Yeah, it was a real hit here at WTSC (the frat boy DJs loved to play it
so much that we removed it from the library and hid it in the Music Room!).

No, it really was created that way. Why, I could not tell you. However,
Sinead has mixed rap into her music before -- in the video of "I Want Your
(Hands On Me)." I forgot who the rapper was, but she was female; maybe
M.C. Lyte? Anyone?

You're welcome in retrospect

Since me and Jon have been seconded each other's recommendations, I figured
I'd say to go ahead and go for the Negativland. They are a California group
who does sound collages, mixing and general cutting in their quest to show
the world the true nature of pop culture. Quite fun to listen to...

Oh, I also have to agree that Penn's solo effort is blah.
