You know, at first, I wasn't crazy about "cowpilot" as my band's name.

I thought - "Cowpilot. I just don't know."

I now officially like Cowpilot just fine.

crazy penis arent drum & bass...they're deep house / lounge / dance kinda thing.

drum & bass is fast (>160bpm) & hectic, sped up funk drum breaks. like -
Totally addicted to bass - Puretone
Outta space - The Prodigy
that sesame street anthem D&B remix

is that what u mean?

 

[Rhythmbug]

actually "addicted to bass" was an aussie track, the girl who does the vocals is amiel = obligatory babe photo shot
