It appears that Achewood is officially mainstream.  Does that mean we have to start hating it now?

Man.  There goes my indie cred. 

Oh, wait!  I forgot.  I never had any!

I reckon that once you start accumulating rogue message boards, you're officially "arrived" and Time Magazine is more a confirmation of it than an actual next-step-up.

Does anyone know if this was in the print edition or just on the website?  We don't have to worry about being totally boringly mainstream unless it was in print, right?

Looking at the other top 10 lists on that site, it seems online only.  My dad gets both Newsweek and Time, I think, so I can find out in a couple days if no answer by then.

I was really surprised to see Erfworld in there. Hopefully this will prod them into updating on a more regular schedule

I checked yesterday-- it wasn't in the print edition. My dad thought i was a fool, because I said "oh! the new Time!" and then grabbed it, flipped through it too fast to read anything, and then put it down disappointedly.

I have never heard of any of the other things in the top 10, I believe. I had also not heard any of the "songs of the year."

I think Erfworld is definitely worth a look. It felt like it started kind of slow but maybe that's just because I was reading the pages 2 a week as they were being put up instead of straight through.

I still haven't actually heard anything from LCD Soundsystem's latest album although I keep hearing how great it is. But I bought their last album due to glowing reviews and only kind of like two songs.

It is weird to me that I have not heard the "Songs of the Year," considering I am in charge of New Music at a radio station.
Lately I feel like I am pretty bad at my job. The other Music Director reviewed almost 100 CDs this semester.

I know! Pretty soon TOUAMB would have been swamped by a ton of little teenage shits who were into prescriptive grammar and celebreality TV.

Oh man, I hate on some snot-nosed punks who don't realize that a preposition is a perfectly fine type of word to end a sentence with.

Victoria does not have nearly enough tiny cans of Dr Pepper, don't you agree?
