oh man, i’ve been reminiscing about good music and i had a flashback to HANDSOME BOY MODELING SCHOOL, a collaboration between DAN THE AUTOMATOR and PRINCE PAUL. the first album was my favorite and i JUST realized ROISIN MURPHY was on one of my favorite tracks featuring J LIVE. i loved her even before i knew who she was!

muse: ROISIN MURPHY
wow, i live. i was recently introduced to her music and style by my friends SHANNON and RAUL. at the last 1992 party they RAVED about her and i had to do some research. aside from having dope music, her style is phenomonal. she pushes boundaries and that’s so refreshing during rough times like this. any of my overseas peoples into her? do tell…
*as RAUL would say “GAG, BITCH” (while snapping his fingers)!
“SOW INTO YOU”
“MOVIE STAR”
