    So I will be in LA for a week starting today. I am a food nerd like you won't believe. I do not get down with trendy foodie bullshit. Antony Bourdain is more my speed ie cheap ethnic eats but get down with haute cusine when the food is up to snuff with the price. What are ESSENTIAL eats that I...

    Quitting Alcohol

    Anyone ever done it for a significant amount of time ? I am going on 4+ months now and it's amazing the difference it makes in all areas of your life. Esp as someone who was used to drinking 3-5 times a week on a social level.

    Anyone buying their records ? Oh and for those haters who don't like edits, or remixes of afro latin classics, stay out of this lane. This a thread for recommendations and such. These two I've noticed get the dancefloor moving. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFQuKdhs7vo&feature=related...

    Listen to the New Prince Album

    Verdict : not amazing but not tepid at all. Dude's actually back to sounding engaged and writing songs again. Overall very mid 80's sounding which is a good thing. http://www.jushustle.com/blog/2010/07/prince-20ten-leak-listen-to-the-album/

    Songs that sound similar to that Frank Wilson trak

    So, I was hoping to get some Strut knowledge on what tracks sound similar to that Frank Wilson joint (Do I Love You, Indeed I Do).
