Pitchfork's P2k: The Decade in Music

saw a dude in a comets on fire tee that wasnt me this week tho so idk

who wld u guise cast if u could "recast" the wire?

the wire has already been recast as a yuppie cultural touchstone ~~~ it "sold out" by mailing scrners to nyer writers and ppl i went to college with now i cant even talk about it on the internet

I was walkin down the beach and saw a lil kids day camp playin a Daft Punk's "One More Time"

^^ when i worked @ a camp this played all the time on radio disney which was broadcast on the loudspeakers

I don't see what this has to do with katy perry

do u think in the post-Wire memeverse, Mad Men "stans" are like Phishheads trying to find "importance" in their life after "Jer-Bear" died?

hey guys. i've only briefly scanned this thread, but i can tell that you all really love P4k as much as I do.

for the britishers out there, I've made a spotify playlist that features the songs of P4k's decade-defining list so far. 90 songs weren't available, so it isn't comprehensive, but it still reminds us of a great decade for music and a great decade for music writing.

P4k Reflects

Is Mad Men even like the Wire in any way apart from being a TV show?

whiney do u want to borrow my moral orel dvds? fyi the creator of that show - a notorious drunk - really likes the mtn goats and uses their songs to end a couple of emotional devestating episodes

mad men "stans" create their own reality iirc or they get leveled on the internet

Why does a lame Will Smith song always begin when I open this thread now?

I already asked that question, but it definitely bears repeating.

It's the one show where people convince themselves it's the "important" TV show they "have to watch" to "stay relevent." Sporanos invented the model

also "white ppl" love it

ppl just want to understand bro u dont have to despise them for it and ppl need to dream u dont have to h8 them for it

I think the Wire has more balls & testosterone than Mad Men does.

Gukbe, awesome, but you've got the live Twilight Sad track, not the album one

another "question" that might be "relevant" is where some of the family guy music #s will place on this list

xp white ppl also like Mexican food

You have alerted me to the fact there's a live album though!

does mexifood have more testosterone than italafood?

Gukbe, awesome, but you've got the live Twilight Sad track, not the album one

plz try to stay on topic

Willennium 4 life

do cows have testosterone?

sorry country matters, I didn't realize. It seems to be the only version on spotify tho. i hope this doesn't hurt my cred.

xposts

It's called Wilennium?!? Oy vey.

(xp)

I blame The Clash for letting Will Smith borrow their tune.

It really is the defining track of the decade because it's called Will2K and foreshadowed M.I.A>

I wish M.I.A. ran onstage during a Will Smith concert and bludgeoned him with a folding chair.

WE'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO THE WILD WILD WEST

xp - would kinda prefer the opposite tbh

lol

Hey . . . it stopped happening. Timely mod intervention, perhaps?

uh, enough posts, so that it's hidden in the "skip # messages"

Here's the album version, Gukbe: http://open.spotify.com/track/0RJdrw2FwKUvPnkWSP6L7U

...you massive charlatan :D

can we please get back to discussing testosterone and what white people like?

sorry country matters, that is really embarrassing. it makes me wonder if i missed the 90 tracks that didn't turn up. xposts.

Well, that's the very first song I checked for in your playlist. Imagine the oversights I've not gotten round to correcting yet!

re: stuff white people like. I didn't put the Alicia Keys song on the spotify playlist because they didn't have the reggae remix, but I might have put on the normal mix of SMD's It's the Beat and not the 12" mix.

Am I racist?

i was reading in reverse and didn't understand why ppl were talking about the level of balls and testosterone the wire was in possession of
