I may have agreed with him if he said this stuff about A.D.D., but autism? That shit is no joke man. I wouldn’t have believed he said this shit if I didn’t hear it myself. Now you can hear it yourself too:

My desk is looking pretty retarded right now. I know, I know, you can’t say “retarded” any more, it’s insensitive, but honestly, my desk looks a bit slow…like it occasionally tries to eat its own shoulder when it gets excited. In its bloated stupor, my desk is currently keeping the location of Tim Fite’s new album, “Fair Ain’t Fair” a secret from me.

It’s kinda pissing me off, but much like a child with autism, you can’t get mad at the desk; it’s not it’s fault it’s being difficult. I still want to track the album down, though, because it’s being released tomorrow, and we were one of the sites that premiered a video clip from the album (in our case, the song “Rats & Rags”). I know I’ve been blogging about it incessantly, but honestly, if I didn’t have a good impression of this piece of folk-y, hip-hop-informed pop I wouldn’t be so enthusiastic. If only I could locate my copy…

Check out the Pop Matters Blog, they posted a cool write up about Fite and “Fair Ain’t Fair.” The album’s out tomorrow, 5/6 on Anti-.
