now why'd you have to go and give out my secret b-side finds? i couldn't
believe what nonsense has been written about "ooh la la" (1st single)! it's
been reviewed as if it were the greatest thing since "music sounds better
w/you"--which i'm also not fond of. what amazed me, really, was that no one
even mentioned the b-side (including urb magazine--home of the "true
school")
but every time i play it, people really dig it (vocal *or* instrumental).
my experience w/wiseguys is that they're (he's?) a real b-side kinda artist
--who can say in good conscience that "casino non-pareil" is anywhere as
dope
as "a better world pts. 1 & 2"?
