I went through and tried to make a top 50. This is so premature since I haven't really looked deeply into my 00s catalog in a while, but I was just surprised at how much less I like rap/hip hop than rock. Lol, no metal either. And Jake, I tried, I mean really tried to not have Funeral as my #1, but it just didn't feel right. It's in my genes at this point.

almost at "September" levels of joyfulness

Where's Your Head At >>

whoa apparently romeo was released with where's your head at in its original run but then split individually afterwards. Tho I prefer Romeo, that's a powerhouse double bill on a single

My thoughts exactly

Floored by A Grand Don't Come For Free. A record that has unexpectedly stood the test of time.

Yeah I thought the same, killer combo for a single

Us Placers might need to make an appearance on my revised singles list.

I'd grown cold on Burial's Untrue the last couple of times I tried to listen to it, but right now it's starting to do its magic again.

Here's hoping that Spank Rock's YoYoYoYoYo places well on the final list. That is definitely an album that needs to be internalized in the 2000's cannon. Indecency rendered profound.
