It's not often that music changes your life, but Public Enemy managed the trick for me. I quote the more famous "Bring the Noise" in the title, which was covered by metal/thrash band Anthrax, but the song and video (because during this time videos were a HUGE part of music) that really blew my mind was "Night of the Living Baseheads."

Take a look at his killer artwork, accompanied by "Without Waking" and "Spinning Lecterns," both from my m2 project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jmig2k_zA8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yPIm16a0qY   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee9ZVIjkvGM   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR7TSQfxiZI
