Paul Slocum is the most baller shit ever

I feel foolish saying that my favorite piece in the show was Slocum's "Combat Rock" but I have no other option. "Combat Rock" was probably the biggest, brightest and loudest piece there. From the far end of the corridor the hacked music tracks called out for attention, and I was helpless to resist. The candy colors of the spinning tanks only served to sweeten the deal. "Combat Rock" tapped into something very basic in me. As I stated previously, I feel sort of foolish for liking it; this is because I like it for the same reasons young kids like those popcorn poppers they can push around. It was the most basic sort of fun you could look for. It was loud and bright and perfect.
