skel said:This shit is blowing the fuck up. Double page spreads in the tabloids. It is great viewing. Immense fun. I'm at a cafe in Little Tokyo right now and I'm pretty sure this song is some guy's ring tone b/c I keep hearing it every 10 minutes.

dollar_bin said:This thread is definitely in my wheelhouse. I've mostly done movie locations myself, but waxidermy user TheJosephBoys posted this San Francisco Archie Shepp album: With by TheJosephBoys, on Flickr Speaking of jazz, first place I tried to find was the tree...

EXCELLENT. Yeah, I'd love to see a bunch of Bay Area covers and their locations. Did 415 shoot a cover here or am I confusing them with a different Oakland crew?

4YearGraduate said:And actually the missing one huge element, maybe the most important, was Richard Simpson was right up the street.. On the 6200 block? G&M used to be at 6211, which would have been the Macola side of the block. Was that his operation?

BTW, re: rap covers: I only did NWA and DOC. Thought about Warren G - I know the corner - but decided to wait until a future round. Found the photographer and if I could get Warren on the horn, it'd be a definite wrap. I really want to do Cube's "AmeriKKKas Most": I know the corner but can't...

Like People was Eagle Rock? Shit, I'd totally add that for the next round. I figured it was more like Ladera Heights/Culver City. What block did you and DK shoot the OST cover on?

Mind blown re: the Wansel cover location.

DocMcCoy said:This is kind of relevant. There's a strong NYC/Dylan/Billy Joel bias, but even if you've no interest (or assumed you had none) in where the cover shots for dollar-bin classics like 52nd Street and The Stranger were actually taken, this is still an interesting site from the p/o/v of...

serg said:Matthew never did sell me on reggae That whole exchange was HILARIOUS, especially when MA gets testy about the "proto-reggaeton" description.

This seems up the Strut alley... I've been working on a series of small stories about LP covers shot in Los Angeles and one of the ones I looked at was Mandrill's "Just Outside of Town." #1: I didn't realize this was shot in L.A. and I've owned this album for *years*. Then again, the...

hogginthefogg said:As I'm sure many of you have been doing, I've been listening to a lot of Matthew's mixes the past few days. Not only are they immaculately mixed and perfectly sequenced, but they really showcase the breadth of his knowledge. A bunch of a soulful 45s I'll never find, an hour...

That Akers 63 yarder, with crossbar bounce, is one of the sickest things I've seen.

For a supposedly new era of QB friendly policies, there were some AWFUL performances today. Vick and Stafford had 4 and 3 INTs respectively...and they WON. Andrew Luck = mwahahahahahaha. That Saints/Redskin game was much better at the end than it looked to be. Was hoping it...

Things are still too raw for me to do it but it'd be cool to see someone do a "best of Mongo Slade" thread.

So many amazing photos being shared on FB right now. I hope folks don't mind the pic-jacking

Eleven: thanks for checking in. Matthew often spoke about you with such deep reverence and affection, I felt like I knew you even when I didn't know you.

"I learned so much from these two... well beyond just record knowledge... to what it means to be a decent person. It came so natural to them" This. All. Day.

One thought that just hit me...through the years, I would be reminded that Matthew and I were the same age but I always, always, always thought of him as an older dude because he had so much more knowledgable and carried himself "like a grown-up" even when I first met him in the early '90s when...
