| Mark Levinson's Guide to Better Sex didn't jimmy cliff do the soundtrack for the soon-to-be released motion picture based on the book? as i recollect its titled "the harder they come." -cfb | |
| Fuse or braker for dedicated lines? bishopwill: fact is, worldcup has been around here longer than you have. and, while he may not be quite as articulate as our newly-anointed shrink/confessor, he does have an attribute missing in your makeup: a desire to learn without the constrain... | |

| Breaking in JM Lab Mini Utopia's??? (1) a couple of hundred hours; (2) play barry white's cd, "the icon is love" on "repeat all" at the highest level your amps can maintain without clipping (i ain't kidding here); and, (3) yes, but not as great a one as might be achieved with mezzo ... | |
