batmon said:What lead up to Esquivel being revisited makes me wonder. One event or a culmination? I don't know whether they were thee thing, but I remember those RE:Search Incredibly Strange Music jernts being talked about a whole lot, and really …

batmon said:Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band Late 70's Or their white equivalent, The Blow Monkeys. I kid. Though perhaps not entirely. Pizzicato 5? I don't know. This is a real interesting thread. I don't know that I hav…

You know, I like this record fair amount (though not nearly as much as Private Press), but I think it's one of those ones that's kinda impossible to get into after the fact. If you first heard it back when it was just another cool new record, it's m…

HarveyCanal said:This doc will be premiering at SXSW... Oh, man--that's my dude. I know people sweat his records, but my shit is the solo live stuff where it's just him and some beat-up upright at the Maple Leaf or wherever and nothi…

[ They have a dude who did all the recordings with them, but they wouldn't let him be a proper member of the group on some fuck off, we're all super famous and you're not shit. Then the poor guy has to look at the guy from ELO all session wondering …

JectWon said:RIP to a master and a legend. I remember in the wayback during some music-related snaps thread (can it be that it was all so simple then, soulstrut dot com?), without remembering that he was around, I said something like "I heard your…

yuichi said:#31 > few detractors. The fact that so many have voted this in as an important record to them "personally" speaks volumes. It's not your thing anymore. We get it. It was never your thing. Why are you replying to the thre…

HarveyCanal said:I don't really put too much stock in what the internet is saying in comparison to real life. My bad, I guess. Our mileages definitely vary, then. My record friends notwithstanding, I don't think I know a single person in real life…

HarveyCanal said:I'm actually the exception from the norm within my own demographic. I don't think this is true. This archetype you're talking about--the white dude holding up DJ Shadow as the end-all be-all--might have been for real in th…

HarveyCanal said:But yeah, yeah, yeah, Shadow was a crate digger...as if there had never been one before him. Oh yeah, that's right, Shadow became THE faceless white crate digger, finally giving white dudes their means to trump the mystical black be…

SIRUS said:"She is, at a minimum, from Harlem, though that doesn???t mean what it used to, either." what the hell does that mean? I think the writer is saying that being "from Harlem" used to connote authenticity, because Harlem was--in the…
