He made that CD of breaks that all the Chain Reaction artists use, > and he's on the Trash compilation too. You don't dis my man Osc. One of my Bert & Ernie records has them with their arms around each other and it is called "Love", and it has a song where they are taking a bath together. Hmmm, indeed! Oscar did a song called "Noise" in which (like in I Love Trash) he lists dissonant noises, excellent for scratching... The best Sesame Street record by far is "Roosevelt franklin", with maybe the alphabet one or "Monsters!" in close second. Oh, also, on the B&E "at home" record, you get a skit about the "automatic 'R' machine", which is clearly a modular synth of some kind, and also Ernie plays the drums to Bert's knocking on the door trying to get in to their apt. solenoid
