    Soul Strut 100: #98 - Donny Hathaway - S/T (1971)

    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 as the self-titled album goes, I'll throw in...

    MLB 2011 THREAD

    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 year and I've done it for the past 4 years.

    does the strut give a damn that d'angelo is back?

    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 Europe and it isn't live stuff I'm caring about.

    NBA '11-12 666

    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 retarded way games are scheduled for national...

    Record Selling problems with Italy?

    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 ever once had anybody have any problems with a...

    R.I.P. Nate Dogg

    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 that "Nate In '08" mix from a while back...

    Online Poker = Work?

    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. Andy Bloch has two electrical engineering...

    Online Poker = Work?

    Records with Holograms (RR)

    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" by Anthrax came with a hologram sticker...

    overrated hip hop artists article in unkut

    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?
