as much as i refer to macluhan as "wacked out," i fully recognize him as a
landmark man of intellectual thought and media criticism. his ideas and
insights were phenomenal for his time (which leans him towards "wacked
out"), and his foresight into the problems of television constantly amaze
me. and due to his influence (& of course my minor in media criticism) the
turntable replaced the tv months ago and the car proudly boasts the "kill
your television" bumper sticker..

anyway, dope record with excellent sampling opportunities.. black and
white with a face shot of a woman with her mouth WIDE open.. keep your
eyes open...
