  • BSFK, I don't have any particular experience with moving records en masse down south (other than the couple hundred or so I got on a trip with my digging potna a few years back) but the general moving advice goes double for trips that involve such …
  • Who says the late 1970s are a bad time for jazz music?
  • I really don't care for any defense of rap (yes, rap) that relies on distinctions between the "good" rap with morally defensible content and the "bad" rap that is sexist and homophobic. Any worthwhile defense of the form has to embrace it all, part…
  • It's nice to see another one of soulstrut's finest getting some shine. I was hoping they would profile Motown67's top secret eBay high bid history, so we could all experience the wrath of the math! But some secrets need to stay that way. Congr…
  • I mean that is my outlandish homer-ass prediction, being a Warriors fan. I know they stand a slim chance. I would not bet against Don Nelson, especially Don Nelson with an axe to grind and a scroat to shove in Cuban's face. But I don't think they'l…
  • I don't think so. I think Nellie is focused and he is not going home this series. I had a feeling this was personal for him considering the harsh exit from Dallas. He is working out some demons on your team's collective ass and it is not pretty. Sw…
  • one of those dudes who speaks with a forced unnatural low register. Haha. That was me on the Radio Zoo, the show I had with my buddy Dave in college freshman year. I stopped because: it seems phoney baloney
  • "They speak English in what?" No, but they do go to sleep. night night boys.
  • i actually alluded to that in my first message... This is a message board. Allusions are lost. Plus, I thought that you were talking shit until at least your third message on the subject. I know I'm not alone. When you start talking about a r…
  • If Imus worked for me, I would have fired him. I wouldn't have waited to hear what the advertisers wanted to do, nor would I have taken a poll among my non-white board members to see how they felt about his remarks. And you know what else, I would…
  • obviuosly.... okeh-major lance ...and Walter Jackson, and Billy Butler, and Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and Big Maybelle, and Johnny "Guitar" Watson and/or Larry Williams, and the Vibrations, and the Artistics, and Dr. Feelgood & the Interns, plus …
  • Before coming to this party, I was feeling the need for renewal. I've been listening to new music. New to me. DJ SHADOW - This Time(I'm Gonna Try it my Way) b/w This Time(I'm Gonna Dub it My Way) This little curiosity has a small hole. It's als…
  • How many fingers will it take to count Missouri? Many. There are quite a few soul records from Kansas City and St. Louis. Columbia, Jefferson City and Warrensburg? Not so many. Was there any distribution to Columbia or Jefferson City? Bands must …
  • id love to make an Iowa soul site, but i dont think i have the resources, and i only have 2 (good) local 45s... The Noteables on Sound City and The SOULution on IGL anybody have anything close to this? id love to just see a list of good iowan shit…
  • O Happy Rabo Karabekian is very sad today.
  • Plaese to come hang out and drink free beer with us I told my brother to go. Don't know if he will, though. I hope you guys sell a gang of records. Best, JRoot
  • Happy Birthday Kwame! "Line it up in that puccini"
  • I think he's reacting to the people who've been saying to take the crosshairs off of Sharpton when, considering his past, others have every right to put him in their sights. Do you normally take hypocrites seriously? Aaronbobo = above hypocrisy W…
  • It's music made by a mental patient, a hillbilly, or a chimpanzee. Does anyone else have the misfortune of owning the "Crafty Ladies Christmas" 45? When I added it to my collection of Christmas sevens for a quarter, I didn't realize it would haunt…
  • Does this place in PA have VPI parts as well? Is yours broken down on you? Or is it just getting kinda nasty in the way that it gets after cleaning a couple seven hundred records?
  • Damn Drew! Stick to pushups! I'm relieved that the x-ray above is not from your actual arm (unless you have what looks like a bullet embedded in your bicep from another altercation in the gymnasium). Get well, and stay strong (but not broken(La…
  • fireworks Nice photo.
  • Reacting to my "funny Soulstrut stories": Maaaaaaaaaaaan I haven't laughed that hard in a minute. Marriedheadzknowthedeal I second this amen. And I add a hearty happy birthday to any woman who can stand a man who writes on soulstrut, …
  • Is it really that different from this place? I think it's younger than this place, and less creative than this place. I thought that the-breaks.com's dickweed declaration against Spanky Illson was based exclusively in anti-Asian racism, but accor…
  • As always, Frank's finds are the most unique. Thanks for sharing them with us. The Lijadu Sisters looks like artwork from Mingering Mike.
  • I am not intimate with this area of the law, so this is not legal advice, merely the advice that I'd give to a friend in need. Take it for what it's worth. I think the answer is that one serving time for a felony can probably sell his belongings w…
  • Dan, what's the recovery like. I've been told I'll be out of action for a few days. Dan can offer more personal insight, but a friend of mine had a non-surgical vasectomy performed on his deferens, and he was up and walking around within the hour…
  • $50? Fuck that, I'm putting a sween on that motherfucker. Excellent use of a sween. Hi Sween. JRoot
  • UP HIGH. 1. Oregon Ducks 76, UNLV Runnin Rebs 72. The Ducks entered the tournament as a number 3 seed, ranked tenth in the country, and having won six straight games. Yet I have seen sports writers predict that they would lose to Miami, to Winthr…
