In response to my NY State of Mind choices, Mr Nimmo suggested the natural progression was a west coast version. So, we have 10.1 Californian cuts from 94-96, notably excluding the title track, Biggie’s Going Back To Cali, because it came out in 97. This round was a bit harder than the New York one, [...]

Gil is from anywhere, but Cathering bleeds Vegas – aptly demonstrated in today’s episode when she used her (admittedly pretty fine) rack, and presumably special [...]
Eclectic Boogaloo is back! Though, only if by back you mean has posted about being back, with a promise of a more fully realised back-ness in the future. Still.
