Some strutters that I have nothing but good stuff to say about: Jinx - for keeping me informed on my 45 purchases & being the first person to take time out to school me on the ways of SoulStrut. Lucero - For the night in Melbourne, the day in Auckland & hipping me to the best things to do in London/Paris thanks bro. Ilmod1 & Flomotion - For the London stuff, it was fun. Bapt - For that whirlwind day in Paris, so many shops, so little time, nice kebabs infront of that church though bro. Probably a couple of other peeps I am forgetting too. Thanks
Tripledouble & Secret Chimp & Supreme & JakeOne: I've been knowing those guy since before there was even an internet. Shout if I knew you before Crates.
Asprin: You all know the deal.
Herm: The best thing about Tucson.
Bellcity: What Dizzy said.
Vitamin: Took me digging in DC. Brought the knowledge for those wanting to understand the other side.
Spelunk is THAT DUDE. Homie is far beyond his young age in knowledge and maturity. Thanks so much for having me on your show... sorry I was coughing up such a storm during the interview
As far as Strutters I??ve met in the real world go:
Grope aka Honkeyfipple: Excellent dude, thanks for letting me hang in your house, giving me the crazy mixtapes and being an all round nice dude when I came through Germany (twice).
M_dejean: for being a super-extra chilled dude, with NICE records. Man, I wanted to get in touch with you after Roskilde this year, but people were like "let??s go". One day, I??ll be back though, CPH is too nice to stay away from.
Delay: I still play my autographed copy of Medium:rare from time to time, very nice. Hope you??re still not mad about the cockblocking incident
Birdman, NItekrawler, Noz, Secret Chimp, Holiday, Knewjack - the true DC heads who I run into at 3AM at the bar then again at 6AM digging. I dread it when they get to a crate before me but better them than some lurker.
Fatback - DJed his wedding. Don't let his online persona fool you, he's a pussy (cat).
Soulmarcossa - A true Southern gentleman even if he doesn't eat barbecue
Danno3000 - who proves that Canadians make great house guests
Johnny Paycheck - who proves that New Yorkers make great house guests
MoogMan - the nicest guy in Brazil. if you ever need to catch a bus in Sao Paulo ask this guy.
Countless other strutters who've come into my shop over the years (Delay, Coffin Joe, Sampo, Young Einstein, Aspirin, Vitamin, D-Mac, and more) - thanks. keep supporting your local record stores.
Heh-heh - nicely done. I know you don't know me from Adam, but you've taken some medium-rare beef in the last 48 hours or so on the chin without losing your composure or taking off the gloves. Maybe lay off the CAPS, homie? They come like your friend. . . Also, thanks for the "Massive Material" rips on the blog and all the other work-done-put-in.
That goes to the site as an entity - people come and go but the momentum and energy keep it moving. I am nobody in particular a/k/a the guy you don't pay attention to in the bar making moves and such a/k/a "schooled by older ones" and grateful for ALL the Knowledge. If I have anything positive to contribute to people's days via this here Innerweb, then it may as well be here.
i consistently like soulonice's posts and when i read them i hear them in a humphrey bogart or edward g robinson voice sometimes and laugh and expect him to be wearing a fedora if i ever meet him
i like exchanging funny anecdotes with sween, haz, jp, faux, rapedonkeys on the pm regularly and i hope to hang out with 4/5 in sept when i go to ny
i like it when day introduces/drops some weird animal science like the HYRAX
i like getting my drunk bingo night on with cas
i like drunk dialing/texting soulmarcosa to blab about crushes and comedy and also share the same level of dislike for ray manzarek
i miss dcastillo's contributions and want more mixes
i also wish zvi and birdman would post more these days
i love theecasualmale's sense of humor and recently wondered why he does not do any comedy writing or stand up
i like both noz and parsec. so there.
i like serg's abusive but funny text messages when i don't man up and go out
i like that stef is learning the drums too and can talk learning drums and whatnot
i would like djanna to move back sooner cause it's been a loooong time, at least it seems
i always enjoy running into hoggy, mongo_slade, joshfulrotation, young phon, morse, diane, stef and am fiending for another epic night of karaoke in j-town
I know you don't know me from Adam, but you've taken some medium-rare beef in the last 48 hours or so on the chin without losing your composure or taking off the gloves.

YO!!!! super positiveblast for my man dan who has been running a classy business with integrity for decades and has rain water barrels in his yard eats free range turkey and teaches kids to read! wish i could see this guy more often.
Herm: The best thing about Tucson.
im not disagreeing, but the absolute drunk who owns Mad HAtter is pretty damn entertaining.
Bassie for showing me round T.O & the Mtl Reggae fest.
Danno for Dollar Cinema, Indian Food, & chillness.
Delay, who seems to roll through Mtl once a year, & is good peoples.
Funkyflatuent, who is dude & will lace you with sic raer.
DOR for soulseek files, Oink invites, & KF movie info.
Magnetic for introducing me to demonoid & for KF & music blog links.
Rootless, who needs to come back to Montreal soon. Persians. That's all imma say.
Big Chan for convos on soulseek. He's a true mensch. We gotta kick it in the real world soon.
Aser for putting up with my AIM harrassment. I always bother that guy during "Hell's Kitchen".
AwwDamn for keeping secrets.
Phill Most for raer, civil engineering, & life skillz.
Asprin & Bam for the heatrocks.
RAJ for setting this up.
And there a zillion people who are worth shouting out who don't post here nearly as much as they used to, but who were always cool with me: Hogg, Shig, Dizzy, Josh B, Mordecai, Tony Triple D, AP, Sketch, Roisto & Sampo.
I wanna shout out Guz cause he's a MOT & he's cool. Ditto for JP. NOZ is good peoples & caps lock is a good look. Moark is cool. and I'll shout out elise. This ish reads like some high school yearbook thing. lol.
I'm just gonna shout out Sketch and AKO real quick... I remember back in the day PMing you fools like crazy. shit was fun. I've played internet scrabble with Sketch. and yeah. I WON.
Can't possibly this enough. Those dudes are mega for that.
Also gotta give a shout to Ferrari. That dude has been on the grind hard and is definitely coming up.
And I also need to give a big-time shout to Evil Roy Slade. He has been schooling me via various message boards for a good 10 years now and is one of the coolest, most knowledgeable, most down-to-earth, helpful guys I have had the pleasure of e-meeting/actually meeting.
Thes[/b]- for sending me a copy of Stepfather. He said it was going to happen and I kind of thought he was going to forget but sure enough, 6 months or so later the day after the album sees release I get a package in the mail. Thanks again, man.
S.o.i.[/b]- for being a genuinely nice dude and finally putting something together for the severe NE people to congregate to. Not once, but like three times now!
RPM[/b]- for showing me around his locales record fair and meeting me out at a Mcee-Dees during a downpour flood of historic proportions.
Bambouche[/b]- for being my online travel agent. He's helped me out every time I've asked about points of interest before a trip. I'm talking photos, essays, the works. He is absolutely no joke when he posts.
General SS Populace[/b]- Outside of maybe one or two threads out of hundreds this place has always been informative when I've put my questions out there.
I know there are more but this is all I could muster after 1/2 a cup of coffee.
And I also need to give a big-time shout to Doc McCoy[/b]. He has been schooling me via various message boards for a good 10 years now and is one of the coolest, most knowledgeable, most down-to-earth, helpful guys I have had the pleasure of e-meeting/actually meeting.
(Sorry, dude--I used your alias from a different board the first time I posted this. D'oh!)
