mood check :: name that tune ... been ripping the entire CD collection to MP3 and came across some unlabeled CD's with several tracks i can't identify completely (artist, track, and album / compilation) ... so i thought i'd put it out to the "groovyclectic nation" for assistance ... if you know any of the tracks below, send it in an email to akilione@hybridradio.us ... i'm looking for complete info (artist, track, and album / compilation) because the artists are fairly obvious with many of these ... and a couple are remixes where i just don't know the producer (so help me out on those as well) ... i might give away something like a hand painted akili/one logo tee to the people that name the most tracks by the time i release another podcast ... but if i get 15 people who name the most, i might have to work something else out ... that's a lot of tees, postage, and time painting
