I was talking to someone about Kanye West this week. I think last time that happened was about 2004 when a friend of mine used College Dropout as his full argument why all people going to college are stupid and why he’s never going to be as stupid as the rest of us college folks. I don’t think I even tried to argue it, I just nodded.

Finally, giving up, the fox turned up his nose and said, “They’re probably sour anyway,” and proceeded to walk away.

Ran into an old well dressed vandal that told me about this Dj Shadow Remix Project (Free Download). Some of the cuts are all ‘yeah, ok’, but a couple are all ‘damn’. I almost didn’t make it past the intro to this one, but it’s by far the most innovative without losing touch with the original.
