I wouldn't be surprised if folks came away feeling disappointed and while I didn't feel that way, I think it's a fair critique. i wasn't disappointed either, more curious. it was ambitious and different. they threw the digging-in-the-crates men…

the set started with a film appreciation to the 45, approached like a 50's or 60's doc. it may have lasted 8 or 10 minutes? there's a lot less emphasis on funky beats....this one isn't for the heads all the way through....some of it is and part of i…

yo, been away from SS for some time. i'm on page 2 of this thread and this ass talk/bathrrom etiquette is pure comedy. also, picking up tips like the fine art of the "double flush",....

conversely, it's about 74 degrees F in LA today. t-shirt and sandals weather. that tells you why there's way too menny mothafuckas movin' out here from the cold places.

NO NO RECS IN SO CAL dude is right. far too many diggers, nowhere near enough good sh*t to go around. and so many stores have relationships with big sellers and flip the best stuff to them or save it for ebay. socal sucks for wax.

at 18, i was playing a house party in a band and we took a break. after 20 minutes went by, we couldn't find the lead singer anywhere. we were getting paid for the gig and the party people were starting to sweat us, so we really tried to find this d…

Domino and Snoop are both from the LBC. Not sure where Domino lived, but he went to Millikan high school in a middle class part of town (los altos), while Snoop went to Poly High (when he went), close to the hood.

There's no shame in doing 20k in this market brotha. A smart man can still pump a 6 figure income with those scans and some hard work. To illustrate how far the (previously) mighty record biz has slipped: the number one album in America last week…

sometimes it's nice to start out with an over-proof + coke to get things started right at the club. but we gotta remember a lotta ska dudes left us early coz they downed a bottle a day. hence, the term rot-gut.

"007"/"Shanty Town" by Desmond Dekker was dropped at midnite.

The 1980s will see Sly and Robbie burst onto the international scene with everyone from Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones to Carly Simon and Joe Cocker queuing up for their services. There is even an ill pairing with James Brown where the godfather o…

i worked (at Island Records) in the 70's Did you ever meet Swamp Dogg? (One album on Island around 1975.) yeh, met Swamp Dogg (jerry williams) in the mid-70's. when he got his advance from island he wired every room in his house for sound, so he c…

Did you work there at that time, or did you hear the story later? That early-to-mid 80's period was a pretty interesting time in terms of their output. i worked there in the 70's and left, then returned in '82 and worked with them through the 80's.…

"Happy Christmas, **** - oh, by the way, James Brown's dead." Those were the first words I heard from my brother on Christmas Day. I've been away from a computer for over a week, so I've spent a little time catching up on the many JB-related thre…

a friend just showed me the funeral on tivo. highlights: bobby byrd bustin' "i know you got soul" and Hammer's dancing (believe it or not).

for good food, try a high end joint on 3rd (not far from farmer's market) called AOC, nice tapas style. also, the place leo, bono, jack + those kinda celebs eat chinese is Mr. Chow's in Bev. Hills. the food is expensive ($75 per) but good. decline t…

the 45 on gold future is by the playboys same group and song. i've got both 45's. the japanese pic sleeve is for the Thunder & Lightning version and i have that too.
-
fyi: there's 2 versions of "bumpin' bus stop". the small label first recording on St. Louis label Gold Future is kinda hard to get. (also, there's a japanese pic sleeve!)

a few years ago, a guy i know played in King James' band. JB played a New Year's gig at a major Las Vegas hotel. He gave it all he had, but the Vegas crowd was kinda wet. After giving them an encore, the audience continued to demand more. The hotel …

i'm not in love with either of 'em, but they don't really impact our lives....just switch the damn channel. the bullet has to travel through the dome of George Wuss. that's what i'm sayin'.

well there go my hopes of golden state somehow being involved in this. melo and AI on the same team: they're going to struggle over the ball like shaq + kobe...."who's team is it?"

Is it b-boy to boost (wax)? - spidey rascist? hmmm... not from my point of view, coz i know b-boys of every ethnicity. but maybe you have your own agenda and only consider (a) specific race(s) to be truly down...
