I am still dreaming of an elliptical for this kind of thing. The cost isn't even a problem compared to WHERE TO PUT IT?

Seems like it! She still as the 🐦 link on her website, but last tweet was April.

Well, now I have to have to check them out! Mainly for the name, not the NYT shout-out

No artist name comes to mind, but I feel like most of the bands get a lot of radio play fit this description?

Gotta fire Amazon! Sadly it still does a lot for my household in terms of both convenience and cost- and even access (spouse is an academic a lot of booksellers are on there). BUT using Amazon literally directly helped trump get elected (via Bezos BIG donations), nevermind all the other reasons.

Ooh, this looks both hard and hopeful to read, in a way that I expect from Black Women writers. Excited to read this one!

Excellent reminder! ALWAYS WEAR GOOD EAR PROTECTION!! I've been wearing earplugs for decades, but I'm embarrassed to admit how long it took me to get *good sound quality* ones for the amount of shows I go to!

Well, my kiddos are 6 years apart, so even that tracked for me. My teen had a "back in the day" mix of "music from childhood" on the other night with Jimmie Eat World, Keane, The Shins, Snow Patrol, Death Cab, etc. And I was like "those were all my old albums before I got rid of CDs!"

You have a solid list, and I totally relate! For me, it would be all ATCQ, The Roots, and De La if I didn't limit myself to one album per fav artist.

I found this super solid list to aid the 90's hip hop deep dive (I'm currently bopping to Souls of Mischief hiphopgoldenage.com/list/top-100...

Gotta say, I do love the spot on shade of this one.

Oh I know!! It was hard! (See my several disclaimers, addendums and shoutouts to artists that didn't make my list.

Oh I'm so sorry, that sounds hard. Maybe this reading phase of life is finding any book you can mentally digest, enjoy and brings joy! And probably in audio format!

I feel so lucky that I got to read that in public HS 30 years ago. It helped me really understand what readinghistory is really about and what stories to look for.
