Pitchfork Best New Music of 2010 (and 2003)

 Joanna Newsom look at the day she will enter the Spotify world...

Pitchfork's Best New Albums page is a useful archive of the best reviewed new albums by the webzine. The archive goes back to 2002. Here you find a spotiplaylist of the best music of the first half of 2010 and - bonus - one that will help you to see if you missed something great in 2002/2003. Three songs each album: just to taste the records. I will update it on a monthly basis. If you want more frequent updates, take a look at this other blog: Pitchify. They're doing a great job, posting Spotify links for every new (and well reviewed) album.
