One of the things I love the most about the new large screened iPods and other digi-victrolas, is that sometimes (if the person's library is organized the way it should be!) you can see what your travel companions are listening to. One time I saw an older lady who was totally the uptight librarian type, homely and serious clicking through her iPhone, then when she tilted it my way she was listening to Mos Def's
Ms. Fat Booty
.
So on that note today's song goes out to my man Marcus who I met riding the 6 train one morning last week. I was just flipping through my cover art when all of a sudden the guy next to me says...
"Hey man, you like Scarface?"
"Hell yeah I like Scarface"
Right between Sam Cooke, Serge Gainsbourg and Sharon Jones.
Marcus also has some varied taste. Besides liking Scarface, dude mentioned Meatloaf and Guns N' Roses; specifically that epic video where it rains so hard on Axl's wedding day that his brand new wife dies (Also Slash just gets up and leaves the ceremony to shred out a solo in the middle of the desert).
This experience inspired me to include Scarface
Song #164: Scarface w/ Jay-Z - Guess Who's Back
