A selection of ratings from Pitchfork this wk:
5.9 Say Hi: Oohs and Aahs
5.3 Silversun Pickups: Swoon
7.1 The Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound: When Sweet Sleep Returned
8.1 Bill Callahan: Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle
As usual, the obscure take the top prizes. They did have a review of Radiohead’s reissues, and they liked everything except Pablo Honey. Just for the record.
They gave it a 9.6 and here’s the interview

You know the “they.” And here’s an interview with the recipients, Animal Collective. I was sold when I heard “The Purple Bottle” for the first time on the college radio station. Looks like they’re heading out to Europe first, (besides the big three) and then hit up the states in May. This concludes the most Pitchfork-centric post I’ve ever written.
The best:
(Dave Portner): We don’t always like to be so forceful with what [our songs are] about, because a part of listening is developing your own thoughts or emotions about something. And volume of vocals plays a part too, because we don’t always put the vocals at the loudest level for people to understand every word of our songs. Sometimes we think we have, but even then, people don’t always understand what we’re saying [laughs].
