The Skinny:
It’s always fun to go back and look at what I was doing 3 years ago on this site. I used to create these playlists every few weeks called akaRaff Radio Drops. It was a great way to find new music and share it with my friends. I used to use a site called Webjay.org to support the process, but unfortunately Yahoo bought them out, killed them, and in turn killed all of my old drops. So, I have decided to dig through my iTunes and start reposting my old playlists via some newer technology. I thank the Internet Archive and it’s Wayback Machine for keeping a snapshop of all of my playlists on file. Without them this would not be possible. So sit back and enjoy the 2005 sounds of akaRaff Radio Drop 01. It’s cool to see that some of the bands on this list have actually made it “big”. The Band of Horse’s ‘Our Swords’ was actually called ‘Base Song’ when I first posted this.

Enjoy.
