who are all these new names posting these days??... I'm not one to talk, I guess - I'm pretty new myself... and I raerly post.
Is it time for a "Introduce Yo self" thread???...
I'm looking at you: HowMuch, Blast Kid, zizag, moonhead, Mangoman... (I still don't know who you are).
I'll start it off:
Real-World name: Anthony Pearson the 5th Loc: Venice Beach Age: With my Mustache 33 without just bald head 29 In the game Years Collection: No collection just Sales
(edit): Occupation: Teacher, Photgrapher, Father to be, and record dealer Currently listening to: Honey Tree, and Loading Zone at the same time....
Now my secret is out!
WHOLLEY :MINDMELTBLOODSHITFUCK:... are you seriously AP?... damn i had no idea.
I'm shocked, and at the same time empowered with the knowledge...
I actually had to dig up my old password just for the occasion.
Maybe NOT, But AP is fo sho a cool dude in my book! He needs to come back with the crazy rap battle again....
Location ; Montreal, Canada. Age: 31. Years making records? many.
Part Time Hustles : Instrumental Hiphop Hustle, LP mastering, wannabe filmmaker and makeshift anything visual, neighborhood artstar, coffee and weed constructive critic.
Like: rare records with tough ass drums, tattoos, tube microphones, vintage instruments, rusto silvers, american freight trains and literature, film (french new wave, japanese gangster flicks, 80's coke movies esp. Jim Jarmush) Design Books and original Bauhaus furniture (no home).
Dislike : exploitive throwback culture aligned with bougie fasion bullshit (eg. new dogtown flick, electroclash, most modern rock groups that have a synth).
Records : couple hundred, but I'm back in records mode, so its growing once again.
Sold The Collection: couple of times.
Current Listen: Exclusively Sun Ra - Sleeping Beauty and Lanquidity.

I know a few doods on here personally, am easy to trade with and like good music on any format, but prefer wax. Greeto.
It's interesting to see that a lot of you guys are a good 5 or so years older than I thought you were.
The WWW has a way of making everyone sound like a teen It's like being stuck in adolescent quicksand. Now I think I'll put on "If I Were Only A Child Again" by Curtis Mayfield (happy b-day).

Favourite record of the minute.... Ernestine Anderson "Keep An Eye On Love"
Buying vinyl for 8+ years now. Have yet to become "serious". Don't think I ever will really.

I was a garbage dude but am now inbetween jobs. Had to stop due to my left ankle. Damn you. I make some beats from time to time and I drink.
Currently listening to Helmut Zacharias Orchestra - Ferry Boat Serenade, which is a lovely little easy listening/moody jam. Perfect for hazy summer mornings. Next up is Os Mutantes - O Rel??gio.
I dig just about any good music. It just has to be good.
I like smart and beautiful women. I also like straight-forward funny dudes.
I don't have a favourite book yet. I do have a favourite "band" though, and their name is Autechre. They are fucking good musicians.

In these ways you help yourself.
Help yourself, and you help the world.
