  • Amazing job Thes, you did your man proud. 
  • I'm very wary of PVC sleeves, I have a few records that were ruined by them. I get all my sleeves from Sleeve City, quality is great and they have sales all the time. 
  • I found this in a thrift store a few years ago, perfect size for 45's and made of steel so it will outlive me.
  • If you add a bootleg to your collection in Discogs you can see the value there. Obviously it won't get updated but at least you'll have an idea.
  • He had been doing the Grown Man Rap Show with DJ Toast weekly for the last couple of years, but a few months ago he stopped appearing. Around the same time Phil Most posted on IG that he had heard that Paul was back to his old tricks again and that …
  • What is there to say? The greatest singer of our lifetime. RIP to the Queen.

  • If you listen to the podcast The Cipher, they did a good episode with Barman a few weeks ago. I had no idea just how involved his rhyme schemes and whole creative process were. I can't say that knowing has made me enjoy the music more, but it's defi…
  • I met Stef via Matt Africa and DJ Eleven back in the late 90's, can't believe two such awesome people are gone now. RIP Stef.
  • Guitarist John Abercrombie passed today after a long illness. He had a long and diverse career but around here he'll always be known for this. RIP John...
  • Close to 30 by Miles Davis on the shelf. Lots of James Brown too. 
  • The setup at 127 John is long gone, it's now a residential building called 200 Water Street.  Blondie: Early NYHC band Kraut:
  • I  really can't handle too much more 2016. 
  • In hell the radio plays non-stop modern bro country, and the TV is tuned to the entire run of Full House.
  • I hope it's better than The Anonymous Nobody...

  • I've been here since the beginning and I still check in at least once a day. I don't post a lot but I never really didso that is no reflection on the current State o|Of The Strut. I made it habit to think before I posted (lest I be roasted) back in …
  • With valuable records I usually replace the paper sleeve with a nice Mobile Fidelity sleeve but if the original sleeve has lyrics, pictures, etc on it I'll keep the sleeve in the cover just for completeness sake. Sometimes the record won't fit in th…
  • I'd go with 81 or 82. Not much for the beat diggers but for the other music I love that is a real sweet spot.

  • RIP Sir Mack Rice, most of the world knows him for "Mustang Sally" but around these parts he will forever be known for:  [youtube]
  • Louis CK did a great podcast with Mark Maron talking about his goals and motivation for "Horace & Pete" which convinced me that he really does have a vision that just happens to be as incredibly dark as it can be funny. It also let me know that …
  • I was just helping clean out an older relative's garage and in among the pile of Kingston Trio and Herb Alpert LP's was a super clean original copy of this, which is an amazing record. Raw stuff. The only problem is it wash;t in the correct jacket, …
  • Duderonomy said: It was one of the best shot battles I've ever watched, movie or tv series, and had me by turns shouting with frustration at John for falling into the trap and breathless with claustrophobia as he was smothered by bodies. Wha…
  • Not a Soulstrut kind of record, but I got this for 99 cents in a store in Albuquerque NM years ago. First release on Revelation Records, a big deal to the hardcore kids:
  • Apparently Bernie Worrell's family has put word out that he doesn't have very long. Cancer is the fucking worst. 
  • Double Decker is incredible. Follow them on Instagram and be infuriated at the fact that they don't do mail order. I secretly want my Father's Day present to be 2 hours at DD but I don't think wifey and the kids will go for it. PS: Good Records is…
  • DOR said: I'm trying to remember the podcast. But someone did one with Trujiillo and Flea a bit ago on this doc and it was pretty interesting. It was Marc Maron last fall, it's available on youtube.

  • Although now that I think about it, that is exactly what some very disconnected people were saying about the record when it came out, isn't it? If you've never heard anything like it I guess it's hard to appreciate it, now or then. That review stil…
  • I heard Michael Rappaport talking about this review on his podcast but I thought to myself it can't be that bad. And yet it's worse. "I cannot get out of my head just how not rap this album sounds" is one hell of a statement about 3 Feet High.
  • I have to think a QB would be the choice. Payton's own career proves that a great RB can't cary a team without support. A great QB can do a lot even without great players. As much as it pains me to say it, look at what Tom Brady has done without eve…
