive! Sure, it marks the moment where Pitchfork lists start to maybe "Best-Week-Ever" themselves, having covered all available decades and instead beginning to canonize the recent past. And yes, it's "presented by"  Beats, a company coincidentally in search of a captive audience for its fledgling streaming service so that Steve Jobs might produce one more evil smirking emoticon from beyond the grave.
