  pitchfork - 2011's top album/tracks/artists

  while i’m not a super huge advocate for pitchfork - i feel like they’ve become a bit pretentious in trying to play the role of ‘indie pop rock guru’ way too hard and instead should try and have a more well rounded coverage of just the most awesome music currently out there.  AND, b/c recently one of their reviewers stated that they hadn’t started listening to bon iver until this past summer…uh, highly questionable, how can we trust someone like that?! - HOWEVER, their website can be a great starting place for discovering bands.

  their top album/tracks/artists of 2011 is up.  check it out.

  p.s. if you hadn’t already noticed i don’t really like the look of capital letters so i rarely try to use them.  but there’s a lotta that going on in this post.

  Click on the above photo to visit NYTimes spread on 5 “world class, homegrown” Iraqi photographers - most of whom were trained in various professions, but learned photography to document the plight of their country during the war, and became accepted by renowned institutions like Reuters and Associated Press. 

  Flip through their work - outstanding.  Warning, not for the light hearted.
