Yay for William Elliott Whitmore! He's awesome. Funny to see Young MC in there with Aesop and Minor Threat.

posted by Lipstick Thespian 23 March | 20:27

Yeah, Young MC is a cheesy throwback, but if it doesn't make you shake your ass just a little bit, you may not have a pulse.

Will Whitmore is fantastic. I've been listening to Hymns for the Hopeless every night before bed lately. It gives me fun Cormac McCarthy-esque dreams...

Both my lists are random play from my "Recently Added" bin (of about 2500 tracks), which explains some of the continuity. As far as I can tell, in Songbird, "random" is actually random, not a preset list of "random" numbers. I loathe non-random randomizers.
