We're hoping that anyone who used to frequent this page didn't choose any point over the past 4 days to ask themselves "hey I wonder what taste my kids has been up to" and so they visit here for the first time in a couple years, and there's fucking Lenny Kravitz, leading people to believe we've headed down the shitter...

Besides the surprisingly low turnouts from 2003 and 2006, this is pretty much what we expected. The first half of the decade had 38 mentions, and the second half had 15 mentions. Not surprising at all and probably an indicator of what to expect if/when a 2000's mix/jams/best-of thing gets posted here.
