Remember earlier this year when Pitchfork felt it necessary to actually review The Beatles' catalog? That was awesome. Is their any other website that could pull off such unfiltered pomposity in feeling they could actually say something new and worthwhile about The Beatles that nobody else had thought of in the past 40+ years? Just think, mankind once spent decades wandering the wasteland of a perplexing society, pondering an uncertain afterlife without the knowledge that Beatles For Sale rates a 9.3, or Please Please Me is a 9.5. Congrats, Animal Collective! You're better than the damn Beatles! Simply stunning.
Here's my point. There are times when you have to admit to yourself that you have little to add to the discourse of a particular topic. In the case of "Ignition," (the song with "Remix" in the title though there's apparently no non-remixed version), once John Darnielle constructed a list of 100 reasons to describe it's greatness, it became obvious that further dissemination would be clearly unnecessary.
