I would definitely need an entourage. The question is - how many people in it would be too much? Careful thinking needs to be done behind this.

I think the more famous you get the bigger your entourage can be.

Also you gotta love chromes auto translater. "Pleasure in fact" even.

Tuesday night Latvian time will start in the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) with the new season, which will begin the fight for the title of 30 teams. 10 consecutive season NBA games , Andris Biedrins , who has now moved to Utah " Jazz "command.
2013-2014. the National Basketball Association season will be marked by the fact that it is not only the number of teams whose goal is to fight for the honor of the champion, but the clubs are designed to stay in last place, Draft experts promising young players a great harvest next summer. Pleasure in the fact that there are potentially more than three teams, which predicts a place in the finals, and there are some teams that season deliberate sinking instead chose to struggle for the meeting, the play-off.

EDIT: Does you surname mean bear? Or is that just Chrome trying to give you a nick name?

Hearing people say these things is what me pushes me to continue uploading stuff. Unfortunately, you can't expect that many uploads during the season though. I would over-dose, if I watched 80s and 90s ball alongside the actual season that is going on.

I remember us having a lot of Del tha Funkee Homosapien fans. Did anybody get around to listen to Deltron 3030's sequel last year? I'm still scared to be disappointed by it since it's supposedly very mediocre.

Eoghan · Post #188 » by **Eoghan** » Sat Jan 4, 2014 3:56 am

I really like it but Del can pretty much do no wrong in my eyes. The guest musicians are probably the best part, the skits are kind of lame but I've never been a fan of non-music tracks. "What is this Loneliness" and "Do You Remember" are probably my favorite tracks. Compared to the first album, I think this would have more universal appeal. You don't have to geek out over sci-fi and whatnot to enjoy this as much.

I have just heard the EP that came before the album and none of those tracks you mentioned were on it so I guess I will give them a listen. Thanks for the comment.

Great to hear. Maybe you can even help me. Back in the days I used to own DJ premier mixtapes named crooklyn cuts a, b and c. The mixtapes were converted from audio tapes so the quality sucks, but it was one of the best mixtapes ever. If you do own them maybe we can find a way to share them?

Edit: Just asked youtube and it found it

same song done live by reconstruction (jerry garcia and merl saunders funk band). the horn line on this tune is pretty cool. not tower power of cool, but cool.

Looking back at this thread I never even saw that you responded to my post. I love me some Bill Withers, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, many more! Also as for my favorite EArth Wind and Fire album I'll have to go with Raise! Simply because my favorite song is on there. (Let's Groove). When I was a kid my parents bought me their greatest hits and that song just blew my mind.

To add to my music list I want to put in Electric Lights Orchestra, Huey Lewis and the News, as well as Hall and Oats.
