Hey Young World,

This is the November 2024 edition of 1520’s Record Report, our series of monthly articles in which we recommend things we’re currently into.

We’ve picked the name Record Report in honor of Hip Hop magazine The Source, which’s album review section went under that name and, when we were growing up, told us what was worth copping and what wasn’t. In our own small way, we hope to do the same.

2004 ‘til Infinity

This year, every edition of 1520’s Record Report will include a recommendation of an album, a movie or a video game that came out 20 years ago, in 2004, a year that is very close to our hearts and whose pop culture fundamentally shaped who we (and many other Millennials) are today.

MONK (Tv SEries)

We’re very late, but damn, Monk is awesome. Tony Shalhoub can’t miss.

Anthony Bale - A Travel Guide to the Middle Ages (Book)

An original, often funny, always insightful read on the middle ages. The audiobook is good too.

2004 ‘TIL INFINITY: White Chicks (2004)

We recently rewatched this. Don’t let anyone tell you it doesn’t hold up.

As usual, there won’t be a Record Report in December. Instead, you can expect out AOTY list.

One Love,

Marius | 1520
