Liz Colville's "Corrections to Other People's Music Writing" series (first installment here) is brilliant.
Here's a snippet from the most recent installment:
Due to an unfamiliarity with HTML, our "Top 2000 Albums of the 2000s" (November 1, 2009) mistakenly listed the albums in alphabetical order by first letter of band name instead of in long-argued-over numerically-ranked order. The resulting flood of comments about the proximity of Jay Reatard's Blood Visions to Joanna Newsom's Ys caused our server to crash, which then erased every document and website containing information about what albums came out between 2000 and 2009 and how we felt about them. We were forced to collectively recall the albums from memory and came up with the following:
Joanna Newsom - Ys
Jay Reatard - Blood Visions
Air - Talkie Walkie
Mariah Carey - Butterfly Was that really 1997? Man, time flies.
Adam Lambert - Y'all Ready For This? (We are not sure of the title of this one but believe we are capturing the tone accurately.)
Thank you!
Happy to have found your blog!
