The latest issue of Mondo 2000 (Nina Hagen cover) has a Carl Craig interview in which he explains the title "More Songs about Food and Revolutionary Art". From what I remember, the title was actually a reflection of some personal obsession with food (Captain Crunch or something). Thats no joke. For the record, there are also interviews with Speedy J and some others. ---------- >From: "Irene McC" <xxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx> >To: xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx, xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx >Subject: Re: (idm) carl craig recommendations? >Date: Mon, Apr 13, 1998, 2:15 PM > >While this thread's up and running - > >Ever since I first saw Carl Craig's title "More Songs about Food and >Revolutionary Art" I've wondered whether this was a nod at Talking >Heads' album titled "More Songs About Buildings and Food".
