Obviously the Strut is #1, but I'm always curious what other communities of collectors are out there. I can think of a few off the top of my head:waxidermy (weirdrecordsthatsuck/disgruntled record dealer talk)soul source (northern soul)fryer-mantis (funk 45s)the-breaks (haha)diggers with gratitude (good for the random rap)vinyl addicts (dudes trippin' off indie 90s hip-hop joints)vinyl vulture (dead)What am I missing? There have got to be some good forums in other languages too, spawning LeToupts left and right.

    I really dig your location spelunk...

    I cant really think of another board beside those you mentionned, knowing that the-breaks is mostly for MP3 diggers, not vinyls. You didnt mention okayplayer, i guess you have your own reason. I don't like it too. Maybe the aussie forum DJ Sheep is on would fit your needs. There's a bunch of good peeps over there. I can't remember the name tho', i'm not on my laptop. The Strut seems to be the only cool board around...

    I guess that's the one im talking about. I used to go over there like 2 years ago or something...When i was tracking Sheep for his Japanese heat. I didn't go back since.

    Oh, the irony.

    BTW I'm talking more about stuff like - where do jazz/psych/bossa nova/other genre collectros go to talk about things on the internet. My query is not limited to soul/funk/hip-hop.

    There are a few decent reggae boards, although they tend to be scattered around remote corners of the internets.

    Yeah, it's still up (Tasman connection)... but just as a list right now, I'm just finishing converting the audio to mp3 and then the site will be back up.... shortly....

    What about that engineer forum that John Book hangs out at? I think it is very record related and attracks audiophiles and gear heads who debate their preferences for this stereo mix and that mono release.

    djhistory.com - extremely disco biased, but general interest in DJing which is cool

    breakbeat.co.uk - drum'n'bass forum, but most threads are about drugs/sex/a***/c****s/digital or vinyl/more a***/drugs/booze/hangovers etc, along with dogs on acid and the ninjatune forum (which I can never bloody login in to) the threads seem to be a slightly younger generation doing the whole Facebook social-networking thing

    verygoodplus.co.uk - which I find is often about records so obscure I don't have much input, or records so sh*te I haven't the time or space to be interested in buying. They are hardcore on the buying tip, but very friendly and like to chat about whatever really
