Throwback

Coolio - Too Hot (CD Single)

1995

1. Too Hot

2. Exercise Yo Game ft E-40 Kam & 40 Thevz

Taken from my Nuggets "Cut-n-Paste" mixes made by me over the last couple of years I've simply titled this one The Lovers Mega Mix...

this has always been a fav of mine as well as those who I've shared it with in the past, if you didn't grab it before then here's your chance again, I did have to lower the bitrate to get it on MF but it still should sound just fine...no turntables were hurt during this experiment.

I'm baaaack!

well, we have finally moved , it's been one helluva journey, but I'm very eager to continue to help spread the great tunes.

I have yet to break open the many crates of vinyl , the room in wich I'm setting up needs to be painted still before I do so, so throw out some re-up request at me and I can get started.

I know that several new readers have found their way here since Ive been out and have found dead links...just let me know what it is IN THIS COMMENT BOX, and I will get'em goin back up...

To all my continued fans/readers MANY THX for standing by and being patient!

(Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back mp3)

LUCY

WE'LL BE BACK SOON!

here's some ear candy to throw on and grow on...

still on the 80's tip here's my second pick of the day taken from Roy Ayers - You Might Be Suprised (1985) (I do have on vinyl, and can rip in full in the near future)

Programmed For Love listen no pw

this being my first new pick of the day , I could find myself being all alone on this one , but I'm willing to take that chance.

by now I'm sure some of you should or may know this group if not, IMO it's a great place to start , this being my favorite track, see if you dig it too , very infectious...

Inside Out listen

and if that's not enuff

dig on the extended 12" version listen

no pw

(I do have several albums of theirs none of which have this song... they're most likely to be on the net already, but I'll look around and may post them later on...)

can't fox with my groove...

nothing special here to write home about , it was just an album I had close at hand that does have some good sounds on it , possibly some names you know and a few you don't (i'll leave that up to you)

also you may discover someone new to dig for or perhaps find a sample to use (beat headz)

1977

A&M promo sampler tracks include :

01 A&M Sampler - I Tried It All - Cockrell & Santos

02 A&M Sampler - Evil Eyes - Gato Barbieri

03 A&M Sampler - Since You Went Away-Learn To Love - Elkie Brooks

04 A&M Sampler - With Your Love I Come Alive-Stand Up - Atlantic Starr

05 A&M Sampler - Bad Man - White Mansions

06 A&M Sampler - Ain't We Funkin Now - The Brothers Johnson

07 A&M Sampler - You Need A Woman Tonight-Good Enough - Captain & Tennille

08 A&M Sampler - Late Again - Stealers Wheel

I did rip this entire record tho all was not worth keeping, whats left is what I approved of and i'm sure that most of you will too...

-

with all that said I'll take this time to fill y'all in real quick on whats been goin on,, still hecca busy as usual with my job, we did finally find a new HOME to move in, (townhomes suck ass)...anyways...

luckily we're still kinda packed as I never really got around to fully re-unpacking hence why I have not done many post lately, got about another month here and a few weeks before we get settled in at the new spot, then I will get back to business on the post, not sure how I can possibly keep up with a fraction of all the other dope blogs out there (see my blogroll) though, I will try...til then I may just be posting some daily picks,,, we'll see how it goes, just wanna let everyone know "I'm still here", "Still Alive"...

also dealing with the loss of my Uncle (just this week), and no word from my daughter yet, I text her earlier this week to say I missed her and love her, she did hit me back saying she loves me too and that was it...so......

no worries, I'm in the best spirit and attitude for all that goes on, not only in my world but the world around me....bless one and all and keep on groovin on...it's about the only thing left that CANNOT be touched!!!
