Now who managed to forget Saul Williams?? I love his track on the
Ninja Tunes "Xen Cuts" retrospective/compilation.
There' also the William S Burroughs/Disposable Heros of Hiphoprisy
"Spare Ass Annie and Other Tales" where Will reads passages from his
work--My favorite being "The Man Who Taught His Asshole to Talk" from
_Naked Lunch_.
