- Numbers are numbers
- Artist names are Last, First
- No articles in front of band names or album titles (ie. A, An, The)

Part of the fun of this project is also re-discovering old favorites. From List #93 (June 2000) is Hungry Ghosts' "Alone Alone". Amazingly, the folks at AQ didn't have much to say about it at the time. But years later they recognized its greatness.

Two more blurbs to write and then I'm done and can click "Publish." Time to crack a beer and make sure all the links work.
Apologies in advance, my laptop keyboard has several keys that stick sometimes. Don't even think about pointing out any typos.

Ever since I saw a framed BRK-A stock certificate on the wall in a friend’s dad’s home office in 1998, this has been my dream.
I don’t know how many shares you own, rich old man…but I own a fraction of one.
We are equals now.
