I really think it’s time for Soulstrut to be done, Raj. While I know that Soulstrut got its first toehold on the strength of, like, Iron Monkey heavy-metal-breaks mixes and Alphonse Mouzon mp3s and shit, once the forum clicked (what was that,…

Oh shit! In a low-key but undeniable way, one of those people, to paraphrase James Murphy, without whom my whole situation doesn't exist. Not only were Mike's music and mixes and designs inspiring at a pivotal moment, boring deep into…

I'm not trying to make any point with this or imply that it's any kind of metric--just a by-the-by thing that this thread has made me semi-curious about: How many black NYC residents are currently active on soulstrut? Two? Three?

Upon review, most of what my brain has filed as "great lines" are actually, when confronted on the page, multiple sentences long. Either that, or they don't really say anything when removed from their context. Good, honest-to-goodness stand-alone si…

Your mom's head is so big that her wig has a retractable roof.

I heard your mom stacks chairs for Bobby Knight.

I heard your dad was running around Detroit in some hot pants, talmbout "Mo' cheeks!"

I heard your mom washes dishes down at the cafeteria and talks about how she's "hittin' trays."

I heard the manager at Old Country Buffet was locking up for the night when your mom tried to call him for goaltending.

I saw your mom on the Kiss Cam making out with a bucket of wings. Related: Back in high school, my man Nguyen from Vietnam was snapping on one of his dudes, and I can't remember the setup, but the payoff was something about dude's mom being n…

It seems notable that whenever this "ban" shit pops up, the people most deeply involved--the plaintiff, the defendant, the loudest voices in the chorus, etc.--are almost never people who are known on this board for their music-related contributions.

Thanks for the kind words, Stacks. Coincidentally enough, the (now-ex-) wife of one of my good friends--alluded to in my post above--is a big fan of both 80s music and Michael Franks, and in the course of talking with her a while back, it see…

My personal favorite is Dragnet, but my feeling is that This Nation's Saving Grace is probably the one record to listen to if you want to decide whether or not you really like The Fall. All the DNA is there. If you like something on that record, you…
