four tet on year-end consensus

"I think the media does a pretty terrible job of covering what's come out. When you see these polls at the end of the year of everybody's favorite records of 2009, they're so terrifyingly similar. And you're thinking, "There's a hell of a lot of records that came out this year, do we really have consensus that these are the top ten?" [laughs] Is everybody just kind of falling into rank somehow because it looks better for the publication? I think people kind of take the easy way out with a lot of that stuff."
