Superpoaster Redux: Jesse sends love
The Superpoaster circle is complete.
The OGs will remember the infamous superpoaster (from--holy crap--14 years ago!). See for example

(but I can't find the infamous troll thread that resulted in superpoaster posting a video showing off his Sergio Mendes "Pele" album as if it were the
--Raj maybe you locate it?)
Anyway, despite some teenage cringe, supepoaster--aka Jesse Futerman--is (and was) a terrific guy who graduated from soulstrut to make real world moves, most recently this collaboration with Beverly Beverly Glenn-Copeland:

It's a thing:

etc. etc. etc.
Now check out Jesse's acknowledgments:
That's right: soulstrut gets a thanks (and, as you may have noticed, before Gilles, who started playing Jesse's music back in the day).
The soulstrut legacy is real.

A mere hundred views views and a dozen comments on soulstrut.com
This probably explains that the struggle is real.
Thanks Raj for keeping it going for a quarter of a century. I was actually wondering over the holidays how long you would keep it going...
TWENTYFIVE years makes you realise how old many of us are by now or (if you were NOT around at the turn of the millenium) how much of this digging culture you missed when it happened "live".
A BIG Thank You to all who have contributed to this site and shared their passion and knowledge.
The alternative to shutting it down would have been to set up a 25th anniversary merch shop: Tee Shirts (!!!), coffee table book... bring it on! Maybe you can still do that!?!?!!!
It makes me sad. FB and IG are so obviously inferior than this medium for fostering community and conversation.

HAZ said:That there hasn't been a Soulstrut book is crazy. This was ground zero for so much stuff. Where would you even begin?
Howard come visit me in Toronto! It's been too long. I'm not even sure anymore whether the dollar cinema was real or just a fever dream.

Bicycles

Kool pic from a morning last week. Heading to the local trails:
Winter's apparently coming, but we're already to November without a storm. Leaves have all changed colors but no wind or rain to knock them down, it's kinda crazy.So gorgeous! I'd love to ride those trails.
This is one of my local trails. Part of 70km singletrack network accessed from a trailhead 7 minutes from my apartment and 25 minutes from the heart of Toronto's financial core.
