    You are way hipper than me. At least HRH Courtney and I had some things in common. My list.

    It’s not a matter of being hip, but of just being from a bit different musical generations. Forgive me for not attributing you as the source from where HRH Courtney culled the idea for her list. Thanks for visiting! Come back again soon!

    Good stuff APN. I just posted my list at http://www.sketchthejournalist.com if you want to peep it.

    By the looks of things you’d think I ONLY listened to holy hip hop. My music diet is little more expansive than that, but then again, there is a TON of that stuff on my hard drive. :)
    Enjoy.

    Oh yeah, Listener Project was weirdly good. I’ll try to toss up a photo recap blog on it this weekend and let you know when it’s live.
