So Pitchfork's 200 Albums of the 2000s feature has begun. Both of my blurbs are in this first batch, so keep an eye out because I said some stuff about Scarface's The Fix and Common's Like Water For Chocolate, both pretty great albums. I'm glad that I got to write about The Fix in particular, acknowledging that it really isn't the best 'Face record of the last ten years without actually saying so explicitly.

In case anyone's curious, I don't really like a lot of the music listed, and I certainly don't think that Girl Talk or Andrew Bird (for example) released better LPs than Scarface did during the past ten years. There are certainly some great blurbs worth reading in there, though.
