Tuesday 12-inch Flashback: ‘The Smurf’

In 1982, drum machines started turning up in black music... and soon they took over. A revoltin’ development, in retrospect.

Now it's all about auto-tune.

Anyway, I think I remember this; but there's no way I would know the name of it.

The Health Care In The USA will NOT be like that of the UK or other... This is one that will get papers slipped inside for agreements the American People would not be aware of (as usual) and would not agree with. By The Way.. I see that the SPLC web site has so much on the whitey groups that are so bad but where are the activities of the blackie groups that are so bad? Like say Farrahkans Building an Army to harm Whites and or How Muslim Extremisit who are black anti americans are working to pull American apart at the seams. Does anything sound unreasobale to you lately? Maybe it's Black Liberation Ideology and hey heard what the NEW BLK Panthers are saying these days? CHILLING, KNOW YOUR EMEMIES AND OR WHO YOU ARE SUPPORTING
