  • Cosign w/ Laserwolf. Media doessn't cost more than 3 bucks for one LP weighing under 2 lbs. $7-8 would be nrmal for Priority. No way for media.
  • bassie said: Pretty Baby - The CODs Oh yeah, one of my all time favorites! "I'll Come Running Back to You" is really nice too. Wish I got to play my Jamaican stuff a little more :P
  • Sorta depends on what kind of night I'm doing, but these always seem to get their turn at our monthly soul party: Joe Bataan, "Magic Rose" (FANIA) Otis Brown & the Delites, "Southside Chicago" (OLE) The Four Tops, "Since You've Be…
  • Right, I generally understand visual grading to mainly involve physical, visible scratch or scuff marks, dirt, and sheen/gloss (or lack thereof). Cracks -and warps- are sort of special conditions that definitely need to be noted but I don't tie th…
  • crazypoprock said:i've seen the kinds of records Japanese people buy...I don't think the "Japanese hit it in the 90's" threat holds much weight! I was thinking that too.
  • Can you still get a chiseled out coffin size fire trap in Chinatown for a reasonable black market price?
  • I think I read its the same model Gerald Ford cruised around in.
  • Is it weird that the city is all on this guy's ass about the contents of his warehouse? It can't be the only building in town that could start on fire or whatever. Sounds to me like some crooked councilman is trying to unwrap the sealed crust with…
  • Also on Strut V. Wax: Both sites have good threads going all the time. Waxi's are obvious heavy on the record talk, but a lot of the threads over there (RR and NRR) are filled up with the same 4 or 5 guys leaving smug, terse, or snarky one liners …
  • I've had only minimal dealings with Caverndiscos, none unpleasant or anything, but I remember lurking on WAX and listening to a podcast interview with him that someone posted. Yes, I had nothing better to do. Anyway, he spent like, a half hour tal…
  • Hell yeah. That TG was gonna be my follow up. So necessary :shreddin_it:
  • Pretty much all I did throughout my 20s was dance at soul & funk nights. Now that I'm approaching the end of my 20s I find myself a less inspired to get out there and cut moves. :down: This jawn's always a magic bullet though
  • batmon said:vinegar said:By the way, trying to compare two geniuses is a nonsense. I disagree. What fun is it comparing two no name session players? Andrew Hill vs. Herbie Hancock would be a good one.
  • I'd never do it to make sure some $18 LP im eyeing at a shop can't be had for 9.99 on ebay, I mean Jesus Christ. But I will do it to make sure that a $100 45 I'm holding can't just be easily attained in cyberspace for like $40. This tactic has sa…
  • I heard thru a friend, one time, that Betty Davis would take off her platform boots and physically assault Alice with them. Not cool...
  • I think Miles' career was probably more consistent and obviously stretched longer in both directions. I think most would agree that he had an incredible knack for finding that tiny sweet spot straddling artistry and marketability. I would disagree…
  • staxwax said: I'd just like to hear somehing new and significant speaking to the current times. This is soulstrut, after all. Oh, this whole thing was just about music? Well then, I'm putting my gold bars in Chain & the Gang's…
  • The general public overwhelmingly prefers to travel the cheesy corporate bitch path. Should we say anything to the fact that the people have clearly spoken?
  • Should we call it then?

  • When I went to the first big Occupy demonstration in my city, one of the more striking things I noticed was that a good 70% of the thousand or so people there were between 35 and 55 and dressed like school teachers on their day off. There really we…
  • staxwax said: big indie pop group / artist Who would this even be in your mind? And why put so much stock in a bunch of 18-yr-old musicians to reshape the world? Not that I disagree with you're appraisal of the times,but really... O…
  • batmon said:Music pleez. I think you could make a case that Miles made better jazz in the traditional sense, and sort of defined what we even think the term traditional sense means, but something about Coltrane's sound is just purely elevati…
  • Yeah, I'm not really a huge expert on their back stories. But its pretty common knowledge that Miles was a seriously jaded MF, whereas Coltrane was trying to unlock a spiritual eden of some kind. Funny then how Coltrane's music was always so much …
  • Its also pretty insulting (and racist, of course) when he infers explicitly states that children from poor families don't have any role models when it comes to working for a living. What an asshole.

  • FortyFivan said:Haha, right?! Although I totally did overreact and felt pretty shitty about it... sorry Rey and team, that's not like me at all. I've been mega stressed out at my day job, have been busting my ass trying to start my own busin…
  • flatblackplastic said:who the fuck is frankie? Yeah, I've never even seen this dude. My guess is its Faux_Rillz real name or something. Also, whatever happened to Bob Desperado?
  • ^^^ Man, when @FortyFivan stormed the field all berserk-like I thought maybe he was overreacting a touch, but then along comes a poast like this and its instant vindication.
