Eeriest foreshadowing of the World Trade Center attacks? That's easy: the
planned cover of the Coup's Party Music (75 Ark), a photo of DJ
Pam the Funkstress and mouthpiece Boots, his finger on the detonator, and
behind them the two WTC towers engulfed in explosions -- they even got the
floors about right. Although the San Francisco duo's new Party Music
(Tommy Boy) was still more than a month from release on September 11, a
review of the disc had already gone to press in Spin magazine, and so it
appeared on newsstands, accompanied by a shot of the offending cover. |
