When I built the list, this album was slotted here due to how I felt about the music. In researching the history of the recording, I came across what I feel to be credible allegations of rape perpetrated by Avi Zahner-Isenberg against one of his bandmates, Rebecca Coleman. I cannot in good conscience celebrate or otherwise promote anything that has to do with Avi Buffalo. After seeking the advice of my daughter, we both concluded that listing it here, would serve a higher purpose of bringing attention to the act, as opposed to wiping it from the list and effectively sweeping it under a rug.
