They were on a previous year's list. Check next week's "best of" article too.

I could've swoon they'd been on it before, and yup, they have. Gotta fix my checking system.

No one gets preferential treatment!

Nah, names are the great leveler! We didn't mention that Nice As Fuck is Jenny Lewis, either. Or that Brothers Of The Sonic Cloth features Tad Doyle.

So true.

Yup. And?

Yup, they were on the 2010 list: http://www.avclub.com/artic…
