Wanted to chime in my appreciation for everything that Soulstrut gave me and others when it launched. Even though I've been incognito for years now, this site was a vital part of my record education back in the day. S/o to Raj and all the Strutters …

RAJ said: RIP https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/olivette-mo/jason-koenig-10379451 Just heard about this the other day, figured folks on Strut would have heard too. Pretty shocking since he was only 42. As I think the Strut ar…

Congrats!

Hey, you should seriously think about doing something on this for Wax Poetics - maybe track down this cat (if he's still around). --Oliver

Vince Gilligan, literally minutes after the finale aired, basically said, "yeah, we tried to tie up all loose ends." It's not like David Chase being coy about "The Sopranos." Emily and Norm are projecting the finale they wanted vs. the ones …

Thes, if I can offer a thought though: When vinyl was truly viable, it was largely because it was the only option in town, right? So whether things sounded amazing or sounded like shit, you bought an LP on vinyl because there wasn't another m…

A bit off-topic but Laserwolf: I wouldn't assume people had less disposable incomes in the past. If anything, they should have less today, partially because middle class wages have remained stagnant or declined over the last 20 years, thus lowering …

Also found this: http://avsl-citronic.com/product/172.755UK The problem with the Numark and Vestax mini mixers is that they're too high; they were made for 1200s but not a pair of portables. iRig may be the way to go. Here's th…

So this is a bootleg, right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NORTHERN-GLORIA-JONES-TAINTED-LOVE-CHAMPION-ORIGINAL-LISTEN-/251279704848?pt=UK_Records&hash=item3a81700310&ssPageName=RSS:B:SHOP:US:101&utm_source=feedly

Dres: Endicia is great if you're shipping consistently but for "sometimes sellers" like me, I find that stamps.com is actually the better option since there's no monthly fee but you still get access to the same range of services, including auto-prin…

Jonny_Paycheck said:I blame O-Dub I'll take that. I totally ride for this and think it's one of the best Latin soul albums, period. Of course, if you don't like boogaloo... I'm not trying to get into an argument over this but as far as …

JP: This new shipping service is designed to flip that around. It benefits the seller at the expense of the buyer. Via GSP, the buyer has to pay a frickin' slew of fees + full custom costs. The seller pays ZERO beyond normal selling fees. This is a …

Yeah, overseas, I'd never do anything less than UPSS priority or express but even then, they're not perfect. Just wondering if the GSP is better? Protects me but may also drive off buyers, so that seems to be the trade off.

One question about the Sony V500s: given the swivel points, those things are brittle at all? I'm just remembering my bad experiences with those "silver" joints (V800?) there were hot for like a minute until everyone realized how crappy the construct…
-
Thanks for the suggestions. I should have clarified: by "folding flat" I mean that you can flip the cans 90 degrees and therefore, reduce the overall width narrow enough to fit into, say, an LP box. My current Sonys (V600) collapse into a big…
-
I need some new DJ headphones and the main requirement is that they can fold "flat" (i.e. I can turn the cans 90 degrees). The Technics DJ-200As come to mind but wanted to see what else was out there (preferably sub-$100) that I should look into? …

Thread bump. We need that Motown t-shirt re-upped!

tripledouble said:come on now. salt hung up Sure, but it wasn't ALL about that. There are mixes that are strictly on some flossing-top-dollar tip and BF never seemed to flex like that. You're right - it also wasn't a UBB mix either. But my poi…

This thread has "please lock me" written all over it. I'm going to lay off for now but for real, it was a lot better when it was about red beans brands.
