Why is this site's images & sections un-even?  The size and everything looks screwed up.
It's probably because you don't have a 800x600 screen or are not using Internet Explorer 4.0+/Netscape 4.51+

"Subliminal Plastic Motives had tons of guitars on it and I was going to all these rock stations and playing all these f*****g rock clubs...I was kinda of more into Prince and f****n' Big Daddy Kane and LL Cool J and makin' beats and stuff.  And I think I kinda gave the wrong impression on the first record"

Probably not till late 99' or 2000.  Who knows.  It's going to rad (duh)!
