Dammit, I’m a jackass. String (on or around) a Stick was released in 1998. My love for it should be enough for it to be grandfathered into this century, but I know it counts for nuthin’. Even Six String Kicker only cuts for 1999. So, please disregard that track and substitute: Shinkasen TehII - Bob Log III - 2009 Still so fast, less underwear, more very fast trains.

I count 190 at this point, if I got the puts and takes right. I have exactly one song left, but it’s a good’n. If we need one final entry to hit the magic number, I’m available. ---
