Also: pcmr said:brief period... ...from approximately ???92 to ???97 Not to be reductive of what obviously represents a lot of work and affection from your dudes, but I guess I'm old enough to think it's weird to see five years worth of the b…

I played that Yvette Michelle "DJ Keep Playing" record just the other day.

Arnold Dreyblatt & Megafaun's Appalachian Excitation. It's got four pieces--one dirgey thing, one droney thing, one groove-based thing, and one thing that sounds like country Television--and apart from the hippie dishwater liner notes from the u…

DJ_Enki said:james said: Two surprisingly affecting instrumental versions: - The Lox???s ???Ryde Or Die B***h???. Always loved that beat. Pretty sure Timbaland jacked the drums (or at least the snare) from the Pharcyde's "Runnin'" bu…

tripledouble said:mom was involved in some capacity I'm gonna start using this to snap on dudes. You can tack it on the end of anything and it sounds like diss: "Yo, I was at the store the other day..." "Yo, I was down at Payless try…

Everything must go: Two things I sometimes unwittingly say in conversation just like they say on the record: - Whenever I???m leading someone across a street or something, I'll say ???heeerrrre we go??? just like Slick Rick. - When…

Very cool. I forget the context, but some time ago I referred to someone or something that was not central but was nonetheless crucial as "playing the Tito Libran role." That 23 Skidoo clip is pretty tough. I remember reading something about …

bassie said:It's weird to expect an underground when everything is online...and even then, who can keep up with it all? So there will always be something on the periphery. Maybe underground has been replaced with a more accurate DIY. It is a give…

My cat-eyeliner nightmares are the same, except I'm not wearing any pants.

In my cat-eyeliner dreams, I am invited by Shirin Neshat, Diamanda Galas, and Maria Callas to be their fourth at bridge.

J i m s t e r said:You nailed the ingredients to the Winehouse mug, yet, somehow, you could see the talent and that made it, as a whole, get over the net? I don't want to put dude on blast, but I distinctly remember a certain soulstrutter--one…

"Hey! How Does Everybody Know" - Arthur Russell b/w "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye" - Leonard Cohen/Roberta Flizzack (peace to Whitelily)

Jonny_Paycheck said:* the only time I saw The Meters live, there was a guy yelling this at the drummer (I think) all night. Many years ago, me and DCastillo and Rob Zilla and the visiting Joeltown67 and possibly some others were riding around to r…

finelikewine said:I was totally surprised by this OSMONDS (!!!) song. Are there any other good Osmonds songs? Rockadelic's got a good story about an unlabelled acetate of Donny n' 'nem's The Plan.

day said:Man...what the fuck is going on here? This might be the lowest I've ever seen this place (and that's saying a lot). Some shameful schitt in this thread. I agree. I don't when this became such a shitty, stingy, no-style-hav…

batmon said:Overrated = "writing it off" & "didnt like it"? "Overrated" = "writing it off to [some] extent", yeah. And you sound like you didn't like it. Or at least you sound like your opinion of it was influenced considerably by the kind of …

batmon said:50% of Illmatic is 5 songs. Take away the Intro and Halftime, what's left? Those other albums left alot to get into. Doggy has 16 and Cuban Linx has 18. When Red was setting us up for Straight Out The Jungle, he didnt overwork…

SP 1200 said:SIRUS said:what is it about world is yours that you don't like? The chorus. Really? I like it. It's completely selfish and personal (the world is mine), while at the same time also magnanimous and universal (the world is yours),…

SIRUS said:swv came about before. Oh shit--how could I forget?! When they first dropped, all three of them were in ads and shit wearing those unfashionably severe Terminator shades, so for a good while I really thought "SWV" stood for "Sist…

Was "It Ain't Hard To Tell" the first-ever cleared MJ sample?

Jonny_Paycheck said:So it's overrated because the marketing and label admin was not up to snuff? Absolutely. I can't hear "Halftime" without thinking of Michael Rapaport. That's a mic-and-a-half deduction, right there.
