  • Damn man, I can't believe you spent that much on a recording degree....that is absurd. I think I'll end up paying around $16,000 for tuition for 4 years of school at UC Santa Cruz, obviously not including any of the living expenses or other busines…
  • I've been grappling with this sort of thing recently. A Bachelor's degree ain't shit anymore for the most part. Grad schools with high job placement rates are so damn expensive though. Anyone here go to or is a Haas alumni? Anyone go to a top tie…
  • Plus, it was Flip moreso than anyone who initiated the most recent [/b]Houston rap resurgence on the national market. ORLY? sayin though. On a national scale, work that this dude's had his hand in has pushed Houston way more than Flip has. I thin…

  • How can I be down? Nike Zoom Kobe II sz13 - signed by Yuichi lol
  • Do it in San Diego. You L.A. folls could use a weekend getaway, no?
  • I would definitely be down to drink and cop raer. Keep us posted.
  • Kevin Smith sucked ass please tell me more. i think it's funny and so typical that he insisted that he rewrite his own scenes. bruce willis lobbied for it so hard that when the studio guys were discussing the rewritten kevin smith scenes, willis sai…
  • only b/c p**l asked: on the water temperature scale, this film gets a TEPID. However, I was going into the experience a pint of my namesake into it, with a flask on hand for the buzz maintenance, a bag of sunflower seeds and an ogre of a companion …
  • i don't have s.erato in front of me, so i can't check... is the s.erato RCA output balanced or unbalanced?
  • Agreed. Nothing makes you miss the bay like going back for a bit.
  • ugh. not to derail the conversation, but what do the legal minds of the strut think of the lifting of the 96 EFFIN' YEAR OLD ban on minimum retail pricing? Personally, I think it's absolute bullshit. What's worse is these "economists" (excuse me whi…
  • Um, RAP made during this century. classic. yeah. happened.
  • unless those four prongs on the back of the headshell are visually corroded, it should be giving you no problems if it's clean. Inside the tonearm- is one of the sprung connectors in the back partially stuck? I've had one cartridge screw up on me, …
  • switch the sylus out from a headshell/cartridge that works with s.erato to the one you're having problems with. If it fixes it, you need a new stylus. If not, get a new cartridge. I've never seen the Technics headshells actually malfunction, as long…
  • OK, so I'm cool with spending some time at Groove Merchant or whatnot, but how come my man has a total hissyfit when I just want to browse the Neiman Marcus clearance shoe sale??? Hello? MarcJacobRaersHalfOff? DOUBLE STANDARD! I'm just sayin' Ann…
  • If you get something published, plaese to link the strut!
  • they have pretty much dried up as far as getting the board by itself. I have been seeing a lot of this popping up lately: http://www.topdjgear.com/tercacawgran.html in the $40 price range, and includes a new pc board.
  • that sounds like your turntable might not have been level... how much "play" is there at the swivel point in your tonearm? You really shouldn't be able to jiggle it much at all, the only direction it should move in is that which is paralell to the p…
  • play with the anti skate setting a bit, it sounds like as the speed of the vinyl rises, the needle isn't settling into the groove properly, and you're getting bad sound as a result. if you think you might have a bearing issue-- simple bearing chec…
  • not really speaking for you specifically- speaking for people in general in a theoretical sense. If your personal price on this issue is: "more money than a cigarette company could ever pay me", that's excellent for you. I just think that arguing ab…
  • times are changing and yr not allowed to smoke in clubs any more in many places - therefore i don't see that club culture and smoking will be as inextricably linked as a lot of you seem to think for very long. it's not being in a club that makes pe…
  • 2) No matter how many ways you re-phrase it, at some point you need to accept that there ARE people who will turn down huge amounts of money for ethical/moral purposes. Your argument that there is a big enough check out there to buy anyone's soul…

  • There is a large ethical spectrum here and I'm certainly not trying to push puritanism on clubs and bars. Everyone can draw the lines on this spectrum where they want but appearing in print ads for tobacco companies is hella suspect to me. We're no…
  • However, this club ad, and corresponding thread title, are nothing more than soulstrut catnip. More people have now seen this flyer because of this thread than would have as it was passed around Vegas. Soulstrut should receive a royalty check fr…
  • Excellent points, but I still think it's funny that someone posting as "JimBeam" made them. ACK! I've been found out! *changes login name, waits for confirmation email*
  • If that's the case, you should call up Sempra or SoCal Edison or SDG&E or whatever anybody is on and tell them you would like to be disconnected from the power grid. Their products are generally considered "good" and they are definitely prone to…
  • So with that in mind, alcohol may indeed be harmful...but at least it sells in a much more pure i.e. less tampered form than that of cigarettes...which to me makes alcohol a lesser evil. Try telling that to people affected by alcoholic families. An…
