  • Thanks for everything, Raj. All good things must come to an end. This place has a special place in my heart.
  • I usually hit the Disk Unions the most, specifically the Shimokitazawa, Shibuya and Shinjuku branches. You can also get lucky in the ones that are a little less visited, like Kichijoji, Ikebukuro or Kita-Urawa but they sometimes are not worth the tr…
  • From my neck of the woods:
  • Yemsky said: Love the one figurative line in the whole song, "nut into the sunrise". 450 bonus points for the dancing also.
  • Nikka's Taketsuru is my jam, or used to before it became impossible to get (geographical reasons including). I heard they changed the formula but this was always the go-to solid Japanese whiskey that never disappointed. Repping something local, the…
  • I had a DJ gig a few weeks ago at the Japanese ambassador's residence for the Iceland-Japan Society so I dug out my city pop jamz which I hadn't listened to in a while. A lot of the city pop records are super hit-and-miss but I found that this ("Mis…
  • This album ("Tonk of the Lawn") was a huge cult classic in Iceland in the early 2000s. A (mostly) visual artist made it, put it it out on CD and from it this was a minor radio hit. I listened to it a lot back then but slowly forgot about it. He wen…
  • You'd been building up the suspense for so long. Dash to the counter as soon as you enter, ask to use the bathroom, and then spend ages not buying anything.
  • RAJ said: RIP https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/olivette-mo/jason-koenig-10379451 Bought from him quite a few times, always solid. Also, the funkyou auctions hipped me to quite a few records I wouldn't have known, just from br…
  • Related but not related, this is excellent:
  • My main method up until this point was always check Discogs, and if there was no comment on sound, hold on buying until there was a verdict. I even thought you could maybe A/B record store clips with OG rips on YouTube but there are several issues t…
  • Welcome back! I used to (and still) lurk more than anything but think fondly of the old Soulstrut days sans social media. More focus on the raers and less doomscrolling across platforms while getting nothing done.
  • In Iceland, we had a relatively big first wave, tiny second wave and then a fairly pre-Covid-esque summer. This third wave from the fall onwards has been the hardest to combat, but luckily after a few months we're at the stage where only a few peopl…
  • Everyone needs to see this one now. It's insane, part (100%) documentary, part spy thriller. And it's all real. Shot over a period of 10+ years. Highest recommendation.
  • RAJ said: Sooo good.  Only track I recognize is Freaky Jeans....  What's the last track?  Sooo sexy.      The last one is Josie James "Win Your Love". Such a great, great slow jam.
  • RAJ said: I started getting in the habit of viewing the newest additions of wants in the marketplace about 10-20x per day.  Ahh, under Items I Want on the Marketplace, Latest Additions! Never used that before, that's neat.
  • I'm always kind of disheartened when I go on Discogs as prices just seem to go up and up. Like no deals are to be made, but I guess you have to check it every day to grab the dealz. My big gripe is the seller that randomly prices some of their reco…
  • Watched Tenet and loved and hated it. Too damn complex for a simple night out to the movies. But, the night after that I watched Bill & Ted: Face The Music and it was pretty awesome. Both films great in their own right (former in production qual…
  • New Sault has been rolling for the past few days. https://saultglobal.bandcamp.com/track/wildfires Also, the new Khruangbin. Summer soundtrack 2020.
  • This was amazing. On Netflix (most regions). Got watching Neverending Story for the first time as a child vibes.
  • RAJ said: Freaking the fuck out because I'm slated to vacation in Japan in early April.  This is a vacation 20 years in the making.  So unless people are dropping like flies I'm still going.  Good news is less crowds and the hotel discounts a…
  • johnblack said: i'M GOING TO BRING BACK THE DOG BARK SAMPLES! Took that concept to it's logical conclusion a few years ago (skip to 2:20 for the business):
  • Finally dug into both albums and I'm really digging "5" but not so much the follow-up "7", anyone else feel this way? Second album sounds like cuts that were dropped from the first, a few decent jams but the vibe and spark of the first one isn't the…

  • My latest one.
  • I miss digging. Just went to a couple of 2nd hand shops around here (Reykjavik, Iceland) and the cheap bins have become 500 krona ($4) bins with non-stop garbage.
  • Flipped through for the first time earlier to find music to sunbathe to and it worked like a charm. Reviews are just the right length and on point. Nice work, Raj!
  • This has so many layers, oh boy. Doesn't matter really if the songs are good?
  • What a great thread. Things have changed..
