***this tape starts with an explicit Chris Rock quote (keep that volume down for a sec if the kids are around...or your co-worker)***
Twelve tapes in, I get the feeling that I was settling into a groove as far as how I wanted to present this series. A lot of unusual songs with a lot of ideas in the lyricism.
A little bit of counter culture in the rhythms.
I loved doing these.
