Looking back at that spreadsheet, I got both members of Outkast, Ludacris, Diddy, Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff, ODB and Redman. Definitely a more interesting hip hop label than I remembered drafting.
Man, I got some great value in the double rounds. Leonard Cohen, Roy Orbison, Randy Newman, John Cale / Robert Fripp (to collaborate with Eno obv), and Etta James / Isaac Hayes. I almost got the Traveling Wilburys back together but I couldn’t land Tom Petty.
I have somewhat specious memories of BBV (and a lot of things these days from that time period) but I do remember your posting and things like that.
One of my favorite dumb memories of Other Site is one night when I got home really drunk and went to the low-stakes MTT forum. People were nitting the shit out of it in a bunch of their posts so every OP where going all in was better than what OP did I bumped with “Shove you have the nizzles.” Like a dozen threads, lol.
Lol, I didn’t know he was here. He found me on Twitter last year I think so we caught up a bit and chat from time to time.
I totally remember that and they got mad lol.
I was right though!!
Bring on the bangers!
It’s almost reveal time @goofyballer @m_hood115 @MrWookie @FuncrusherPlus @cassette @MysteryConman
If Meb hadn’t included that addition this category had top troll potential with people submitting the bangiest Modest Mouse bangers and having Meb go ‘sorry but that’s late 90s I said early 00s you lose lol’.

Category 4
Genre crossing music. This can be two artists from very different genres coming together for a song or an artist performing something very different than their normal genre.
Get ready to let the hate out!
wait wat thought it was INDIE BANGERS
In 11th place earning 1 point
Dusty Kid - America
I guess I’m not 100% getting how this submission fits this category? It’s a DJ doing DJ things. So definitely feel free to complain about how I rated you too low for not understanding this one. But ultimately it wasn’t something that I would really listen to much, so it was doomed either way.
That’s category 5
well yeah now i know but it makes my radiohead comments nonsensical
All right, not last!
I genuinely have no idea how my pick will be received here. I get the feeling that posting this right now might set me up for 10th place lol.
We should just list all the dilla bangers. Especially the grimy detroit tech stuff he does.
Reveal coming up so I’m gonna shutup but I can bromance on Dilla till the snares come home.
I was tempted to submit something from The Moon and Antarctica for category 5 but I decided to go with something I had some confidence meb might not have heard. If I really wanted to game the category I would’ve just sent in my favorite New Pornographers song, lol.
Can confirm no one attempted to use that cheat code, so what is your favorite new pornographers song?
Declaring this one decidedly NOT a banger and also don’t get the category fit.
