Sounds Like
driving 20 miles an hour in a 1991 Mazda 626 in the carpool lane and somehow passing every car in sight. sipping seltzer water for breakfast at Denny's and skating out on the bill but leaving a crisp $100 in the waitress' pocket. driving through Times Square during rush hour to get to that special bodega uptown that sells the 25 cent doritos. setting your alarm for 6:00 am for no reason. flying to paris for chinese food. flying to china for french fries. walking in the club with some fake designer glasses on with the plastic elvis wig and a tony montana t-shirt on and ordering an "orange and cranberry with lite ice" Holler at your bizzle and TELL ME WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE. I MADE IT! YOU DON'T ASK A FOX HOW HIS FOX COAT FEELS DO YOU?

Thousands of A & R Reps are browsing myspace daily to find new talent to sign. Increased plays and views increase your chances of getting these industry reps to listen to your songs. They simply don't have the time or energy to view bands who don't have numbers to back them up. They want to sign bands who are already independently successful and already have a lot of experience in the music industry.
Need some help with the NW connection...do you know a barber in Seattle that can recreate this on my man Laray's head:
We are shooting a video for our song High Top Fade on Monday and Tuesday in Seattle and need a good barber for the shot. Check the song...he's one of my students at the school I work at:
SADYE'S EARRING ARE DEAD this friday. 11.20.09 celebrate the coming of SLV and put to rest what was SADYE'S EARRINGS. in the spirit of moving forward. love lavishly & extravagantly. SLV
Maybe it's a stretch, but I like how there's Aluja in Nigeria and Brazil, Aluya in Cuba...and Miles Davis coming with Ah Lue Cha. Maferefun Chango! Etala mo juba.
Hi Kassa, all the grooves, beats and playing are marvellous here, PATIENT is a masterpiece, thank you very much for sharing your genius with us, blessings and Peace, Neil
