yeah, I checked that out when I went home last night. I picked up a Dosh album at the Andrew Bird gig in Crawdaddy a few years back. That was on Anticon and I wasn't mad about it. But, as far as I could tell, AB never put anything out on that label.I know that Andrew Bird collaborated with Dosh on Anticon over a couple of releases, but don't think he had anything else to do with the label other than that, but the label is very eclectic, and Martin Dosh is in Andrew's band the last many years.
more than one person has recommend illmaticIt's called "Great hip-hop albums of our time" not "Great hip-hop albums of a generation ago".
