Ah, the treats you can find in ex-rental bargain bins... for just two pounds each, I managed to score heavily stickered and scuffed copies of Comic Book Villains (terribly uneven and idiotic “comedy”... but Natasha Lyonne is gorgeous throughout), Jules et Jim (the François Truffaut classic) and...
a tune i'm loving all over again from one of hip-hop's golden eras (rawkus, company flow, hi-tek, pharoah monch, all thanks to murdoch moola) when a glimmer of a black star hope fizzled into a rap wrap. dashed dreams! shocking how far mos has fallen off since. at least kweli continues to make good...
