  • DJs never followed this rule, right? At least those who play for regular folks...
  • Just got back to Nashville after a weekend in Memphis with my wife. Had to go to Central BBQ again and also had a great burger at Huey's in Midtown. Grabbed a few things off my want list at Goner and Shangri-La. The $50 Bohannon Stop a…

  • Greetings, I know I'm a little dude because I was searching for any discussion on this Love, Peace & Happiness LP I bought yesterday. Apparently they merged with The Nite-Liters to form The New Birth. Great. Now for the real que…
  • Are people really out there trying to cut up 180-gram reissues? Why not just use Serato? *edit* Sorry, I read your OG post as "reissuing," not "issuing." Either way, 180-gram wax is no fun to rewind once, let alone run double…
  • J Rocc - Sex Machine Today was a revelation in my younger days (freshman in HS when it dropped). Haven't heard it in a long time, but it's still the first one that pops in my head. Also, on the more recent tip.......Jay Ski absolutely …
  • This album put Grant Green Alive! on my radar and I'm forever in debt for that. Can't decide between "Vibes and Stuff," "Excursions," or "Butter" as my favorite track. Unbelievable rap record.
  • They put out a 2LP of the Michal Urbaniak Group's first two albums. Actually found that yesterday in the field. If you already own those on the original EU labels though, I guess it's worthless. Jimmy Stewart - Fire Flower is my shit. Solo…
  • Yep. It sucks. My apologies if you're surprised.
  • DocMcCoy said: You seem to be implying that Kanye needs help with his beats, when just about everything he did prior to 2006 would seem to indicate otherwise. His solo MPC beats were always weak to me. Like they literally sounded chea…
  • For all the people saying he makes "good" to even "great" beats (which I've always disagreed with)...... You know he's been getting EXTENSIVE help on his production since 2006, right? We're not talking session players and string sections, we…
  • This thread kicks ass. Looking at the number of responses, I assumed it was started a couple years ago. Just had my mind blown by Thes' posts and I tried to convey it to my wife. "Wow I just found out why new records sound kinda shitty. So…
  • Wow...I just found this record last Saturday but it was sleeveless. VG but I've managed to clean it up a bit before I ripped a few songs into Serato. CRAZY GOOD album, and after a couple listens I think I prefer it to the S/T. The rea…
  • I've never seen this record in the field. Not sure what I'd shell out for it at this point either. I do know one thing, however. If your facial expression didn't change the first time you heard those drums drop on "Why Can't People Be…
  • Saw a $35 copy at a store here in Nashville a few months ago, dropped the needle on "Cross Country" just to make sure the sound was as clean as the record looked, and happily took it home. I had NO idea the entire album was so fucking good. "Cross…
  • Records - The Groove (East Nashville), The Great Escape (West Nashville), Lawrence (downtown), maybe even Grimey's (midtown) Bars - PM is my favorite spot here in town. I go at least once a week for the food and the beer. It's in the Belmon…
  • I'm on little-dude status, but I was wondering who else on the Strut had a copy of this. Not much info on the net. http://oi51.tinypic.com/2efjrmf.jpg Funky soul out of Saginaw. Best 75 cents I've spent in a long time.
  • Pete Rock and CL Smooth - "T.R.O.Y." (although the Tom Scott song gets a pass forever) ATCQ - "Scenario" (the remix is still fair game) MOP - "Ante Up" (especially if your dumb ass plays the remix) Pharoahe Monch - "Simon Says" (especia…
  • Back when I first bought/watched Baraka, there was a rumor that it could be run simultaneously with Radiohead's Kid A. I don't believe that, but I also never tried it.
  • A few pickups from the last couple weeks: Pretty Purdie and The Playboys - Stand By Me (Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get) Warren James and Friends - Floating On A Dark Wind LP (Waja Records...can't find any info besides the scrawl on th…
  • Mongo_Slade said: - I remember seeing somebody hand Joe a reel-to-reel of a brand new record and watching him use a razor blade and tape to edit the curses in the space of like 15 minutes while doing all the regular stuff he had to do-- playing r…
  • I might be wrong, but isn't the +/- 8 referring to a *percentage* of the increase/decrease? Like if I pitched up a 95 BPM record to +8 then the new BPM would be 102.6 I'm probably wrong, but that was my working assumption. I've never …
  • The other day, I read that "going digging" to Kanye West meant taking a trip to Tower Records and buying up a stack of soul CD's from the 70s. Based on the guy's output over the last five years, I don't doubt that at all. Say what you want about t…
  • No love for the Daly-Wilson Big Band?
  • I've been following Dwele since the debut LP, RIZE (1998). His later output never did much for me, but there are some JAMS on the first joint: Oh and I'm sure the Strut was up on his MJ "Human Nature" tribute last yea…
