I feel if people studied more music of the past they would understand how inextricably linked the two are. Medieval music can only be understood in terms of European culture, the same as Motown and New Wave.

Thank you for doing this AMA! I've followed Pitchfork for years now and I've always been especially a fan of Mark's writing so thank you for many recommendations and articles on IDM!

Would you say the Conde Nast acquisition has affected the way you approach your year end lists? I noticed that both 2015 and 2016 break trends: albums that scored fairly low are much closer to the top (Drake, Grimes, Beyonce). While score is no determinant for placement, these albums scored much lower than previous Top 10 albums. I also noted that Kendrick is really the first artist since Radiohead to get two consecutive AOTY awards.

Is this just coincidence or would you say belonging to a large company has changed your practice?
