why didn't 'The Mermaid Sessions' get Best New Music?
Two great artists - Wilco and Billy Bragg - put together a great record from some old recordings of them together and Pitchfork give it an 8.1. Usually this would be plenty enough to nail them on for a Best New Music endorsement but for some reason they get completely ignored.
One can only imagine that this is because it's folk music and not some buzzband!!!
