Stripper Wives (1999)

As a former stripper, Erika Lyremark has seen it all: disrespectful club managers, cutthroat dancers, and a never-ending supply of sleazeballs. Not to mention thousands of hours in six-inch stilettos.

Make The Music 2000 is the 1999 debut album from Rozell Manely Brown, who is better known as Rahzel The Godfather Of Noise, or simply as Rahzel, a former member of the rap group The Roots. This was released on MCA Records during the same year The Roots released Things Fall Apart. This is an enhanced CD which featured the video for "All I Know". The enhanced portion is only with the lossless version of the CD.

My Vinyl Weighs A Ton is the 1999 album by Chris Manak, better known as American DJ and producer Peanut Butter Wolf. This was his first and only album made for Copasetik Recordings.

Rock Songs is a 1999 2CD compilation with some of the best rock music you could ever want. It may very well consist of songs within the Columbia/Sony catalog but it may be all of the rock you need or could handle. This was released by Sony Music Media.

At The Close Of A Century is a 4CD box set by legendary American singer, Stevie Wonder. It features many of his hit songs throughout his career, beginning with "Fingertips Pts. 1 & 2" and goes through different decades, eras, phases, and everything in between, including key album cuts. Four decades of Wonder's music explored here.

Rhino's five-disc box set Respect: A Century of Women in Music was surely assembled with the best of intentions, but it doesn't quite work. First of all, any collection that focuses solely on "the female contribution" comes off as a little condescending, no matter how good the intentions are. Still, the concept has enough weight to make for at least an interesting listen. However, any compilation that spans nearly 100 years and every conceivable popular musical genre is bound not only to be incomplete, but too sweeping to be totally effective. The scope is impressive, as are the featured artists – think of any major female musician and they're likely to be here, unless it's Joni Mitchell (Kim Gordon and Kim Deal are also missing, as are several other similarly minded post-punk rockers and various pop and folk singer/songwriters, but no omission is as shocking as Mitchell's) – but the overall effect is somewhat bewildering.
