safe to say that jtq and james taylor are distinct musical entities,
despite the unfortunate similarity in names. (btw, anyone know the story
behind how jtq picked their name?).

on the nuyorican tip, i just want to quickly mention the _it's allright_
single, which i don't remember anyone posting about. there are 5 or so
(if memory serves right) mixes of the song, including a fly-ass mix by
roni size! incredible beat and scrumptuous base that leaves you hungering
for more. for those who haven't heard it i'd would definately recommend
giving it a listen!

peace,

andrei
