- Too Many Rappers (New Reactionaries Version) [feat. Nas] (Beastie Boys & Nas) Sonically rich... striking and melancholy that MCA revised his verse with lines like "Stay up all night, and I MC and never die / Cause death is the cousin of sleep" to "Like a Nexus-6, comin' home to roost"
- Soul Bossa Nostra (feat. Ludacris, Naturally 7 & Rudy Currence) (Quincy Jones) Heard about this album in those recent interviews he's been doing - fun version of a song School of Honk does.
- Bang! Bang! (The Knux) These guys deserve a lot more attention, amazing flow.
- Sanford and Son (feat. T.I., B.o.B., Prince Charlez & Mohombi) (Quincy Jones) like Soul Bossa Nostra - finally looked it up, that amazing didgeridoo-like sound from the original is a bass harmonica
- Ding Dang (From "Munna Michael") (Javed Mohsin, Amit Mishra & Antara Mitra) Looking for Brian Wilson I found Bollywood, and how.
- Do You Love Me (Single) (The Contours) So popular when I was high school (I guess because of "Dirty Dancing", I was surprised it hadn't made it into my collection before this...
- So Long (Fats Domino) I think Alan Freed played this as a farewell when his pioneering rock and roll radio show was shut down
- Blood Makes Noise (Suzanne Vega) Missed this song back in the day.
- Want It Back (Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra) Great video, and not just because of the nakedness
- Ain't I (Lizzo) Raw.
- Opps (Vince Staples, Yugen Blakrok) Hiphop the "Black Panther" sound track.
- Which Side Are You On? (The Freedom Singers) Looked for a version, something BABAM might want to put in their playlists.
- The Jabari, Pt. II (Ludwig Goransson) Cinematic stuff from the "Black Panther" sound track.
- Space Lord (Monster Magnet) Southern rock, I guess?
- When My Dreamboat Comes Home (Mr. Boogie Woogie) Looked for this song when New Magnolia was going to do it. Mixed feelings that the version I picked turned out to be so Dutch...
I'm not the biggest basketball fan but Lebron's nutmeg and James Harden's "what are you doing" stare were both pretty great

I never knew a blacksmith who was in love with his hammer.(Vonnegut cites that after Renata Adler defining a writer as somebody who hates to write.)
