Then one of the Beta Bodega DJ's Ghyger Kounter went on. Also > >you know, that sounds fucking obnoxious. > >- wells You know, I thought so too, but it *really* depends on *which* Cookie Monster record.. All of C.M.'s early stuff is ESSENTIAL! I guess cause thats when the scene was new, the governments funding of C.T.W. and P.B.S. was goin strong and he was fresh & really inspired! If you check out any of his solo stuff during the 70's it'll would give you goose bumps!. (like "C" is for cookie) Then about the mid-eighties he really went downhill, started doing weak progressive collabs with Big Bird and Oscar the grouch and now its just watered down versions of the same old crap. Avoid all the post 1984 stuff but keep your eyes open for any pre 1980 material!
