White Flight is a band we know is good because we would not be afraid of having this conversation with Danish about them:
Me: Have you heard of White Flight? You can download some here.
Danish: Are you about to say something racist?
Me: Probably.
Danish: Do you mean the band or the sociological concept?
Me: I don’t think sociological is a word, but I meant the band, although I am shocked you haven’t read this essay.
Danish: Repent. And Thomas Sowell, are you serious?
Me: Thomas Sowell is the man and if you read his autobiography, you would know that.
Danish: I don’t read white autobiographies.
“The Condition (remix)” — White Flight (mp3)
“Song for Augustine Pt 2” — White Flight (mp3)
“Deathhands (remix)” — White Flight (mp3)
Me: First of all, that’s a racist statement and you know it, although me telling you that you are racist is also racist, so forget I mentioned it. Anyway, that’s an untrue statement, I saw you reading the Bill Clinton book a few summers ago.
Danish: That was before 9/11.
Me: I actually don’t think it was.
Danish: Don’t contradict me, I won’t blog anymore.
Me: OK, OK, jesus that will teach me never to ask you if I’ve heard of a band.
Danish: The answer is always the same. Yes.

Rolling Stone has another new artist for you. When Butch Vig produces your album, you’re hardly off the radar screen, but (1) I like Butch Vig, I mean look at this guy!
and (2) we are hardly trolling the nightclubs of Orlando for the next big thing either.
