  • Has anyone heard about an edict from the EPA dictating vinyl records must not be pressed in the US after 2009?
  • "Bridge is over" 12" on Bridge records for a buck you don't see the original out West. got it off a homeless guy on melrose. the store he tried to sell records to wouldn't let him inside.
  • for the uninitiated, he started and owned Atlantic Records with his brother Nesuhi (and herb abramson at the very beginning). Otis Redding used to call him Omelette and say it with a serious look on his face. Ahmet never corrected Otis and Otis neve…
  • Rest In Peace f*ck. he was an intelligent man with great taste and invested in black music in the 40's and 50's when major labels treated blacks like lepers. saw him about 15 years ago at a Keely Smith show in Las Vegas and he looked extremely frai…
  • noone I know pays for music online. Who does here? people who pay for music online are not likely to be on SS: casual music fans who are mid-to-upper class and females.
  • shanked by Shig!
  • isnt that just wheat pasting or something? jb, i live near you. 6th & normandie. theyve migrated down here. i mean, i dont mind the street gangs that much but i do mind the dopefiends and guns. sorry to hear that. just make sure you're strap…
  • k-town is still kind of in-the-cut. locke!!! hey man, has your neighborhood gotten noticeably dicier in the past few months? its getting a lil insane near me. i'm near 3rd + vermont and it's chill as ever around here. berendo (next street over) …
  • parts of long beach are really good, but rents are similar to L.A. now. it's a chill place with a great quality of life compared to the madness of L.A. i grew up in LB, but live in k-town now. k-town is still kind of in-the-cut. rents are semi-affor…
  • You're probably not referring to moi...Me and Grandpa Shig rep hard for the pop music lovers up in this place. who do you consider pop? Maroon 5? Jay Z? Christine Aguilera? Third Eye Blind? Coldplay? any American Idol stars?
  • "The metal half balls do the same, but they're SUPER HEAVY so there's no way that the 45 will slip UNDER teh adaptor... this has happened to me a few times and it's UGLY. " i'm with you on that. Dub Vendor in London sells some heavy, heavy ones wit…
  • i prefer the cones (both red plastic and steel). toss a disc in the vicinity of the spindle and the cone catches it. it doesn't have to be fitted like the metal ones that come with Technics 1200's.
  • i've only seen styrene copies and my copy is cue burned ta rass clot @ the beginning.
  • Victim of the Ghetto....thats was still is my shit....also, Hollywood Paradox....that also had a track on a sndtrk---HOw to act---kinda corny bw a dope hook....Tx cats too!! what song of theirs used the ubiquitous Tyrone Thomas sample? pretty sure …
  • But reggae really hasn't been live band music to begin with. It's always been about selectors playing the records and DJ's toasting over. That's the real "live" reggae sound. WOW, I never heard this before. It was basically a soundsystem cultur…
  • i worked at paisley park for 3 days in '87 i think. we were recording Aswad for a movie. he had two rooms for tracking with a small rehearsal room in between. in the small rehearsal room Steve Miller was getting his group ready for a tour. so, every…
  • personally, i don't mind if it's a fella or female, but the franchise deserves better than a weak-ass tune by soundgarden's singer. they should've gotten Nicole Willis to belt out something funkee! and the damn thing should be scored by David Holmes…
  • loved the pic + craig as JB. but that chris cornell song blows!
  • but i usually wind down with "put it in your mouth",.. now, that's a proper send-off tune.
  • sorry--Kobe's clocked 30,000 minutes, not 35.
  • will Kobe ever reclaim his athleticism or was his knee operation the beginning of the end? phil jackson addressed this in the LA Times today and said Kobe's knee will never be 100% again. he also suggested that after playing 20,000 minutes Kobe wil…
  • He'll regain his explosiveness. I didnt hear anyone speak on his operation like they spoke about Stoudmire's. Right now, everyone involved presumes he'll return to his former athletic ability. However, his recovery period is way past what the doct…
  • dang, it's got to be hard for his pops (o'jays lead singer) to outlive his son.
  • if you listen to his intonation and delivery, his speaking was totally disarming. it's hard to oppose someone who's demeanor is so beyond reproach. he's smart, erudite and totally next level. also, he was the resident music head. the guy who got on …
  • the only dem with major nuts turns out to be a lady.
  • got the same record, but alas, no knowledge to drop...
  • Friedman and Brooks are both on Meet The Press right now claiming Obama is the guy for 2008. On CBS Sunday Morning, there was a very un-funny "humorist" named Mo Rocca who spent 5 minutes riffing on what a goofy name Obama is. It was some really ra…
  • Barak is probably the voice of conscience and that's a lot for now. we need to get our sense of purpose straight in this country again. we're uninformed and easily snowed (or b*sh would never would have been able to execute his coup). we're falling …

  • and to create even more levity, one of his parents was white and the other black. When was the last time listening to ANY politician speak gave you a sense of...relief? A well-read, well-spoken, charismatic figure who understands nuance and compl…

  • He is so clear. my wife tivo'ed his appearance on Oprah and O tried to scold him for not accepting a ride on her private jet when he was traveling to Africa. his reply was: he has a policy of not accepting plane rides or favors from corporations. he…
