Title: Jungle Music: A Forest Mighty Black - Fresh In My Mind
Description: The Cosmic Lounge presents Jungle Music: 'Fresh In My Mind' by A Forest Mighty Black.
"A Forest Mighty Black is one of the few outposts for jazzy downtempo in Germany. Fronted by producer Bernd Kunz, the outfit debuted with "Candyfloss" and "Fresh in My Mind," two of the first three singles appearing on Munich's respected Compost Records label (also the home of recordings by Fauna Flash, Funkstörung, Beanfield and Turntable Terranova). A Forest Mighty Black gained praise for their refreshing blend of Brazilian and fusion influences with trip-hop, and appeared on several compilations from the Acid Jazz label. First album Mellowdramatic was released in 1997, followed one year later by Mellowdramatic Remixed. A Forest Mighty Black have also provided remixes of their own for United Future Organization, another electronic act notably influenced by the music of Brazil."

Title: Jazzanova ft. Leon Ware & Dwel - Rockin' you Eternally (♫)
Description: A lot of soul and the unique Jazzanova signature sound make an effective mixture that will infect listeners "Of All The Things" from start to end of this gorgeous album. Joyful listening is guaranteed! It's an album bubbling over with brilliant ideas and lively music, predestined to make a major impact on the international market. It contains songs that touch you immediately and go directly into your veins. There are several tracks that are likely to make you press the repeat button of your CD player. The six DJs/producers from Berlin show you where the journey can go.
While earlier productions were often conceived to leave their mark on global dance floors, Jazzanova convinces on their sophomore album with their songwriting and their ability to make their tunes, in spite of all their complexity, sound catchy and natural. It's pure pleasure to hear how the opulent harmonies provided by silky strings and vocals are coupling with fat beats and basslines. They managed to create songs that grap you inside and make your feet move at the same time.
Actually, it's almost impossible not to fall for this music. Whether you're a fan of this sound or not, Jazzanova proves to be a team of music producers with enormous talent. Their skills lie in creating soundworlds, sophisticated arrangements and unstoppable grooves that brings pleasure to the listeners ears. The internationally acclaimed singers and musicians who participated in these recordings did their best to make this album a musical gem.
Leon Ware, the honeyd voice of the groovy 70s and producer of the Marvin Gaye album I Want You, showed up for a duet with Dwele (who showed his brilliance in collaborations with Common and Kayne West). Newcomer Paul Randolph, who like the two aforementioned artists, comes from Detroit, is already considered a new rising star in the soul firmament. The same goes for his London colleague Ben Westbeech, who recently released his debut solo album on Gilles Peterson's label Brownswood. Another highlight is delivered by Minneapolis' José James, whose vocals remind one of the jazzy styles of Terry Callier, Mark Murphy, and Gil Scott-Heron. In two brand new album tracks with MC Phonte (from the leftfield hip-hop band Little Brother from North Carolina) Jazzanova keeps true to their hip-hop roots.
Since the very beginning of their careers, they've been protégés of international music biz greats with requests from all parts of the world. Shortly after Gilles Peterson asked them to do a remix for the United Future Organization, the Jazzanova beats flooded dance floors worldwide. Their remixes (for Common, MAW, Lenny Kravitz, Calexico, NuSpirit Helsinki, Fat Freddys Drop, Ian Pooley, Incognito, Ursula Rucker, 4Hero, Roy Ayers, and Azymuth) and their varied productions for the revue "Belle et Fou" and their own label, Sonar Kollektiv (f.e. Thief's "Secret Love") set new standards and have won them enormous fan bases in the UK, Japan, and the US. It would not be exaggerated to say that they already made it 80 times around the world if you only consider their curricula as DJs at big events and famous clubs in recent years. In a highly musical way, these DJs and producers blend folk, rock, indie, and 80s' soul music in different formats (in their DJ sets, in remixes and radio shows, on mix albums and compilations) and present this mixture in their unmistakable Jazzanova style.
The new album was almost completely recorded live in the studio which shows the band's development. The former "masters of samples" created nearly their entire soundworld live, writing songs that could prove to be timeless and reverberate the fun they had while recording them. Jazzanova has been busy in the years since the release of their debut album In Between, and the wait for their second album was worth it. Jazzanova has found a real identity and created a sound world that will thrill their loyal fans and gain them many new admirers.

Title: LeBron James 4 sick plays from 2005, 2006
Description: lebron james fastbreak showtime dunk vs the lakers assisted by eric snow, crazy statue of liberty dunk vs the pistons @ the palace, gamewinning layup game 3 vs the wizards 2006 playoffs, lebron james gives tim duncan a nice present a crazy facial what a great way 2 start a new season
King James, The Chosen One, LBJ
LeBron Raymone James (born December 30, 1984) is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Commonly nicknamed "King James" and "The Chosen One", the Akron, Ohio-born James was highly promoted in the national media as a future NBA star while still in high school, and was named Ohio's "Mr. Basketball" three times. At the age of 18, he was selected with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft by the Cavaliers and signed an unprecedented US$90 million shoe contract with Nike before his NBA debut. He has since set numerous youngest player records. In his first season, he received the NBA Rookie of the Year Award and in the following three seasons received All-NBA and All-Star honors. He led the Cavaliers to back-to-back playoff appearances in 2006 and 2007; the latter year the team advanced to the Conference Finals for the first time since 1992 and the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history.
James is listed as a small forward, but can also play point guard and shooting guard. This versatility has led to his classification as a "point forward". James was a member of the United States men's national basketball team that won the bronze medal in the 2004 Olympics in Athens and he finished second in the league Most Valuable Player balloting in 2006.
James has established himself as a legitimate triple-double threat and has averaged 26.7 points, 6.4 assists and 6.7 rebounds per game for his career. As of the 2007--08 season, he has recorded 16 triple-doubles in his career, with 14 in the regular season and 2 in the postseason. On offense, James utilizes his quickness, size, and strength to get past defenders. When penetrating to the basket James exhibits exceptional body control, adjusting his shot in mid-air according to the defense, allowing him to absorb contact and finish at the basket. In the 2005--06 season, he led the league in completed traditional three point plays. He is a solid rebounder who regularly ranks among the league leaders in rebounds for the small forward position. His overall skill sets and on-court play has led to many comparisons to NBA legends Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan.
Although James exhibits exceptional offensive ability, he has yet to be featured on the NBA All-Defensive Team and has struggled with his free throw shooting — he averaged a subpar .698 free throw accuracy in the 2006-07 season.
Despite being compared to players such as Michael Jordan, Oscar Robertson, and Magic Johnson,LeBron James compared himself to a young Penny Hardaway. He stated, "Penny sees the whole floor and can score," LeBron James said. "He's still one of my favorite players of all-time."
