This is my annual best-of-what-I-bought mix. I invariably miss something worthwhile (Basement Jaxx’s Kish Kash), or forget a cool cd that I bought (Gang Starr’s The Ownerz) so please forgive the omissions.
It’s a two-disc egg-stravaganza: the first is all about the guitars and the second disc is about the beats. Understandably, most of the songs are from the albums on my Best of 2003 list.

Oh, yeah! After seeing this, I can remember some other comments on these discs.
I don’t like the White Stripes. Every time I hear them I don’t get it. I like the Audioslave version of Seven Nation Army and the Joss Stone version of Fell in Love With a [Boy]. So Jack White is a good songwriter, but he should be like the Neptunes. Except I like Pharrell better than him. Thank you.
I like the “other” Kelis song you put on here way better than Milkshake, although the video for Milkshake is mesmerizing.
Outkast is really good.
That’s it for now.

You’re nuts. Don’t like the White Stripes? Weird.
You are correct about “Trick Me” being better than “Milkshake”.
You failed to mention how The Shins is your new favorite band. I assume that will be in part two of your comment. And what about Chubb Rock? What’s up with that, homie?
