rolling stone just named their 50
uncoolest records. they did the
coolest too, a fairly mediocre list all in all. hard to walk that tightrope between too predictable and too contrary, i suppose. records (from either list) that i feel like i want to buy (if you own one of these, will you please let me borrow it?): dusty springfield--dusty in memphis; aretha franklin--spirit in the dark; the otis redding dictionary of soul; eric b and rakim--paid in full; miles davis--in a silent way; biz markie--the biz never sleeps. i have something, often several things, by all of the people in question, but, alas, i don't have the coolest examples thereof. marketing works.
