“I’m particularly happy not being a music critic right now, during Top Ten season. I hate making lists. First, I’m not very good at them, but even more it’s that these are things to be “good” at. Silly, isn’t it? And seeing these decade things, watching hands furtively trying to gather the sprawled mess of ten years of art into a one-page feature that says more than I care to read about Radiohead and the internet just feels… hollow. I feel for Joe Public who goes out and buys Merriweather Post Pavilion or Dear Science because of a rock critic’s recommendation. They certainly won’t let that happen again.”
