JK2006 I wasn't really into writing lyrics at the time... they had a big hit at the time and wanted an English translation/version but the song didn't do much for me.

Michael I couldn't let this pass without saying that the West African language Wolof is THE best language for rapping. And I'm not being a smarty-pants. Anyone remember Positive Black Soul? They have a track called "Blaw" in Wolf and English, where the pair run rings around their American guests. You'll find it on the Global Hip-Hop compilation. There's a short extract on the link below:

PSB have more or less split up. But there's a thriving scene in Gabon, Guinea, Mali and Ivory Coast. Plus, of course, Senegal. Check

Bern The pic you're looking for is called "Tote Hosen" by Andreas Gursky - I've not found a very big version online, but there's a mini version at www.wadsworthatheneum.org/view/contempor...php?art_work_index=0

You'll also find it in a few books, maybe even posters, but nothing else does justice to the massively detailed 7 x 17 foot original is at MoMA - well worth checking out if you pass through New York!

Bear in mind when you see it that "Tote Hosen" literally means "dead trousers", a German expression for "there's nothing going on"...
