Is this what we do now? The "Best Of So Far"?
In the news wasteland that is the turn of the New Year, I can buy the compulsive need for everyone to run lists of their favorite everything from "the year that was." Hell, I did it, too. But stuff happens in June. We don't need to give over our page views to "the January-June that was."
Except that we do, apparently. Sheesh.
There's not a whole lot of consensus, although Vampire Weekend and Flight of the Conchords turn up more than once.
But, just, quantifying and ranking your favorite songs is such a ludicrous concept. Do we really have to do it now twice a year?
I blame VH1.

Here's my countdown of the top CDs I purchased yesterday:
1. The Hold Steady's "Stay Positive"
Did you like it?
Wasn't in love with it the first time I listened to it, but it's growing on me. It's definitely not as good as their last one. But nevertheless, it ranks No. 1 on my list of CDs I purchased on Wednesday.
