23 December 2009 — Hipster Runoff's Lists
Hipster Runoff have their list of "The Most Authentic/Relevant/Successful Artists of the Decade (The Best Albums/MP3s/Songs/Artists/Bands/Humans of the Decade)". It's huge, but there's a lot of gold in there. Of course, it's always hard to tell how deep the joke is, but it's certainly a more entertaining best-of-decade list than most.
A sample line:
I feel like Grizzly Bear is the Most Authentic Band of the second half of the decade. Some how, their latest album ‘charted’ at #6 on the mainstream charts. That seems pretty successful. I feel like the thing most music critics hold against Grizzly Bear is ‘not being from the first half of the decade.’
