I don't have fun. Actually, I had fun once. In 1962. I drank a whole bottle of Robitussin cough medicine and went in the back of a 1961 powder-blue Lincoln Continental to a James Brown concert with some Mexican friends of mine. I haven't had fun since. It's not a word I like. It's like Volkswagens or bell-bottoms, or patchouli oil or bean sprouts. It rubs me up the wrong way. I might go out and have an educational and entertaining evening, but I don't have fun. -Tom Waits

I’ve always been a word guy, I like weird words and I like American slang and all that and words that are no longer being used… I like to drag them out of the box and wave them around… this is an interesting one, it’s amazing how in addition to punctuation just a little pause in the wrong place can just completely transform the meaning of something.

MF DOOM - Bookfiend (prod. by Clams Casino)

Let me start off by saying that MF DOOM’s incredible lyricism really makes Bookfiend what it is. He spits some of the best verses I’ve heard from him in a while. You’ll definitely want to read along with the lyrics at least once to fully appreciate this song’s inherent complexity. As you might guess from the track title, MF DOOM describes his undying love for books, but in an incredibly profound and roundabout fashion with extremely well structured metaphors and double entendres. I also love how Clams Casino can produce some of the trillest beats ever, such as for A$AP Rocky's outstanding song Palace, to concocting this hauntingly psychedelic instrumental tailored to an abstract hip-hop artist like MF DOOM. He’s unarguably one of the best new school producers in the game.
