The Soft Machine

Nothing is better than cruising down the highway with
Volumes 1-3 (perhaps some later ones) of the Soft Machine.
Just try it. The albums flow and suck you in and you'll be
at your destination before you know it. And Robery Wyatt is
a MAD drummer, who needs computers when you can pound out
beats like that with the parts God gave ya? And there are no
guitars in case you're opposed to the Devil's Instrument. If
it hasn't already happened, some drill and bassers should
sample some of those beats and breaks.

Good dear good! Make sure you have 40 minutes to kill per
album cuz you have to listen to it all the way through, or
you suck.

you know what album I really like for driving? A Hundred
Days Off by Underworld... it has great beats, and is really
dancey so it's good in that sense, but yet at the same time
it's kind of laid back and smooth, and real nice for
cruising in the evening...

Hockey is in my blood and I'm in the best mood right now cuz
all three of my teams won last night, soooo freakin'
ecstatic. There's nothing you girls can do to pry us away
from watching it, so be a dear and don't complain to him. I
know it's tough. We are big stupid apes with our big stupid
sports.

OK you losers, Neeta approves, anyone else? Download at
least volumes 1 and 2 if you're not down with the Soft
Machine, yo.

it's kinda too much since the world championships are here
closeby, hockey is coming out of every possible media and
helsinki is filled with hockey hooligans.. i did see a
canada match, against switzerland (from the telly) but i
can't say i'd really get it. anyway i hope the finns don't
win, it would mean a riot.
