I’ve rejoined the ranks of the Slate Music Club this year along with Jody Rosen and Jonah Weiner of Slate and Ann Powers of the Los Angeles Times, to jawbone about the music of the year (and the decade). Jody kicked things off this afternoon; my first contribution should be up tomorrow. (I last participated in Slate’s year-end in 2006.)

Highlight so far: Jody proposes that instead of “the Zeros,” “the Oughts” or “the Noughties,” the best name for the decade now in denouement would be “the Beyoncés.”
