So essentially they just went down Pitchfork's "Best New Music" list for the year and nomintaed all those bands. Or was this voted on by Pitchfork? They couldn't have possibly picked a roster of bands better suited for the NPR listening set than this. I mean Spoon? Come on.

The nominees were picked by bloggers, writiers, cirtics and fans. Brooklyn Vegan even asked his readers to help make suggestions.

I mean it's not that big a deal, it's only music after all, but the picks are a little safe and obvious. I don't disagree with all the names on the list and I know now from what you've posted that it has to do with what the tastemakers chose, but a little more ethnicity and noise in the list would have made it a little more interesting. I just wish the bloggers, writers and critics could have pulled a few names out of left field to surprise us.
