The gentleman this movie is based on lives on my old street. I played baseball with his kid.

I suggest starting out as I did. Listen to BBF3 by Godspeed and prepare to have your musical tastes forever changed.

I have nothing to add, but feel the internet needs to know my top 10 for the year.

Little Brother
I like to imagine there is an alternate universe out there where The Minstrel Show was the biggest hip hop album of the decade. The genre's deconstruction by Little Brother gave birth to a new generation of talented wordsmiths. The hip hop charts were littered with intelligent work.

Damn kids
Get off my lawn.

Hoop Dreams
is still my favourite documentary.

Grunberg
Of course Greg Grunberg is personable with fans, he hears everyones thoughts. He knows what you want.

Pablo
Sandoval isn't really a power hitter. He just has 9 home runs so far, his offensive value comes from his ability to make contact with anything. For his career, he still has less home runs than Sosa had in a good year.
