after all these years, i still wonder about the origin of some people's usernames and where they came from. i know some of them are actual names, other dj names and whatnot, but others leave a few questions unanswered.
what is the inspiration, origin, reason or explanation behind your soulstrut username?

The ocean is right over the ridge on the other side of the pond.
My previous name, Great_Blue_Hills, came from the place I was working when I first posted on Soulstrut, WGBH in Boston. I was posting in response to a question about James Brown's famous 1968 concert in Boston following the King assassination, so I took the first thing that came to mind. The GBH in WGBH stand for Great Blue Hills, which is where their first broadcast transmitter was located.
I usually DJ under the name of Grandpa Jesus
Huh. I always just figured you had named yourself after some old dude.
I used to be a huge Unsolved Mysteries fan and their segment on the D.B. Cooper story was one of the best. That and when ghosts were haunting some suburban split level and the garage appeared to be ablaze in blue flames -- that was pretty cool, too.
Next thing you're going to be telling me your parents didn't name you after Jesus Jones. Don't lie to me bro. Own it. Love it.
spelled the indian way to confuse people.
So by my powers of deduction, you're also a big fan of "Tighten Up" and "Soulful Strut"?
My username is an astute shortening of my long rapz name.
He called me "Cromag" because I played drums like a caveman.
When I started DJing and making beats I changed it to "Kid Cromag"
and when I met my wife she said I should change it to "Kind Cromang"!
Claro que si! And for the record, this is THE best Latin Soul song:
in the sparse dj gigs since then, ive never used the same name twice, for no other reason that i liked coming up with dj names.
other monikers included phallic baldwin, girth brooks, flirt reynolds, keffah sutherland, dj tanner, etc. etc. etc....
kvh was a former sixer who i couldn't stand. no real reason behind the name at all except to humor myself at the time.
Its a combo of Mr Lee by The Bobbettes and Dr Lee PHD by The Beasties.
C'est tout.
Huh. Given his Bruce Lee fandom and academic experience, I always just assumed you were an ODub alias.
I think I was Jump Jump and Dan in previous incarnations.
I also like almonds and almond- or amaretto-flavored things such as almond croissants, marzipan and the base of Cherry Garcia ice cream. Is it just me or does almond extract smell like cherries?
My mom is always bugging me to eat more almonds. She says they make your brain grow, but if you eat too many, you'll get a nut allergy.
