I'm definitley groovin' to it. Nothing has surpassed the first release
though. The new one has a very cool appearance of Scratch (beatbox super
dj of the Roots fame)... Also, the CD rom has a "Cookin' with G" video
extravaganza on it. I guess i just got a kick out of seeing a lovely
Saturday afternoon at the Italian Market in south philly because i do
the same thing occasionally. But the video footage is kind of silly, yet
plenty of useful cooking tips and ideas for stuff to make. Not just a CD
of interviews, ads for junk,videos blah blah. Nice little twist to "Yea,
it's that easy"

On the decks now:

The Mighty Bop
Runaways
Joyce (i think it's Joyce... sweet sweet latin female vocal stuff)
Anything on Irma Molto Jazz!
Booker T. and the MG's- Hip Hug Her

peace all,
Argo
