Hoo-whee! Willya look at that? The 2008 Village Voice Pazz & Jop results are in! This is particularly exciting news for those of you out there thinking, “You know, reading hundreds of incredibly subjective yet predictably similar ‘Best Of’ lists throughout the entire month of December never grew the least bit tedious, but what I’m really looking for is a pseudo-scientific aggregate of hundreds of critic picks compiled with a vague point system that will settle the matter of the best music of 2008 once and for all.” Well, sir or madam, today is your lucky day! And, if you look closely among the 579 individual ballots cast, you’ll find my ballot buried in the mix. Hot shit on a stick, isn’t that somethin’? Looks like my #8 pick came in at #1 for overall albums, while my personal #1 only clocked in at a measly #66. Meanwhile, I was the only person to cast a vote for Pas/Cal’s “O Honey We’re Ridiculous” on a singles list dominated by a song that came out in 2007. Oh well, I tried.
There are also a few good essays dissecting the year that was at that link. Certainly worth your reading time if you’ve got nothing else doing at work today.
So I guess this means we can officially begin working on our “Best of 2009″ lists, right?

Todd Post-Rockist, your star is born. I’m glad someone was able to give Pas/Cal some PazzyJop love.
