yeah, the aesop rock seems kind of enigmatic. my thoughts were that, now that
his music's on Tony Hawk Pro Skater and everything, he was sort of sabatoging
his own career - releasing something that's purposely cryptic and unfriendly.
Now, since he's sufficently alienated his 'mainstream' audience, only the true
fans will follow his music, making him cool & obscure again.
of course, this is kind of absurd from the perspective of trying to make money
and run a business - maybe he was just feeling the noisy stuff right then.
I heard that the SA Smash album is not to be missed, though. I haven't heard it
yet.
