...music." Still, there is a risk in making any sort of fusion album. Fusion music often ends up combining the worst elements of two styles rather than the best. But Burnside is too good of a musician to let that happen. As a blues man, he's the real thing: a former sharecropper who sounds like he belongs more on a Smithsonian Folkways recording than a concert stage. Some of the most magical moments on this latest album come when Burnside shuts off the incessant drum beat behind him and just, as they say, does his thing. Unfortunately, the dance...
...this hip hop that you swear is yet to come attack the existing canon of hip hop's objectification and hatred of women, the males' insistence that we look half-black and Filipino or we won't see them? It should and will (I have thousands of things to say on that subject). We have to keep the problems straight in our mind and not attack sexism like it's a new thing, created by hip hop.

Started by two University of Wisconsin students in 1988, the Onion got its name from the onion sandwiches on which its founders subsisted while short on cash during the publication's lean years...
This school election suddenly turns into some-thing far nastier--a subversive parody of the American electoral process. Tracy wants to win for no other reason than to have another stepping stone to another contest (just like senators want to become vice-presidents, vice-presidents presidents, and presidents popular presidents). Paul is the people's choice--an unfit leader, a complete nincompoop--but the embodiment of American wholesomeness (insert various examples from the past decade here). And Tamil, Paul's sister, is the legitimate candidate. As she screams in her election speech, "No one cares about this stupid election...
