  • The Sway interview is a modern classic. So quotable. "And it ain't no Ralph though".
  • DJ Spooky truly is the definition of a poser. Hiding behind academic bullshit terminology (people who know what they're talking about can also express things clearly)and creating a ridiculous genre name like "Illbient" (isn't it the job of journalis…
  • Otis_Funkmeyer said:The material, inspired performances, raw aesthetic, and stripped-down arrangements are right up my alley. It doesn't get much better. Agreed. Can't believe people deny the awesomeness of EoU :nagl:
  • Okem said:Dude has some valid points, especially about the advancements in technology lowering the bar for who gets to be a DJ and all that, but some of the rest of it came across as the familiar grumblings of an older man in a young mans game. …
  • Grandfather said:Affleck is supposed to help write the script and give some creative direction. He has been doing a good job with his last few movies so I think the movie will be good. That's good to know. Man of Steel didn't do it for me…
  • Mjukis said:Cool idea, execution is kinda lacking though. I've downsized my collection a lot, and I actually kind of like the idea of deciding how much space you want it to take up, and then getting rid of the stuff you can't fit in there (or puttin…

  • I discovered Pavement later, and still to this day I haven't heard Slanted & Enchanted. Wowee Zowee was the first album I heard, but my favourite is Brighten the Corners. I love the combination of Pavements weird/lofi touches and the clean produ…
  • Gibbo said:Turns out there's a follow up to 2003's 'Jeux De Ficelles' coming out in July. I loved the debut and am looking forward to this. Any thoughts? https://numerogroup.wordpress.com/tag/express-rising/ Really hype, in a mellow way…
  • batmon said:Okem said:Yer, I don't think it's some contrived publicity thing, he is just that crazy. Yeah, he's just that crazy near the June 18th release date. Did the NYTimes call him or did his people call the Times to discu…
  • Fred_Garvin said:Kanye West said:I got the answers. I understand culture. I am the nucleus. Now if only someone would get him and Charlie Sheen into the same room, and hit the Record button. That would be a true milestone in entertainment.
  • I love that Kanyes vision of his place in history is something like this: Henry Ford Walt Disney Steve Jobs Kanye West A friend saw him do an impromptu show at some art thing in London the other day. Said it was pretty painful…
  • Sweet_Premium said:Mjukis said: I was at one of the nights of small soul weekender this past saturday, they're playing disco, crossover, some latin soul and so on. I don't think that many soul collectors are strictly about the classic amphetamine…
  • This classic Keb Darge interview (posted on here before) puts the scene into perspective I think. In some ways, it was punk before punk. And Keb n them were basically breaking at the start of breaking as well, unbeknownst to them. Keb Darge inter…
  • SP 1200 said:Has anyone see them play live recently? I'm picking up a bunch of tickets for me and a few friends who will be treating it as a quasi religious experience I'm sure. Saw them not so recently but maybe 4 years ago, or something like th…
  • HOLLAFAME said:Beauty. Nothing bad can be said about this record...other than maybe sometimes I wish it was longer! One of the life-changing albums the Strut put me on to. Cosign!
  • I can only echo the praise for this great thread. I did some spring cleaning the other day - got rid of records in order to get more records. One of the records I got rid of was the 2 LP repress of Trees On the shore, an album I really love but I've…
  • "Neighbour Bertil St??hfr????s". That's pretty funny - his last name means "hard-on" in Swedish. Not spelled like that though.
  • I've been thinking about this too. I've got a steady job and an apartement now that I've finished school, but I have this desire to just leave it all for a while. Maybe not for a year or so, I'd probably have to put myself on a tight budget to save …
  • Mjukis said:I want Relatively Clean Rivers and Brazda Brothers on vinyl. I understand the latter was done by Void, but can't find any more info on it? If so, it must have been extremely limited... So this thread popped up again. A rather-weak soun…
  • The opposite, the contest and the marine biologist are probably the GOATS. But there's a lot of episodes I love... I really like the Kenny Rogers episode. I love the Lloyd Braun episodes too, The Gum is really funny. "It's a perfectly SANE food to e…
  • Okem said:Not exactly mp3 rares, but in the realms of digital rares. There's also the relatively new phenomenon of dance music producers making their bank by touring as djs. So they now deliberately don't release tracks to give themselves something …
  • I also think it's kind of crazy that a lot of great rap songs only exist as mp3s off mixtapes with DJ shouts on top, false starts etc... The afterworld will judge us harshly for this. Especially if the song will never see release because of samples …
  • volumen said:Does the European version of NERD In Search Of count? I haven't looked too hard but haven't found it when I did look. The CD is cheap and easy to find though. BTW, if there ever was something that epitomized "if it ain't broke, don't …
  • LokoOne said:I used to buy Rap Sheet just for the WOB column... I'm still wondering what that record with a train and break the Diamond D played Phill over the phone is.... From the description of how the music sounded, I've alw…
  • I'd love to see more Phill in writing. A book would be great. I read WOB religiously after I discovered Soulman through his articles in Big Daddy. Without that Diamond interview, I wouldn't own the Sandy Nelson LP with "Mystery Boogaloo" on it …
  • The best thing about Itunes 11 is that it gave me a push to make the switch to Spotify as my playlist/listening app. So now I don't even try to keep my Itunes music organized. I like being able to sync my music to my iphone over wifi. Certain issues…

  • From what I've heard this sounds cool but not quite on the level of the mixtape + Goldie which feels like an old song by now. Skrillex and Drake collabos are unfortunate but that's what you get for living in 2012.
  • This thread made me play this album for the first time in a while, so many memorable lines. "I'm gonna live to be a senior citizen Why? Because my shit is in." :goat: :off_the_wall:
  • "I wore out my shoes faster than TJ Hooker, chasing after her". One of my all time most listened-to albums. That's word to Big Bird... and I'm out like a trout.
