    >SAMBASSIM: So it's going to be on an EP that will e released in a few
    >weeks. Gee, I heard the same thing back in NOVEMBER 2000...

     I picked up a white promo of the Brazil EP yesterday from my local shop
    here in Colchester. With it was a note stating that the official release
    date is March the 19th on V recordings.
    BTW, I was very dissapointed with two of the tracks, not my cup of tea.
    However, sambassim and samba loco (I believe it's called) are well worth it.

    Okay, I just fingered through the February and March archives on things
    that caught my interest:

    2-STEP: If you wanna hear 2-step, go to www.heavyweightsound.com

    BREAKESTRA: When you see them for the first time, your jaw will drop to the
    floor and they'll probably have to send out the janitor to mop up your
    drool.

    When you see them the second time, you'll think they're cool and you're
    glad to see them again.

    The third time on, they get quite boring. Their rendition of Lyn Collins'
    "Think" ceases to be a spectacle. DJ Wolf's "singing" starts to become
    incredibly annoying. You begin to walk out of the club early, or just hang
    out outside with friends. I dunno, maybe I'm just cynical. But they ARE
    worth seeing live, at least just once.

    SLIDE FIVE: They broke up a couple years back. The Warrin brothers now live
    in New York. Jon Warrin does stuff with DJ Swingsett. Dave Warrin produces
    deep house with his wife as the vocalist.

    RONI SIZE WAS IN LOS ANGELES? Cactus Boy, you were there?

    GILLES PETERSON WAS IN LOS ANGELES? He spun "Sambassim"??!?

    KEVIN ENGLAND WAS IN LOS ANGELES?!?!

    Damn, I missed a lot... :)
