I'm so awesome, I scooped pitchfork twice

(For those who don't know, pitchforkmedia.com is a website that publishes music reviews of the uber-snobby/"indie"/hipster variety. They're rather well-respected and well-hated in equal measure by hipster ilk; they are, for better or worse, pretty much the gold standard in online music criticism.)


I just read Pitchfork's "Overlooked Records 2008" feature, which came out today, and felt a twinge of music-nerd pride when I saw that I had already glowingly praised a couple of their selections--in one case, lonnnnng--before they did:


Umm, Pitchfork... I'm not overlooking Paavoharju's "Laulu Laakson Kukista." It made #5 on my mid-year best-of '08 list, like, three weeks ago.

Annnnd...

Black Mountain's "In The Future" is definitely a great record. But I knew that when I put it at #13 on my best-of-the-whole-year list... last year.

BUUUUUURN!
