Thing is, most of my fears of suckage about my musical tastes are not about *musical* tastes at all (in which I am perfectly secure. I like what I like, I feel no pressure to like what I don't like.) but about more political things.
Because my parents were born in South Africa, I have this perpetual fear that I am a racist (because I was told so many times by PC American liberals that all South Africans are racist, therefore we must be racists by extension). And I fear that I cannot get into hip-hop or rap *because* I am a racist. I can actually get into white indie-boy (and girl) rap like the Beastie Boys, or Luscious Jackson, or Beck, but I can't get any further.
I suspect that it is more to do with the *texture* of rap and hip-hop, because I listen to music for texture and harmony, rather than than lyrics or melody. (Lyrics are probably *the* least important thing for me in the enjoyment of music, while they are probably *the* most important element, in fact that defining element, in rap.) When I heaar rap or hip hop that *is* "psychedelic" or textural or "stoner rap", (early De La Soul and Cypress Hill spring to mind as examples) it *does* stick to my ear and make me happy.
But still, I worry. Isn't it the most white, middle class, racist thing in the world, to *worry* about being a racist?

One of the few things we know about this album is that the artwork won't actually be a newspaper, dudes.

Yeah it that would be a daft assumption to make about something called a newspaper album that is made of many large sheets of paper and comes in a plastic bag.

Sure, big cities will still have independent shops and there will always be a market for "rare book" places, but people living in Bumfuck, Idaho aren't going to have any bookstores.
