Intervention
Song of the Summer: Das Racist's "Combination Pizza Hut & Taco Bell"
The autumn doesn't officially begin until late September. But let's be honest, emotionally speaking, it starts after this Labor Day weekend. And I just realized I never announced my official song of summer. Well, whoot, here it is.
There's no contest. Somehow, the fast food song is inspired yet the "Chicken & Meat" song -- similar subject matter included -- just falls flat. You can read more about the duo in this recent interview they did in with the Village Voice. Here's my favorite quote:
"My name is Himanshu. I am 24 years of age. I hail from the borough of Queens, New York. Queens is America's most diverse county. My parents flew to Queens from India in 1980 on an Air India Boeing 727. I now reside in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Williamsburg, Brooklyn is not very diverse. I am a Cancer, Pisces rising. I like watching television, listening to television, listening to the radio, listening to television on the radio, watching television on the Internet, and watching the Internet on a television. I also very much enjoy listening to Hot 97 on the radio. I like reading books that brown people write. My top five favorite poetic devices of all time are repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, and repetition."
