i'm really surprised that no one's mentioned the "stone cold boners" yet.
another bangs thang that showed up on 2 acid jazz comps on the scotti bros.
label (at least in the us). "lesson one" and "words from the motherland" are
both grooves overlaid w/didactic spoken word. the first deals w/racism as
shown by white musicians being more successful than the black innovators of
various musics (e.g. jazz, blues, rock & roll), and the second is a swahili
lesson intended to get blacks used to hearing an african language (and
thereby feeling more connected to their heritage). makes me wonder about mr.
bangs' ethnic extraction...

... you wouldn't understand, it's a *jazz* thing...
