Unbest

Hello to anyone who might have clicked over here from this great New York Times blog post by Dan Kois (which we definitely would think fondly of even if he hadn’t honored us with a number-nine spot alongside The Millions’ Year in Reading, the project that inspired this project)! 

You can read a kinda long take on what Unbest is all about right here.

To put it more simply: Unbest is all about celebrating what music meant in 2011 with the understanding that those celebrations don’t always fit well into ranked or bulleted lists (although sometimes they do). We would love you to share your story with us. We’re taking submissions (from anyone and everyone—you don’t have to be “a writer”!) until Jan. 31, 2012, and you can scroll down this page to learn how to submit.

And hopefully you’ll enjoy reading everyone else’s great stories, too.

Happy New Year and many wishes for music and peace in 2012!
