No - I keep forgetting! But now you've made me mad about that dumbass list again by reminding me of Keak da Sneak (not on the list although that's probably fine) and therefore his appearance on The Outsider by DJ Shadow (who's nowehere on the list and that's ABSOLUTELY NOT FINE.)

I mean, it's a great album, with probably two standout tracks (the title and That's When Ya Lost), but add Del, Casual, Pep Love, etc, and that's magic. I'm from Oakland though, so I'm not gonna argue about adding even more east bay rap to any list.

Deltron 3030 should be top ten. Not sure if I'd put a Souls album on over Full Circle by Hiero.

Young Thug in the top 6? This list is the worst thing ever published.

There should be a minimum of three Tribe albums. Where's the Automator? Where's anyone from Solesides? The only Kanye album is fucking Yeezus?

Effinger was a tremendous writer and it’s so sad that his health and personal demons took him too soon.

Eric Axelson and Joe Easley (the rhythm section) have a new band called Milliseconds which is absolutely worth your time: milliseconds-band.bandcamp.com/album/so-thi...

I recognize that we don’t have a lot of great options, but I don’t understand why VP isn’t dropping Agbadou after these repeated disastrous performances.

The graphic novel is also compelling.

I mean - I regret to bring up the Bill Nighy Christmas song from Love Actually but I think it meets the requirements.

Everlast, the main dude from House of Pain, featured in the execrable movie Judgment Night. (The soundtrack is amazing though)

As a native alum of 80s Oakland, it feels like a bizarrely specific fever dream that targets my peers and has no relevance to anyone else. I loved it. I can’t recommend it.

Steve, I need two thousand words on why Fields of Gold is being used for hype music. I want a minute by minute exposé of the meeting where this was decided. This will be award winning, I assure you.

I remain so mad that I can’t buy a 4K copy of Strange Days (or a vinyl copy of the soundtrack for that matter!).

just can not shake the feeling that democratic leadership really believes they are just a couple votes away from the halcyon times of enjoying senate softball and seersucker suit day
