!!!REBOOT!!!

this is not really a new post, but a repost.

was hanging with my pal The Hen t'other night

in my kitchen, when he requested, as he always does

to hear Audio Sports. I've come to realize that it is the only

record in my collection he does not possess but wishes he did...

and so we listened to it and it sounded as fine as ever

but then today when i wanted to hear it at work

i tried pulling it offa the froxx here, alas

only to find my link was crossed

with a Sonny Sharrock boot

and eye's rhymes flow

Trouser Press: For fans of space-a-delic rap, Audio Sports resembles nothing so much as the Beastie Boys being choreographed by a tag team of Neil Tennant and John Zorn. With its surreal cutting (provided by DJ Kool Jazz Takemura) and stun-gun BPM levels, Eat+Buy+Eat uses basic hip-hop elements as a base for wiggy gibbers and rasps that effectively skewer consumer culture icons. Yamatsuka is less of a presence on Era of Glittering Gas, but his hijinks add an edgy goofiness to the maliciously playful "Outlaw in Wonderland."

Pain Killer - Buried Secrets

This here is a special request for planb247, as it is Laswell-related...

wikipedia: Painkiller (also officially known as Pain Killer) is a band originally formed in 1991. Their style can be described as a mix of avant-garde jazz and grindcore; later albums also incorporated elements of ambient and dub. The three primary members of the band are: John Zorn on saxophone, Bill Laswell on electric bass and Mick Harris (formerly of Napalm Death and founding member of Scorn) on drums. The band has also had several musicians make guest appearances both live and in the studio, including Yamatsuka Eye, Buckethead, Mike Patton, Makigami Koichi, Justin Broadrick and G. C. Green of Godflesh, and Keiji Haino of Fushitsusha.

allmusicguide: Although this is experimental music, it works quite well — it's actually more sinister and menacing than many death metal groups. Very dark and very disturbing, twenty-seven minutes is almost too much to handle.
