Testing...

Shaq, injured? C'mon, it's a bruise. They rested him for the Pistons. Rip looked better last night. We're in for a great series! B-)

Dang Al, tell us how you REALLY feel.

I'm interested to see how these teams match up. The Pistons are stronger at more positions, but the Heat have a well-rested Shaq and Flash is friggin' unstoppable. It will be fun to watch, I've gotta give a slight edge to the defending champs who have the battle-tested crew.

In addition to the ones JSngry listed, I really dig The Second Crusade.

No dice. Here's the error message, even if I make the picture smaller than a thimble: "THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND The total filespace required to upload all the attached files is greater than your per post or global limit. Please reduce the number of attachments or the size of the attachments."

What's up with attaching pics? Won't work for me.

What's the new file size limit? I can't seem to attach anything.

We'll see.

Catesta is at the back room having problems that no one else is having.

I was very enthusiastic about this one at first--but I agree with Brandon that "Hard Times" is by far the best track, while the rest is so-so.

I like moments of Bad Benson but agree the earlier stuff is better. BB could rightly be considered the "beginning of the end" for those intolerant of pop-oriented material.

The Pistons better hope Rip heals up for the series with the Heat. They'll need his scoring to offset Flash.

I love De La, but that lyric always irked me. I love this part in Dorough's original, "a man and a woman had a little baby, they had threeeeeeee in the family, and that's the magic number."

Up for edits...

I love Jack McDuff's Moon Rappin', and from the descriptions here this sounds to be in the same vein. Is this Roach album similar?

Beldar consumes mass quantities.

That "Three Is The Magic Number" song is really weird. I mean, what's so magical? Cracks me up every time he says "yeah, 30." Oddly enough, the lyrics from the De La Soul song that sampled it didn't make sense either.

"My son snowboards better than your honor student"

Marchin' On is a personal favorite, I have the vinyl reissue. "Angel Man" is a nice funk jazz tune on which Jimmy Heath plays flute. I have it as part of a compilation.
