    New Marvin Gaye tapes unearthed

    DOR said: Curious. Wouldn't this need to be litigated in European courts? Being recorded there and never published would make it an interesting case to see the outcome. I remember Europe has a 50 year Use it or Loose it stipulation, but that's on something that was published. Hopefully the...

    Soul Strut 25. This is the End.

    Been gone from here a while, but I wanted to sign back in if only just to say thanks to Raj and to everyone else who made this such a vibrant place for such a long time through their contributions. I stumbled upon the Strut back in 2002 and it was a real education in more ways than one. After I...

    TAKE THAT SHIT TO THE-BRITS.COM

    Evenin', slags. I trust we're all prevailing? Is there going to be an FF league again this season. There's a wooden spoon I need to retain.

    Mornin', troops. If someone had said to me twenty years ago that Leicester would win the title before LFC won it again, I'd have wept with laughter. If I'm laughing at anything at all tomorrow, it'll be the thought of a packed OT gazing helplessly on as Leicester take the Premiership home with...

    Life Of Pablo thread

    I hear you. The references to Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian would seem to suggest that the tracklisting wasn't the only thing finalised at the 11th hour. The Guardian went to town with their review. Alexis Petridis did about 3000 words on it, but I took one look at the pull quote and thought...

    Life Of Pablo thread

    There's a live rip doing the rounds elsewhere, but I'll sit tight for the mastered version. The MSG show was amazing in a rap-meets-Zoolander kind of way. Judging from some of the video clips people were posting, if you were streaming it, you got the better end of the deal once they sorted the...

    TAKE THAT SHIT TO THE-BRITS.COM

    When I was a teenager, I had quite a bit of time for them. A few of the guys I went to school with were hardcore fans, so I know their stuff up until about '77 pretty well. The first two albums are the more psych-flavoured ones, but that was mainly in that kind of opportunistic...

    Looking For: Mp3s of Lewis Taylor Albums

    What have you got so far, Raj? If Jimster and CBear have come through with Stoned and Lewis II, I can probably cover the rest at some point tomorrow. I also have a folder of b-sides, alternate mixes and sundry other loosies on a drive somewhere, as well as his abandoned Trout Mask Replica cover...

    The Getdown (birth of hiphop/Netflix-R)

    "Hyper-stylised" is Luhrmann's USP, and he's hardly a marginal film-maker, so there's no excuse for anyone to go into this blind. Caveat emptor, and all that. For real, though, if I watch this at all, it'll be so I can at least slag it off from a halfway informed point of view. The hip-hop...
