Posted this in my facebook a couple of months ago.

limit one release per artist:

1. Songs: Ohia – Didn’t it Rain
2. Weakling – Dead as Dreams
3. Burial – Untrue
4. Ghostface Killah – Supreme Clientele
5. G-Side – Starshipz and Rocketz

7. Gilliam Welch – Time (The Revelator)
8. The Bug – London Zoo
9. Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
10. Raekwon – Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…Pt. II
11. Clipse…
