People like it cos it's funny - I'm just wringing my hands about why we find it so - I have the sickest sense of humour, but am still puzzled as to why I find violence and tragedy funny!

Andrea Parker has collaborated with DJ Assault many times on vinyl - he's played at her events, she's played at his. What's going on there then?! On the one hand I feel that being opposed to anything with tends to demean woman or fosters that attitude, is the right stance to take, but on the other, I wonder whether I'm missing some modern (or post-modern) sophistication which I might actually agree with, if I could understand it. It's something I'd like to explore. Having said all that, some 'booty music' with or without lyrics can be both fun *and* non-sexist. E.g.s: http://www.discogs.com/release/2169 http://www.discogs.com/release/46784 http://www.discogs.com/release/30028 Or are these more 'ghetto bass' or 'Detroit bass' than 'booty'? (I'm not enamoured with categories and fine distinctions myself but some are.)
