  • My favorite Hathaway album is probably the aforementioned live album... I mean, this song alone blew my head off the first time I heard it: Just the emotion in his voice, it made the feeling of jealousy palpable to me. As far …
  • Just curious but are we doing the damn thing again this year, or has interest dropped off too much? Because I'm definitely wanting to play again if we do it. I know shit's slow around here and all but damn. I look forward to playing this each yea…
  • I'll care once there's some new studio tracks to listen to. A bunch of low quality YouTube videos from European shows doesn't get me that excited. Yeah, if you're a D'Angelo fan it's good that he's doing *anything* at this point, but I'm not in Eu…
  • You know, I like to consider myself a Pacers fan... I was born in Indy, my parents used to go to Pacers games back in the ABA days, Reggie Miller is one of my favorite players of all time, and I even have a Pacers hat. However, thanks to the retar…
  • Back when I used to sell records on eBay I only ever had one complaint from a buyer -- from Italy. It's the only time I ever had a record break in the mail. I packed my records really good in LP mailers with cardboard pads on either side and never…
  • Suckage... Can't say I'm totally surprised since he's had health issues the past few years and there were rumors he'd died a while back, but still.... RIP, Nate. So many good hooks and good songs. I guess it's apropos to post a link to…
  • vintageinfants said:i guess it's all full up, because i got this: "There was a problem You are not allowed to view this page because you are not in this league. (Error #152)" Nah, there's still 2 spots available...I think the problem…
  • I'm not saying you have to be super intelligent to play poker and do well at it, but I also don't think it's a coincidence that a lot of the top players have impressive educational backgrounds. Chris Ferguson has a PhD in Computer Science from UCLA…
  • Junior said:highscheme said: you need to be extremely intelligent to make it to the top. I personally don't see how Intelligence has anything to do with it. It's a game based on intuition, learning patterns and a fair degree of luck. Just like…
  • vintageinfants said: the reds and cardinals will be battling for the NL central in what may turn out to be the biggest rivalry of the year. Don't overlook the Brewers...and I say this as a Reds fan. The Cards are essent…
  • This is being completely anal and nitpicky, but some of those are lenticular images, not holograms. The Prince album is a hologram. That Rolling Stones cover is a lenticular. It wasn't an album cover, but I remember "State Of Euphoria…

  • For vintage stuff, this one's pretty nasty. It's a Jackie Wilson/Lavern Baker outtake: And here's some nice x-rated country courtesy of David Allan Coe:
  • A couple days ago I was gonna ask about whether or not we were doing the league again this year, and like some psychic ish I got the return invite in the mail. Let's do this! Last place here I come!
  • I like to think I'm pretty on top of music and keep up on newer artists and all... but who the hell is Freddie Gibbs? And is whoever wrote that not aware that Pimp C is dead and Bun B really doesn't have much choice in the matter these days?
  • Absolutely one of my favorite Withers tracks and definitely not one you're going to see on most of the greatest hits albums. Jose Feliciano on guitar! This is from Withers' final album on Sussex, +Justments, and the album has never been relea…
  • At least on a production level, I respect the dude immensely. He played a major part in developing and popularizing reel-to-reel tape recording. Also pioneered close-miking of vocals. I grew up listening to a handful of his audio books for childr…
  • Anyone know who the dude in the video is? Harry Weinger, you mean? He has done extensive work over the years, dealing with tape libraries, liner notes, and research with PolyGram, now Universal. His name will usually pop up on various compilation…
  • Divshare won't embed anymore?
  • You want some stuff that the kids are listening to but isn't on top of the Billboard pop charts or whatever, because like somebody else mentioned, with the internet these days there are groups who become popular with teens without necessarily making…
  • I'm not going to go overboard and claim that MMJ are a soul band. However, they do clearly have an appreciation for a lot of older soul/funk and play covers of classic soul songs in their live shows. For instance, these tracks are from their New Y…
  • Has any rock bands rocked auto tune yet? Rock bands (and country artists for that matter) were rocking AutoTune years ago...only, back then they were using it for its intended purpose, keeping vocals in key and with proper pitch, not the crazy robo…
  • What? No Donatella Versace? I think that's her on the right.

  • Zapp & Roger - Slow & Easy
  • Anyone have an instrumental of "Boom Biddy Bye Bye"? I forgot how much I liked this beat! : I'll check my stacks and see if I do. That was one of my favorite tracks so if the instrumental was on any 12" singles at the time I might have it. I'll …
  • Hmmm... I'm gonna have to stand up for their third album here since nobody else seems to give it any props. I'm not saying the whole thing was classic from top to bottom, but there were a handful of tracks on there I thought were killer. I just l…
  • Wow, I've never heard that clip before either. According to this allaboutjazz forum thread At a concert in 1967, a rowdy audience got to Freddies nerves and he completely broke down in front of the crowd. This is what he said: (Things in brackets…
  • Just the other week I snagged a used copy of the book "The House That Trane Built: The Story Of Impulse Records" and there's naturally a good amount about Freddie Hubbard in there. Just last week I was noting to myself, "man, for a guy who's been …
  • i dont care what anybody says... kc & the sunshine band are the shiiiit ! I'm sure somebody will disagree, but compared to most disco, KC's records were pretty raw! KC & The Sunshine Band weren't even disco when they started. The danc…
