Haha phear the Common PEople backlash!

I am *assuming* that Born Slippy is "Born Slippy (Nuxx)" but while they specified the Los Del Rio mix they didn't specify that one.

1996 not as bad as I remembered either but all that "indie meets hip hop" stuff is pretty much totally awful.

What are you pointing the finger at precisely there?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Beck, Primitive Radio Gods, ISTR Eels and this Butthole Surfers release ploughing a similar furrow.

Butthole Surfers not meeting hip-hop, more like snide boho similar to "88 lines about 44 Girls" (if that's the title). Snide boho at its best, I should say, as I voted for "Pepper."

Born Slippy is the better of the two songs </indie>

which version?

similarly "Missing" must presumably be the Todd Terry remix

Don't think I ever saw the "(Nuxx)" appended at the time. Come to that, I don't actually know what people are referring to when they suggest there is another non-Nuxx version of Born Slippy.

Hurrah 'Common People' backlash.

I also assume 'Missing' is the Todd Terry rmx.

Stuff like Beck and Eels makes me rather horrified. WHY in the NAME OF GOD.
