    Hey there folks; myself and my friend were lounging about my house the other day and decided to make ourselves productive. The result is as follows - a rap review of Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky and On The Road by Jack Kerouac:

    Done for the ****s and giggles really; getting barmy about books! Headphones are advised btw, for the BAAAASSSS!

    PS. In case anyone would like to know we sampled the piano riff from Kerouac's recital of 'I'd Rather Be Thin Than Famous':

    Pretty good for messing around. Although I would have liked to know how C&P finishes, I made it about 3/4's of the way through and gave up.

    I only read Notes from the underground, but I like the idea.

    Very Flight of the conchords.
