Um, did I miss something?  If memory serves, Wonder Mike is one third of
the Sugarhill Gang (a fact that I believe is underscored by numerous
self-referential shout-outs within the song itself).  Perhaps Wonder
Mike is expanding his boundaries...  Or perhaps there's another Wonder
Mike at IRCAM who finds this all wonderfully, terribly amusing?

In any case, it seems clear that microsound really needs a major label
to step up and cash in on its street cred, bringing its raw,
irresistable charm to the masses in the form of a handy one-hit-wonder.
Following the Sugarhill Gang's example, we need a hastily-asembled trio
of laptopians who will extend the influence of our pocket protectorate
into the homes, cars, and high school gyms of the world.  Oh, if only
Fenn'O'Berg had been picked up by Columbia, our streetcorners would at
this very moment be awash with sine waves and bathed in an intricate,
granular shimmer.  One day, my friends, one day...

That is all.
