  • RAJ said: Never heard of that Marley record until I read this thread....   Good stuff!    Bill Laswell continuing to get props in the new-world Strut. Up is down, black is white, Marley in Dub getting dap; I don't pretend to understand. …
  • ^^^^^ For sure. IMHO the Drake verses here of a slightly lower caliber than what we've seen for instance on "Back to Back" or "Hotline Bling," or even If You're Reading This..., all of which admittedly is some hard acts to follow.
  • I'm getting an unauthorized error message. Could it be an issue with cookies that I'm not allowed to sip the juice?
  • Bridgeport and Pilsen both are right by Chinatown and great for the hip eats associated with rapidly gentrifying areas! That said, Chinatown is pretty decent, too, if you like Chinese food. I have a family member who used to work at the China…
  • Evidence on the since-destroyed Brady cellphone suggested that perhaps Tom was Aaron Hernandez's weed man and Bubblicious handler? Could that be true?
  • At the risk of kicking a hornet's nest: I let my daughter sleep in our bed. Of course there are drawbacks, but she's adorable, and I would bet we oftentimes get at least an hour extra of sleep out of her - she picks up on our circadian #rhythms, an…

  • Completely sober sleep deprivation actually is kind of cute, compared to even a mild hangover. Like oh, that's all you coming with, brain? Usually get at least seven hours of sleep, as I'm also as they say 'with child,' but can function (with coffee…

  • ^^^^^^ The two are not mutually exclusive. You can present a poppier angle of your own sound, without totally compromising your artistic vision. Just like Diplo!

  • J.T. Breakdown (J.T. Walsh, rest in peace!)
  • Has to be the coldest-ever dis video that utilizes the term "grace period," no? Definitely siding with Ghost here, although as I mentioned earlier in the thread, his latest album that I checked out from the library was none too good! …
  • ^^^^^^^ True. It's like we were all trying to figure out if the Yellow King was running the Tuttle Schools and, vis a vis that entire Louisiana parish, as some type of training camp for sex-crime victims, when in reality it was just the creepy lawnm…
  • Yeah, no way he gone, girl - otherwise he'd be biggest first-act knockoff since, who, Drew Barrymore in Scream? I actually didn't even see that scene, yet, after falling asleep maybe 30 minutes in.
  • If that is indeed the case, I cannot wait for Nic Pizzolatto's Lady in the Water!
  • I liked it but, again, my expectations were not in the stratosphere. Pizzolatto, IMHO, is somehow toeing the line between being way too pretentious and laying down the camp, like it's too serious but also a big joke. That's what I'm telling myself, …
  • Borderline boring but decent, bass-y beats, nice voice - nothing more. Really it's just modernized trip-hop/R&B. I understand that there's hype but it doesn't have to be something bigger than some chill bedroom music. I dig her sound and style.
  • I guess I would tend to agree ^^^^ Big takeaway was the episode Sansa was bent over the table on her wedding day. The masses really criticized the show creators heavily but what was surprising was how hard those two dudes pushed back. It all…
  • parallax said:prof_rockwell said:parallax said:Kevin Spacey shilling for E*trade?! So sad. Is he broke? Seen House of Cards lately? America has a weird relationship with celebrities doing advertisements, where it's fair…
  • I went pretty deep, too. But more than that, there was a thread, perhaps as part of some sort of celebration (?), with many of those records being shared publicly, prior to any pay-walled special place. That democratized rare-record share fest felt …
  • The Netflix of records... How about the Amazon Prime of records, where you purchase an album you want and it arrives in a few days after you've already paid an annual rate for speedy shipping? Oh, wait... But, really, think you guys ar…
  • Also, yeah I am a total dilettante on classical, romantic, what have you. Have maybe 30 or so CDs and albums that I've really become familiar with enough to know what I like. Came upon this a few weeks back, and the #swag of the conductor wi…
  • Cool! Looking forward to checking out the site. Been listening strictly to classical (and opera - and Future's latest mixtapes) for past several months. I shop for vinyl as well as CD, and check out a lot of stuff from the library. Been listening to…
  • Also, always been a big Uncle Buck guy ;)
  • Many thanks! I was just about to post something mean to the h8trs in the NBA thread, until I saw this! Getting to watch my Bulls and Blackhawks both in May has been the gift that keeps on giving. And to keep it economics-related, Colombia has just n…
  • ketan said:I can't listen to audio ATM, but right away I have questions about what IS ghetto house. Is Ghetto Tech included (e.g., Assault, Godfather)? What about Baltimore Club ish (e.g., "You keep on fuckin around, I'm gon go get my guuuuuuun")?…

  • This may come as a surprise, but there's also a whole new generation of moviegoers who may very well experience Star Wars for the first time in the theater, and this film doesn't necessary have to appeal to the "blind fans" still hoping to rekindle …
