  • Disturbing on a different level, maybe, but this one always stands out for me:
  • I'm curious how effective a floor-to-ceiling wall of records is at aborbing sound and preventing it from traveling through the walls. This is essentially the set-up I have in my record room, and I'm always wondering how much of my music is heard by…
  • I own way too many Oregon albums and solo albums by Oregon members. They often come close to being ill, but seem to willfully pull back into the worst new age world music cliches, never allowing a single song to be completely awesome. Having said …
  • Am I the only one that doesn't get how this analogy is supposed to work?
  • man, even as overexposed as it is, "Green Onions" still blows me away in it's raw funkiness.
  • Its a zen like feeling vs. make some contact at aflea market and walking into this dingy old apartment and having random small talk. I am rambling... but let me know your feelings on the state of digging. It's the total reverse for me. I've never…
  • DROPPIN MAD SCIENCE LIKE MY MAN KURT VONNEGUT Actually, it's "doin' Hocus Pocus like my man Kurt Vonnegut", which makes a lot more sense because Hocus Pocus is one of Vonnegut's later books.
  • "Whats the matter, Philouza, one to many of Mr. Graham's crackers?" "...have some of that new-fashioned peanut brittle, on me!"
  • (hip hop soldier and i'll roll you up are my joints!). 'Hip Hop Soldier' is oddly one of the first rap songs that I had all the lyrics committed to memory. Fun fact #2: I actually ordered a "swass" T-shirt (black on white with the jet on it) fr…
  • Damn, I didn't mean to push any buttons. I was just genuinely surprised to learn that Seattle does not embrace Sir Mix-A-Lot. Up until now, I practically wished I lived in Seattle just so I could get away with bumping "Buttermilk Biscuits" at hous…
  • having come up in the seattle real rap community, i can't think of one person who would ride for mix-a-lot. except for the mid 80's when he was underground and didn't have a record out and played his cuts on the weekly rap show. wtf?? Seattle doe…

  • Last week Kanye appeared and performed on Ellen and I came to the conclusion that my personal/local rap experience does not include artists or groups that appear on daytime talk shows. Don't speak too soon...far better rap artists than Kanye have b…
  • My girl is forever doing this thing where there's a song playign and as she says somethign, the same word is sung in the song at the same exact moment. It also never fails that if you're listening to rap with someone else and they ask who it is,…
  • this sort of goes hand in hand with the constant occurence of FINALLY finding a record you've been looking for for a hot hot minute....and then finding another copy within the next two weeks. It never fails. Yeah, that phenomenon never ceases to a…
  • I'm surprised this thread isn't more gung-ho about the dude. No mention of Rabid, Shivers, The Fly, Dead Ringers, Naked Lunch? Actually, those were all mentioned. And AHoV was I'm late. Too slow.
  • I'm surprised this thread isn't more gung-ho about the dude. No mention of Rabid, Shivers, The Fly, Dead Ringers, Naked Lunch? Jesus, the man is a genius. I always love any interviews with him I can get my hands on too.
  • Friends brought our 2 year old son a copy of Goodnight Moon. He was having trouble at bedtime... temper tantrums, refusing to sleep, tossing everything out of his bed etc... Then along came Goodnight Moon. Parents take note: There be magic in t…
  • I always gravitated to the crappy games that no one could suck at:
  • It's different here in the Baltimore/DC area, I think, because a lot of this music never really died here. You might not hear the crazy raers, but you will definately hear the Brenda Russells, Starpoints, and Keni Burkes on the regular. I've heard…
  • I'm a huge Swamp Dogg fan. He's got that country Jackie Wilson voice, the ill concepts, the D.I.Y. attitude, the production, etc. Dude even put the Commodores on, and moved Lionel Ritchie from sax to lead vocals. Ditto on the Doris Duke. …
  • The only two records from that wall that I own I found on the same day almost exactly a year ago: The Lovelites and the Milton Wright.
  • On a similar note, a good friend of mine has long advocated for substituting "vegan(s)" for the N-word, which produces some equally funny results.
  • I'm a huge Buckwild fan. He's a top ten producer for me. The thing that's ill about him is that you never hear a beat by him and think "that's a Buckwild beat". You just hear a dope beat and find out later that it's Buckwild when you check the pr…
  • RETARDED IN A BAD STUPID OFFENSIVELY UN-FUNNY WAY The Ten should definately be filed under "retarded" but it has a lot of huge laughs in it. Very "Kentucky Fried Movie". I watched it in a theater with about twenty people and more than half walk…
  • Favorite costumer?
  • It's definately 45 King for me, but I gotta say that I'm slowly coming around to Mo Bee's production. Aside from a few of his hits, I never was really feeling that heavily-filtered boom bap sound. Only in retrospect am I starting to realize the in…
  • I doubt many kids are listening to Prince these days, but he's still doing good things. I really don't think "the kids" are checking much these days. ::OLD MAN:: sadly, there is not a single artist mentioned here that is at all relevant to today'…
