Soul Strut 25: We're Not Done Yet Edition

Hey folks.  Alot of isht has gone down in the 10 months since I made that whimsical announcement that I was pulling the plug on soulstrut on Oct 31.   It's been a crazy challenging year for me and my mind has been on other things.  The outpouring of support from faithful strutters has put a lot of things in perspective.  So, much to the chagrin to the people at the-breaks.com and Weird-Records-that-Suck.org, I will be keeping the lights on at soulstrut for the near future.  I'm hoping I can circle back when the smoke clears and spend more time delving into the rich history of this place.  Thank you all for your support and understanding.

    Like a crack addict, I still catch myself typing soulstrut.com from time to time.  I am glad to hear this. Keep it around, who knows what will come out of this in a few years.

    I hope you and yours pull through whatever you're going through. Much love.

    holy fuck! honestly, the thought of typing out some “thank you” post was giving me anxiety, lol just saying “thanks” doesnt really seem like enough… i kept procrastinating on it trying to come up with the right words…

    **edit - its thanksgiving weekend - i am putting on my SoulStrut shirt -Thank You Raj, i appreciate you!

    phew!

    There's nothing sadder than the Harris/Walz attempts at pandering to "the male vote."  Fortunately most are able to see through the bullshit.

    And glad Soul Strut isn't going away!!

    Much like Benghazi, Soul Strut ain't going away!

    Thank you Raj. Kamala thanks you too. She's been buying Jews For Jesus records for decades looking for the one with the breakbeat, all thanks to the Strut. She's never found one, they all suck

    This is amazing to hear RAJ! I found the short time I have been here a blast, and it’s so nice to hear this news!

    Oh wow that's great news. I've been slowly trawling through the old posts.

    Preserving this site is awesome considering how old it is. 1999 is an age of internet people want to remember, and see. It gets even better when the people on the site still use it, because then you know it was a good idea and the history of its success is justified, and the people apart of it can remember what was.

    little bit surprised by how sluggishly this is reaching people, but I also wasn't there for the months that the "Soulstrut: This is the end" thread had slowly gained views. This is amazing news anyway! Hopefully some OGs come back on in the months to come.
