Song's supposedly called "perfect drug", supposed to be breakbeat...haven't heard the tune yet myself, but those who have gave up poor reviews. ok w/ me, as i haven't been sweet on NIN for a long time, tho i do admire some of the man's studio shenanigans and fastrickery... also:

gotta say this rings in as bullshit IMHO. for me, as with most of the folx i know listening to the same types of music, race is of no consequence...half the time i don't even know if an artist's black or white. I rarely see any "band photos" on records and discs and have only recently been readin' related magazines and such, so how am i supposed to know? eh, if my brain weren't so muddled by ill right now i'd be able to make a much clearer point, but...I'll try it when i'm better recovered. /-dram-->/zth- ::zach@mail.tds.net:::emote!:::... ::zach@netconcepts.com:::tech!:::... ::::Rhythm::is::fundamental::to::the::spirit::.... ::::{hmmmmm}::::::::::::::::{listen}::::::::::::::q0p! ::::CARBoNCoPY2|21v.2:::::SPHERESeason1:::...... ::::internal::transmissions:::http://www.burroughs.net:::.... ::::status:nonOperational:::Please:Stand:By:::::::::01.01.97:::...
