  • I think a lot of people forget that there was a war going on, and that's why a lot of NY folk didn't listen to pac or west coast music in general in the early 90s. I certainly didn't. I liked the first album, and of course listened to shit like ke…
  • I recently watched Season 1 on DVD - but I've heard Season 2 isn't so hot - should I skip ahead??? --- Just to cosign on other people: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "SKIPPABLE" WIRE SEASON. Does. Not. Exist. And in any case, you'd be missing a sh…
  • I love NO music, like Aaron Neville (especially that gem w/ linda ronstadt "Don't know much"...for real), and have always liked the song...plus it's really hard to find (I don't care whether it's styrene or not since I don't spin out). I traded fo…
  • My main concern is AT&T. Can it really be as bad as everyone suggests? I did have it years ago and switched to Verizon, which I really like. I'm really torn. I was really worried about the service price, but it's actually really good. Damn,…
  • Just finishing this: Quite enjoyable, really. If you're looking for an alternate alternate history, this book is incredible... It's a murder mystery that takes place in a jewish settlement in Alaska that was set up after the Jews were kicked …
  • It's weird that this hasn't seen any development. It has it all....intrigue, overnight stardom, mobsters and their girlfriends, drug habits, Texas AND LA, suicide/murder(by gasoline down the throat) and old music waiting to be re-packaged and re-ma…
  • you see it as cool i see it as pathetic. if my (grand)father went around like that i would move to the mountains. no, you'd be a billionaire's son, loving every minute of it. Just think how sick your record collection could be...
  • I love Amy's album, but there are a grip of white ladies that are better and certainly have longevity... um, Madonna Chrissy Hynde Stevie Nicks, definitely Cher Bjork
  • Mike, My problem with Tom is that I'm not sure what "purpose" he serves that makes me care about him beyond the fact that he's not a bad judge but I don't understand why we see any more of him besides at the judge's table. I know "Top Chef" didn't …
  • Tom Colicchio is one of the best things the show has going for it. Anthony bourdain is also great, but not as measured in the things he says. Tom is able to talk about the food in a way that allows a viewer who can't taste or smell it a real under…
  • Snuka was unfadeable. His steel cage matches with Backlund when Snuka was a bad guy were epic. I liked the polish power, ivan putski too. Ronnie Garvin from the AWA was pretty cool too with his stone fists or whatever it was. Piper always put on…
  • definitely congrats. That's great to hear.
  • Seriously though, I want to pick these up: I'm not joking, I think they're profoundly awesome. I guess they cost over $4000 though - Balenciaga. Do you think these could be sexy? With black fishnets and a black pleather mini skirt? No. No. No…

  • [*]Is it customary to tip a personal shopper and/or custom tailor (when the suit cost wins you a 'free' job from the boutique's custom tailor not employed by the boutique)? If it's the boutique's custom tailor, you best believe he/she is getting m…
  • Question: Is the South really here to stay? hopefully this q is not tied to the career of paul wall No, just asking in general. Please be serious. We've only been running rap for a deacde. Atlanta = rap's capitol If Atlanta is rap's capitol, i…
  • Like Chan said, I don't really have the patience for Bordeaux wines, plus I already spent too much money on some nice 05 CA pinots that should be shipping at the end of this month. I'd be interested in seeing what you buy. What Pinots did you ge…

  • considering the significance of what this is and what this means to me. But you know, I'm getting married in less than 3 months Is that a wedding present hint?
  • also, Mingus' autobiography "Beneath the Underdog" is a great read. Speaking of which, when is Robin DG Kelley's Monk biography coming out. It's been in the works for years.
  • Jay-Z by a lot. Illmatic's the greatest LP ever, and Nas can still mesmerize with a verse or if we're lucky a song, but J's been making hits at such a consistently high level for so long, he left Nas in the dust a while ago.
  • Actually, she kind of stayed in the box for most of the night (a bit too much for my liking), not really stretching her voice until the end, when she did and sounded good doing it. The production is definitely working in her favor, as is her image.
  • I saw her live last night. She has hit written all over her. The dap kings were tight as can be expected. She was a bit of a mess, forgetting words, clearly reading her set list, but then again it was a showcase, so that's fine. She reminds me a…
  • I was in Tulum over new years. I stayed at Ana y jose. It's one of the "nicer," bigger (meaning about 30 rooms) hotels around, basically really nice private bungalos with a pool, restaurant, 24-hour electricity (which is rare) and beautifully kept…
  • The first time I ever saw Biggie was at Lyricist Lounge in whatever year. Party and Bullshit had just come out. He was hosting LL. He performed the song. When "and a fucking fight broke out" came on, these little scrappers (literally like 10 5-f…
  • My main spots in high school were MKs, the Building, HomeBase (I don't remember it being crazy...the tunnel was worse), The Muse, Big City Diner, Don Hills, RedZone only a couple of times. I went to SHeets and Pillows only once. Same with Soul Kit…
  • I love the 2nd album, but it was a lot darker than the first. Puba brought a bit of lightness to the group that I feel like they missed on "In god..." And "One for all" wasn't so heavy on god speak, which I think they over did a bit on #2. I vote …
  • it was great seeing those dudes beat up the soundman out in LA, i guess it was back in '94. one of the funniest experiences ever! Actually, that totally jogged my memory. I definitely saw them at the Ritz. They cut their show kind of short beca…
  • Damn, what a classic...and then they broke up so soon. I don't think I ever saw them perform on the first go around (though I kinda feel like I did, but I have no firm memory...might have been a ritz show..maybe with Tribe...anyone???). And then J…
  • Loose Joints ??? ???Is It All Over My Face? (Unreleased Demo Version)??? It???s like watching for twelve minutes the formation of a rapidly and endlessly uncoiling redwood-thick disco constrictor, with a liquid cello spine and every scale pinprick-…
