Zo! and Phonte - Everything She Wants cover

Zo! and Tigallo Love the 80's was one of my favorite albums from 2008. Featuring producer Zo! and lyricist/crooner Phonte (Tigallo), these two cats made some of the whitest songs ever (Africa?

Bottom of the Pile: Apr. 8, 2015

Astro City As usual, Kurt Busiek's Astro City is creatively solid--following a superhero who's made his home on an alien planet, and has to learn to accept when it's time to hand the job over to the next generation.  It's almost the opposite of what happened with Crackerjack and Quarrel.  That said: I've been a denizen of the interwebs for nearly two decades now, and this still might be a strong contender for grossest sexual advance ever.
