Biting lo-fi poetry from a George Dubya fan.

Proper Propaganda sounds like Noam Chomsky upbraiding George W Bush in a debate over Iraq down your local, only for Noam to produce a snooker ball in a sock halfway through and crack Dubya round the chops. Which, Rubbish is saying, is hardly that different to the current White House definition of “diplomacy”. With scuzzy, lo-fi production which sounds like the fag-ends of hip-hop culture in a musical ashtray, Rubbish sets the world to rights with a conviction, intellect and passion sadly absent from our sanitised pop culture.
