This procrastinating thing has gone too far and I need to study now. But first... Since no one else has talked about, or even mentioned Bullfrog, let me tell you a little about them: they are great. If you've heard of Kid Koala and like his stuff, or if you're into a little groove and funk, check 'em out. Kid Koala is the master turntablist. They're just one of those bands I have a feeling will become huge. Blu Rum 13 is their MC and he's awwwesome - - even if you're not all that much into hip-hop. Bullfrog is jazz. Bullfrog is hip-hop. They're funk. Most of all they're pop. Go check out their live shows, you'll definitely have a good time. http://www.gobullfrog.com/bullfrog/ is the web site, it's got free downloadable goodies! Go! Hop on over and if you want more mp3 samples...I'll hook you up :) - -andy choo choo ______________________________________________________ Send your holiday cheer with http://greetings.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2001 13:33:34 -0800 (PST) From: dana wagner Subject: good music this year after laboring long and hard thinking about the good music that hit me this year, i've come up with the following categories.
