Pitchfork has been publishing "best-of" lists for years (their annual singles and album wrap-ups are especially popular) so it seems natural that they'd turn their penchant for classifying and cataloging music into a book. The Pitchfork 500 uses 42 critics to cover 30 years of music, from 1977 punk to 2006 crunk, and all the starry-eyed, acoustic acts in between...

But traveling with Biden during this campaign has sometimes been like reporting on a politician packaged in shrink-wrap. While his windy, off-point pontification was the stuff of legend among his Senate colleagues, Biden is now leashed to a teleprompter even when he is talking in a high school gym that is three-quarters empty. The exposure hound who in recent years appeared more often than any other guest...
