XII -My Favorite Century: RIP Pitchfork
Here I was, January 2006, trying to get someone to enjoy the You Only Live Once alternate version of "I'll Try Anything Once" and getting no takers. I lamented to an older friend that none of my friends wanted to listen to the Strokes with me, and he said, "Get new friends."

And voila, that's the day I became a music snob.
