Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

The only rap albums I own are by a white guy from Mt. Uniacke, NS. And he's been labelled Emo Rap.

Um, yeah, that was what I intended to say. I went from "I remember NWA and PE in high school" to "I graduated from high school in 1990" to "the later 1990s."
Have I mentioned that I was a lot smarter in high school than I am now? I blame too much listening to cheezy rap music. "I like big butts" has got to kill brain cells.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I have a lot of older-white-guy rap, too (Beastie Boys, Run-DMC, Kurtis Blow, PE, Grandmaster Flash), but I like quite a bit of hip-hop that seems directly aimed at indie-rock nerds. For instance, MF Doom in all his incarnations (that's Viktor Vaughn, Danger Doom, Madvillain, and King Geedorah, that last of which would probably best appeal to Jon, I think). Uh, also Aesop Rock, Cannibal Ox, cLOUDDEAD, Lyrics Born, Latyrx, anything Peanut Butter Wolf puts out. Nerd-hop.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
The only rap album I own is De la Soul's "Three Feet High and Rising". Make of that what you will...

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I bought a Wyclef Jean album once for "Gone til November", but it wasn't the "white version" of the song that I'd wanted, but I did not cry, because his "Guantanamera" had a sample of the original "Guantanamera" and turned me onto the Buena Vista Social Club, Celia Cruz, Ibrahim Ferrer, and many more amazing musicians as well as falling completely in love with Salsa, Cumbia and other wonderful Latin music.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
