Random Ass Strutter Run-Ins

Me and dj_pi were at a Vietnamese/Thai joint and were talking about diggin' at a certain spot in Detroit, when some dude in the adjacent booth chimes about liking to buy records there. It was none other than Mr. Fine Wine from WFMU out in NY, having a meal with his Moms. That's bugged to me. Anyway, peace to him. My Chicken with Hanoi Sauce was delicious, by the way. I'm still trying to find out what the oil/sauce they have on the condiments plate is all about. It puts shivers through my spine. The shit smells like well-done vagina. What's the happs on it? It stank something fierce.

    It was explained to me that this is made of fermented fish.

    Yep, I just threw up in my mouth... just a lil' bit.

    Yeah, I'll have that removed from my table next time I dine at Thang Long. I need to take a picture of their sign for my 12".

    NYC was crazy this summer, I ran into:



    Delay (well, called the dude), Sharon Jones was playing in the park right behind my Aunt's building



    firmeRola, Rape_Donks, funksnotdead, and funk's girlfriend at a flea market



    Another strutter..not sure if it was Sun Fortune or um, yeah I was freakin' out of it that night. I think his name was Phil??? We went and got drunk at a bar and laughed at the records on the west side of Manhattan



    Indiana45s in Good Records NYC



    Lotusland in Good Records NYC



    Pgunn and Mr. FineWine at umm..I forget the name of the bar. Finewine was killin' it.



    And of course dakar and his bro zeke (who I had contacted though).







    NYC and the tri-state has the greatest concentration of Strutters in one area, I think.



    Damn Dallas just took out Houston.

    You seriously don't want to know how fish sauce is made. It's weird stuff, basically a saline solution of rotten fish bits. Get a big bottle of it at your asian market for 3 dollah. It's been around forever, the Romans called it "garum". (kurlansky talks a lot about it in his book "salt") It's called nam pla (sp?) in thailand. It stinks terribly but is essential for Vietnamese and Thai cooking. I think of it like the earthy, fishy component to the dish... and the lime and cilantro is the "bright", then you have the hot chilis. Very different from western cooking. Anyhow if you caught a whiff of fish sauce straight you would feel queasy, but if it weren't there you would notice. Like if you made soup with water instead of broth.

    it's an essential ingredient in any cook's pantry, it's just irreplacable. The abrasive smell dissipates once it's cooked, plus a little goes a long way as the flavour is very concentrated and pungent.

    long live fish sauce.

    dried shrimp paste is that NXET levelness, but you might yak if you think fish sauce is stanky.

    Sayin'.

    It was surreal. Me and a homey are trying out a new restaurant in Madison Heights, MI and a Strutter that lives in NY just so happens to be there eating. Small ass world...

    You wouldn't believe the number of strutters I run into here in beautiful Fredericton.

    I've had casual run-ins before... hell, sometimes you dudes are out on tour and I say what up, but I'm always in the know. There are many Michigan-based Strutters here that I know about, but have never met.
    It's different to have a cat be like... "ay, [I don't know you, but] I post on Soulstrut, hollahollaholla, let me holla atcha!"
    Our Strutter network always intercepts visits from others. I always hear about who has been in town and taken records from up under me.
