By Josh Jackson on 10:34 AM on November 23, 2008

We've just released our collective Top 50 at Paste, and there's been the usual response both on our site and others' about what you think we missed, what we got wrong and what the list really should have looked like. Since this was a collaborative effort with votes from staff and some of our regular critics, everyone would have made this list a little differently, including me. Here's my personal top 10 (i.e. the actual 10 best albums this year).1. Bon Iver—For Emma, Forever AgoSome albums stampede their way into your brain, others creep in during the middle of the... read more

By Henry Freedland on 9:52 AM on August 12, 2008

In 1839, an American writer and explorer named John Lloyd Stephens was sent to Central America to serve as Special Ambassador. He traveled around the continent during his time there, and, after happening upon Mayan ruins at Copán, visited almost 50 other such sites, gathering material for a travelogue that has long been credited with enlivening modern interest in Mayan culture.... read more

Walkmen release You & Me early, donate proceeds

By Veronica Sepe on 10:00 AM on August 1, 2008

Their latest offer, You & Me, will be available on the cheap three weeks early, via the interwebs. But the group has perhaps one-upped Prof. Gillis by adding a new and quite refreshing twist to the lesson: They will be pairing up with Amie Street, an online indie music marketplace, to donate all the proceeds of the $5 album to the Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.... read more

Girl Talk's Feed the Animals gets 14-video treatment

By Adam Daniels on 2:00 PM on July 22, 2008

Ever since 2006's Night Ripper thrust Greg Gillis and his musical project Girl Talk into the national limelight, he has been one of the most polarizing figures in popular music. Many feel Gillis is cheating the system, stacking the musical tape deck if you will. Sort of like how the Yankees can afford Rodriguez and Jeter in the infield (not that Young Berg and Tony Basil are exactly Jeter and A-Rod, but you get the idea), it just doesn't quite seem right.... read more
