ZeneithAbsolutely agree. Bought one of her albums and thought it was ok, bought more and not only will she make you doze off but they all sound exactly the same, no flavor whatsoever. Funny thing is now you have all these other chicks trying to em... 
Speakers and glue......
GawdblessI am hoping to find something I don't have to mess with, still not sure if they even use glue inside the speakers these days which might be a problem. Rather than having speakers made or putting time (that I always seem to be short of) in... 
Speakers and glue......
DonjrI have plenty of recommendations. For music only - Sao Paulo. Great city, but that is all it is. If you want beaches, great scenery and music - Rio. Better still, a little place three hours outside Rio - Buzios. This has to be the most idylli...

Hey Bongo,Sorry, I forgot to get back to you re. Donovan's b.day bash at Yoshi's. I am guessing you are coming up to SF for that??I have to fly out to Spain tomorrow or it would have been great to catch you for a beer and a laugh. I will only be a...

DmobNot me mate - 5'3"? I could never date women 6 inches taller than myself. 
When will rap music be less mainstream?
Problem is, coming back from somewhere like that you can't help notice the disproportionate amount of women with faces that look like Oakland booty, at least out here in the sticks where I live right now. I think the movie "Deliverance" must have ...

Hey Bongofury and DarkmoebiusForgot to mention all the budget bling I brought you back from Brazil.Anyway, just before I headed to Rio airport I had to go by the jewelers to pick it all up. I had us all killer big pendants made up too - all genuin...
