  • GANG STARR - One Of The Best Yet

    Are you fucking kidding me?

    Christmas came early this year my dudes. Here I am at 46 goddamn years old, posting on Soulstrut about a NEW GANGSTARR ALBUM.

    I love it. I absolutely fucking love it. As soon as I heard Gurus voice, I damn near teared up. Yeah I said it - I damn near teared up. 

    So many memories, so much time since Guru passed, we have all grown & spread out across the globe, & not to get all emotional but on a personal note, 2019 was a rough year. But now, on the other side, the healthy recovery side, with a stent in my heart that saved my life & gave me back the feeling of youth, I got to sit down with my teenage sons and together we listened to a new Gangstarr album. Together. 

    This shit MEANS SOMETHING.

    R.I.P Guru.
    Gang Starr for LIFE.

  • Does anyone know NZShadow in the real world?

    Hey. 

    I'm good, I appreciate the thoughts,  I just finally hit my limit with social media.

    I was beginning to notice some serious addictive behaviour in myself & then I stumbled upon a short video by Cal Newport & I realised that all I had to do was go cold turkey.

    Since deleting my IG I have gone on a bit of a tear researching the effects the 'constant companion' social media business model has had on society & have really come to the conclusion that it added sweet fuck all in value compared to the real cost.

    I could go on a fucking tear about Constant Companion, Surveillance Capitalism, Attention Economy, Pavlovian behavioural training, but I won't.

    Anyway, this is the short vid that opened my eyes:





    And this is an excellent speech by another champion of a better way of doing things:

  • Jordan Peele, Yay or Nay?

    I used to work with Jordan. He is the epitome of a Good Dude. Back in Amsterdam in the early 00s at an american improv comedy club called Boom Chicago. Jordan was a cast member for a few years, I was a bartender. Jordan smoked more weed than any of us and that was a fuckin accomplishment in itself.
    I have never known anyone to be so fucking electrifyingly funny on stage, and so quiet, humble and almost shy offstage. I spent many a night tending bar while a very stoned Jordan sat at the end quietly keeping me company and drinking water.
    We had a halloween party once and he came dressed a Blade - fucking killer costume.

    All these years later I can't believe that that good dude is where he is at now. He is truly deserving of all the accolades, fame and $$$ that's coming his way. Just a solid dude.

    Most recent rare bourbon purchase.
    b

    That's my go-to bourbon. I was never a bourbon drinker - stayed in my Scotch lane for decades. Eagle Rare opened my eyes but the higher proof EHT sealed the deal. Its magnificent stuff. Dunno what BT do but I prefer theirs over the competition. I have a 2015 single barrel tucked away plus a few Blantons Gold - so far EHT is the best I've drunk.
