And, our boys the Dust Brothers ("Fight Club" etc.) are they just chopped
liver? the Chems first called themselves The Dust Brothers for a reason.
Or The Greyboy Allstars ("Get Shorty"). But, hey since we're all listening
to Puffy, Brittney, N'Sync, Backalley Boys, etc. they have too look else
where because the're too lazy to filter out the noize.
And, try and think of great Hip-Hop from the UK or Germany--France does a
little better.

p.s. what do you think of the new Fiona Apple? 'Fast As You Can' got a cool
break beat on the chorus.
