We all turn into our fathers

Well, I suppose this was bound to happen at some point:

[O]n November 11, Simon & Schuster imprint Fireside Books will publish The Pitchfork 500: Our Guide to the Greatest Songs from Punk to the Present. This handy paperback chronologically explores Pitchfork’s 500 favorite songs from 1977-2006, constructing an alternate history of the past three decades of popular music– one that extends beyond the typical Baby Boomer-approved canon of the Clash, Prince, Public Enemy, Nirvana, Radiohead, and Outkast.

It’s good to see those rebels over at Pitchforkmedia.com fighting against the tide. Because the above is clearly in no way like this or this.

Oh well. At least Pitchfork’s opus will be distinguished by the, um, inimitable prose style of its writers. For more on said style, see this top ten list from the great David Cross.
