Jason Gross’ annual Best Music Scribing Awards takes a look back at the dreary year for both words and music that was 2008, with a rundown of the downsizing, resizing, and wrongsizing that took up a too-large chunk of its time and his annual list of the year’s most unfortunate music writing, which includes Pitchfork’s Black Kids review that got everyone barking. But don’t worry—there are better things ahead tomorrow, when Gross lauds the year’s top pieces! (There are also a few almost-bests that get honorable mention, should you need some sunshine in your day.) [PopMatters]
