Breakonomics Volumes 001-005

***Note: If you grabbed the big Christmas gift on the blog already then you have this!!!!***

Reagan had Reaganomics and TSU has Breakonomics. Clearly Breakonomics stands to be far more influential to the world than it's failed quasi-namesake. Breakonomics builds and expands from the ground up exploring and gathering information in the funk genre and dispensing it in a convenient audible format. Unlike Reaganomics, Breakonomics will succeed in empowering the masses with a greater power and ability to decipher the level of quality of incoming audio sources that lay the claim "funk". Breakonomics will create a more discerning public listenership. Breakonomics absolves itself of any instances of the destruction of lousy music whether it occur in a private home or at a public event. Breakonomics advises victims of smashed vinyl, scratched CDs and broken-in-two instruments to carefully review the Breakonomics series so they can see the folly of their ways. Once you have listened thoroughly to Breakonomics then you can say with confidence, "I understand funk music!" However, do not leave yourself unguarded against lousy music. Always bring a small bat or stick so you are quickly able to jump up and in one swing, torpedo an ill-fated stereo system playing below average music out someone's living room window thus restoring nature's balance and helping to prevent Earth from spiraling off its orbit into the black hole of the Andromeda galaxy. Now, the funk is definitely ON!

If I search Breakonomics on mininova.net I'll find torrents with total siz of 840.37mb.
My question is will there be more of this stuff?

If not its still great work, what you do. Thanks

Yup, those torrents I put up long ago. Hit The Brakes has been up almost two years now. However, most people don't use torrents so I put them up on here now. You'll notice that Breakonomics 41-100 will be added to Mininova during this month. Whereas on here I probably will only get up to about Volume 25 or so. Hit The Brakes is done and all 9 parts are up on mininova and currently there are 4 parts of Breakonomics and interestingly someone, not me, made a best of Hit The Brakes as well. If you know how to use torrent, do that. It will be much faster.
