And Black Mountain put on my single favorite performance at SXSW 2008. Running into the still-sweaty singer Amber Webber in my hotel elevator after the show and drunkenly praising her band?

That said, it's probably equal parts jazz too. Why will definitely be in the Top 50 albums. The songs on this list were specifically taken from albums that aren't top ranked. Though I do like many, if not all of these albums. “Brew Barrymore” is probably hip-hop, but I wanted to fit in as many hip-hop songs as I could and it’s filed in my electronica section with all the rest of the Diplo stuff.

I know Diplo dips into all kinds of genres, but I can't wrap my head around a track like this being considered non hip-hop. How is “Brew Barrymore” non hip-hop?

Besides, though he deserved it, he probably doesn't need any more plaudits. Dude's been rightfully cleaning up in year-end's everywhere.
