Those dates are from 2013 and are for Divine Fits, not Spoon.

You're right. I read Wiki wrong.

I'll add that on my list for things to do today.

Re: Pussy Riot’s Nadya Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina freed from prison

The way we originally read the Reuters story made it seem like their release was imminent. Based on Twitter, it seems like that is more than likely to happen tomorrow.

You're right. The story is being amended.

It isn't just about the most mentions on writers' lists. We take that data and then have a lengthy conversation to formulate the list.

I do too.

The Sampha EP that spanned 2 songs?

I find it incredible that you actually did this. Kudos to you.

We considered Burial a last minute addition, but ultimately decided not. Plus, it's an EP and we don't have any other EPs included in this list.

Lots of great albums this year, and these comments noting the various omissions prove why. Believe me when I say all of these were discussed at length before we came up with a final 50.

Phoenix is one of our Top Live Acts of the Year. We didn't like their album so much.

It's easy to get lost in his beard though.

Honestly, South Park should make an episode about people still using this terrible joke five years later.

The Setlist.fm looks to be from the setlist on the Foo Fighters' message board. Maybe "Best of You" wasn't on the set?

True, but she'll be in the East Coast that weekend. At the very least, it qualifies as a solid rumor.

Good point. We moved them from Logical to Rumored.

Hi Rike, nice to know you're still alive and kickin'! Totally hear you about the web design, though I do cringe when looking at our original format circa 2008. We actually have a surprise in store next month; hopefully you'll like it. Either way, thanks for your continued support all this time.

To not consider Kanye an actual musician is blasphemous in itself, but plenty of acts have held stage shows where supporting musicians are off stage.
