nounbeats
cartoons without clothes are as arbitrary as this country's overt distance from any concept of an open society.
...the new Prefuse 73 album is a historical object: the blurring of the idea of "underground" with "overground" can be found in the fidgety beats. Ghost and EL-P swapping syllables, old-timers GZA and Masta Killa playing chess with nouns and the the lead singer of Blonde Redhead--all within numbers of each other on the tracklisting. and its real. not like the fictional tracklistings I dream of every night where Johnny Cash and the Os Mutantes are sharing a cup of coffee with Dizzee Rascal, either. real, people. real.
