Top Lists of 2010, F**k Yous
After looking at Pitchfork’s Top 50 Tracks of 2010 all I can say is the staff has gone Air Supply on us. Ten of their picks actually have some sort of urgency behind them. The rest of the list is expected. For one, choosing “Rill Rill” off “Treats,” an album filled with aural assault galore, is like a coma patient phoning it in. Are you guys kidding? Ha. I bet. I’m not a music critic. So not I’m not going to sweat a paragraph of carefully chosen words out but I offer you this, a purist’s vision.
50. Cults “Go Outside”
A fuck you to boring people.
48. Best Coast “When I’m With You”
A fuck you to heartbreak, sung by a voice that can melt cake frosting.
42. Japandroids “Younger Us”
A sexually charged, fuck you to death.
41. Deerhunter “Helicopter”
A moody, fuck you to diminishing returns on the effects of drugs.
39. No Age “Fever Dreaming”
A raucous, life affirming fuck you to quitters.
33. Zola Jesus “Night”
Hey daylight! Fuck you.
31. Girls “Carolina”
A fuck you to letting go.
25. The Walkmen “Angela Surf City”
Work and school, fuck you.
15. Crystal Castles “Not In Love” featuring Robert Smith
A fuck you to doubting.
14. Sleigh Bells “Rill Rill”
Fuck you Marimba ringtone and the same to you orthodontic haters.
