Me vs. Pitchfork: The Top Albums of The 2000s I've Actually Heard
I happened to check out Pitchfork's list of the Top 200 Albums of The 2000s. I looked at the top 20 first, and realized that I owned seven of the albums on CD and liked another three. I had actually listened to half of their list.

The Worst Song I Hear At Work

It's the same stuff all the time, a surprisingly eclectic mix which includes R&B, rock, pop, and upbeat dance (of the "Cotton Eyed Joe" and "Ready For This" variety). One moment "Walk That Dinosaur" is playing and the next, "Ballroom Blitz." However, there is one song that I can't stand that they always pla

There's a dollar store right next to where I work and I go there nearly daily to buy TV dinners for lunch, drinks, candy, and other stuff.A few days back, I saw that they got some music CD's in. I didn't take a look at their selection until today but I found an interesting variety.
