Boots Riley and Pam da Funkstress of The Coup. The new Coup album (Pick A Bigger Weapon) features the line "We like free speech but we love free cable" that inspired title of this Bring That Beat Back episode.

Tom Silverman who founded Tommy Boy Records in 1981
limited edition non-commercial 12" Tommy Boy single (1000 copies pressed) never released due to abundant samples but highly sought after nonetheless...to the point that it has bootlegged a zillion times. Steinski is a fuckin genius!
