Pynchon & rap

[Dave Monroe]

David Toop is now up to Rap Attack 3: From African
Jive to Global Hip-Hop(London: Serpent's Tail, 1999). 
See also his Exotica: Fabricated Soundscapes in a Real
World (London: Serpent's Tail, 1999), and Ocean of
Sound: Aether Talk, Ambient Sound and Imaginary Worlds
(London: Serpent's Tail, 1996.  I'm not sure if the
new cover on the latter = a new ed. for 2001 or not
yet ...
