Was playing this yesterday (continued big ups to TheSlag), enjoying it immensely as usual, but get this...
This morning I walk into the Italian coffee place next to work and I spy a half-concealed 45 on the shelf next to the biscotti with Disc JoXXX written on it... Could there possibly be a 45 of Prisencolinensinainciusol sitting on the shelf of my favourite Kensington coffee palace?!?!?!?
"Is that an Adriano Celentano record up there?" I ask... "Yes, it is... You know it?" Asks the nice Italian man who runs the place who is also a keen roadie... Cue awesome conversation about the genesis of rap/did it start with this song?/why didn't Celentano do any other songs as good as this?
Great coffee (decaf), great start to the day... :D -
Joe this^ is fucking AWESOME! Wow.
Surely Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie and all those guys were rapping? All the songs with 'Talking' in the titles...
And what about Icelandic folk stories? They were banned from singing by their Danish oppressors hundreds of years ago, so they 'rapped' their folk stories over music... that's why Bjork has a talky way of singing, from their folk style.
Just sayin'.

She's got such a great voice but I only really hear that on the Parting Gifts stuff, in The Ettes she's just another bad attitude female vocalist... I hope her and Greg do more stuff cuz she has a stellar future ahead of her... Best female voice I've heard in I don't know how long...
