My Decade in Music So Far: Stuart Berman

This week, Pitchfork shared lists featuring the best albums and tracks of the decade so far. We asked Pitchfork writers and editors to share a favorite song and album that didn't make the list, along with a music highlight and their personal Top 10s or 20s. Check back for more installments of My Decade in Music So Far.

Metz: Metz [Sub Pop]

But we just got a Drive Like Jehu reunion announcement yesterday, so all in all, it's been a good week for cantankerous art-punk.

Thee Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra: "Austerity Blues" [Constellation]

In the future, everyone is supposed to be famous for 15 minutes, but Thee Silver Mount Zion ensure their immortality in a lean 14:18. 

Musical Highlight of the Last Five Years: Digitizing and offloading my entire CD collection, thereby sparing me the hassle of schlepping at least 20 boxes in my most recent move.
