dispatch from cape cod
Ah, so glad to have a mindless activity with which to put off finding a job… not that this is mindless; it's just that I can do it while simultaneously watching the home run derby, which is lovely.
I'm trying to toe the line here between my personal picks and influential/mass-appeal albums. These are all albums I love, and I also think everyone should have to listen to before they can graduate from high school.
Here are my picks:
NaS- Illmatic
Paul Simon- Graceland
Weezer- Blue Album
Nirvana- Nevermind
Pearl Jam- Ten
Tribe- Low End Theory
Wu-Tang Clan—Enter the Wu-Tang—36 Chambers
Beastie Boys—Licensed to Ill
Outkast—Southernplayalisticadillakfunkymuzik
RJD2—Deadringer
The Joshua Tree—U2
Bjork—Post
Lauryn Hill—The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
50 Cent—The Massacre
Green Day—Dookie
NIN—The Downward Spiral
Nick of Time—Bonnie Raitt
Madonna—Like a Prayer
Fiona Apple- Tidal
Janet Jackson—Rhythm Nation 1814
TLC- CrazySexyCool
DMB—Under the Table and Dreaming
Coldplay—Parachutes
And, of course, Jeremy Smith's the S.S. Calorie. I listen to it every night and touch myself. Still.
Some notes:
1.) I know 50's Massacre is very new. But I can't get enough of it. Dude's a beat master, very much Dre's most eligible successor. So he's a complete thug with little to offer along the lines of poetry, but straight hip-hop isn't really about the poetry. It's about how many times you've been shot.
2.) I will refrain from use of the term "bone guzzling cum dumpsters." As tempted as I am.
3.) Aden, if you plan on attending Thanksgiving dinner at the Ramey Household (yes, we capitalize), you'll need to bring three lambs for sacrifice and grow a mustache. I know what dorm my sister's been assigned to, and I'll tell you its name for a hundred grand. And then I'll lie to you. And your choice of Tigerlily for this list clearly proves your gayness, which I don't think my family will appreciate. We don't breed with your kind.

All of you people disgust me with your hip hop selections. If anyone needs me, I'll be on a 5-day bender in Charleston, SC.
what cory forgot to mention is that he's on the payroll of undergroundhiphop.com... for a whopping 23 cents a day. And that he's gay.

Julia,
I know it's strange to announce such important matters in such a public forum, but I've fallen in love with Aden. I know, there's the whole you and Mike thing that happened the last few years and it's going to be wierd when Dad asks Aden to cut the turkey come Thanksgiving, but he loves me, and I love him, and there is really no need to hide the location of my dorm room since I will be moving in with Aden and his wildly funny Doctor-Roomate come August. Please don't be mad Julia!
Love
-Katherine
If Katherine moves in with Aden and Davis, I am flying there and installing video cameras everywhere to record the ensuing hilarity. Either that, or so we have evidence when Julia shows up and kills everyone in the house...
