The Braves beat writer is pretty rad

Dave O'Brien posted his top 50 albums of the year over at ajc.com and it's pretty damn good. Aside from a few turds (Oberst, Mellencamp), I'd say this is a man with excellent taste. I can only imagine him going up to McCann and being like "Yo dude, you heard that new No Age records...shit slays check it out." He'd probably look at him funny and ask about John Mayer or something
