  • funkmosphere is taking it to La Cita tonight. I'm heading down just after richard pryor's curfew (11 pm). hoping this will be fun. it will be nice to hear the boogie on that system!!
  • yeah no point in keeping that sealed. $10 - $30 joint. (that may be outdated) this song is about drugs. not lyrically.
  • yeah, i'm broke as hell from my trip, but i will be god damnned if i'm spending another new years in LA. R the ladies gettin in free at this show? we're gonna need something to counteract the hordes of record nerds rushing this party. i love …
  • yo hook. definitely too many to count others for one track and one fine ass cover cosing like a mf. this brasilian woman is sooooo hot. she does have one beautiful samba tune as well. not sure how many more dope tunes she sang on.
  • wow. this is terrible. he found out he had aids only very recently. how he made it through the 80s was a straight mystery to me (just thinking of all the infected dudes he slept with) let alone the 90s. almost made another 10. West End was easi…
  • ooooh. sorry to hear about this marco. 20 yr old girls are the best and the worst no? not as good in bed, but somehow the sex is better? confusing. to quote Dazed and Confused, "we get older, they stay the same age" - i wish it was as easy …
  • you referring to a specific mix? if so post up the link.
  • bass stabs are definitely same ones i used, same pattern with the exact same drum chops. bass stabs and drums are from 2 completely unrelated records. odds are 1 in a million that they happened to chop the drums identically, sample the same bass s…
  • i like my record better anyway! the ultimate form of flattery. DAMN where was this tune last summer? was i sleeping?
  • Btw, the og doesn't sound nowhere near as lo-fi as the reissue. that said, playing the og is still risky business in the club. kenny's versions are probably the best for anyone who is interested in playing those songs out. the OG has this super …
  • i heard about this wedding. any bootlegs? i actually caught (by total accident) a really funky wedding band couple months ago out near topenga canyon. they did "what you won't do for love" by bobby caldwell, tore that shit up! they also did…
  • every thurs disco & boogie at double dutch. maybe moving soon tho
  • a: why focus on the negative side of that shit? that comp series is loooong gone. b: why put somebody on blast on a board that his Frickin' friends write on? c: those comps are totally wicked, and to this day IMO nobody has really outdone them.…
  • My dude Sureshot's "sound boy burial status breaks" comp series While Sound Bwoy may be well selected, people might want to spend their money on comps that actually paid someone for the right to use their music... or not. Either way that bootleg i…
  • Don Ray 45 - Got To Have Loving b/w My Desire on Polydor- what is a fair price to ask for this? it would be a better gift. http://www1.gemm.com/item/RAY-c-DON/GOT--TO--HAVE--LOVING/GML884494793/
  • DONE. please anyone resend the PM's. i was kind of wondering why i had 200 messages and not received even random pms for a year.
  • of course i want some grails, but i'm most interested in the stuff people haven't comped or championed yet! going to listen to alot of brasilian 80's. do those armed gang 12's pop up down there? or the younger generationn pic sleeve? can't wai…
  • Yo heading down to Sao Paolo & Rio in two weeks! can't wait. looking to hook up with anyone who is interested in digging or knows good nightlife! NEVILLE C ? you have some hook ups in Rio? i know nothing about rio outside of the fact i'm…
  • man i miss red a. lotus wrapped sticky rice, corn n ham mayo bun and a hk tea for like $3. or the bun nazi on powell and broadway. even cheaper. right now i like chabelita's burritos desayunos. $4. spaceghost hipped me to the spot on account of the…
  • nobody mentioned the Boscoe reissue? NUMERO & ASTERISK just dropped this on wax & disc. sadly no cassette release though. i was really looking forward to that! ___ am i really late on this one? figured soulstrut would be shut down for a…

  • whlie we're talking rape, it is such a good movie.... although it does involve quite a bit of rape. i like to think it is strong symbolism here: check go go 2nd time virgin. sick early 70's japanese youth angst plot. killer soundtrack, totally p…
  • don't ever watch Cannibal Holocaust. it is pretty much guaranteed to FUCK YOU UP FOR LYFE. it's been at least 5 years since i've skimmed through that DVD..... however, if you like rape scenes involving bloody fist fucking w/spiky objects, then…

  • Thank You DJ Zest. i will get to crackin on that now.
  • you still haven't emailed me. funkmosphere was outta control!!! a good way to get your mind off of ex girlfriends. at the very least funkmo was a headbangers ball of boogie jams. hope your girl didn't steal that aura lp.
  • damn j-bacca, sounds like you're not having the best luck with women. what a weird dilemma having to shop at a record store where your thieving ex girlfriend works. must say you are probably the ONLY person in the country (world?) who has this pr…
