#220 - The Promise Ring - Red & Blue Jeans
as far as i’m aware i’ve gone 145 tracks without posting any classic 90s emo yet. the remaining 220 will definitely resolve this.
#221 - Mos Def - Mathematics
Think The Ecstatic actually turning out to be half-decent, a decade after the only Mos Def solo record i could stomach is one of the most surprising things of recent years. Though to say i’m merely stomaching tracks like this is probably doing Black On Both Sides a huge disservice
#222 - Onyx - Throw Ya Gunz
WOOOOOOOOOORD UP
RAISE IT UP
#223 - Eels - Cancer For The Cure
Like to thing the black rider esque percussion of this led to tom waits becoming a fan, and subsequent howls on going fetal years later.
#224 - Tag Team - Whoomp! (There It Is)
This one goes out to Barack Obama & the cast of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
#225 - Destroyer - No Cease Fires!
I don’t know who supered86 is but apparently he’s a ‘big deal’
#236 - The Beta Band - Dry The Rain
Yet another ridiculous gap of knowledge for me, but this + a few singles are really great. I look forward to one day delving into their work properly and finding out this was totally the wrong choice. Nice enough though.
