Podcast by artist/curator TJ Norris, from Portland, OR Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:02:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 http://tjnorris.net/blog/2007/12/2007-northwest-best/#comment-30637 tjnorris Sun, 30 Dec 2007 18:30:39 +0000 http://tjnorris.net/blog/2007/12/29/2007-northwest-best/#comment-30637 I agree, 'best of' lists do suck (in general). Making no bones about it, they often suffer from the sophomoric syndrome. That's why I did one. Maybe that's why anyone does one. Well, there are probably some that are intrinsic and traditional, that only serve as end-of-year filler. As you know I am always interested in others' opinions, in turn I hope that mine simply summarize my taste. I use the typical anum (for some a big yawn) as a benchmark. As mentioned on the podcast after three or four years, mostly because I'm going to be too busy in the studio, this is most likely my last time creating such a list.

And actually FUCK Motel, I hope she did well with her "Going out of business" sale, her shoes were looking a bit out of date. Why did you do a best of… these are the worst things ever.
