10 most important moments in soulstrut history?

[SoulOnIce]

definitely big parts of soulstrut history...

- Bean dip offa Stark, son.

I would say we need to save THIS THREAD as a remedy
for whenever people talk about the "good old days" of the Strut -
despite the comedy of bean dip, I think it shows the board has come a
looooooong way.

Highlights:

one guy wants to buy all the Herb Alpert records and burn them
so nobody will see them in thrift stores anymore.

another guy defends Herb Alpert because he "found an open kick
& snare" on whipped cream & other delights.

someone else wants to buy "it's becasue i'm black" (?) by Syl
Johnson and a copy of Skull Snaps that he would sample and then
sell for "$1000"

yet another guy says "it's becasue i'm black" isn't a very good
album except for the title track and thank god he only bought the repress.


so basically soul strut 2002 reads like thebreaks.com 2006

That's still a step up from the-breaks. What happened to Kojack and Chase Crusher? And who did dreidel menorah become?

Kojack is alive and well. I saw him yesterday at Aaron Money's engagement (!!!) party.
He's steady gettin' his school + lurk on.

Chase Crusher = now just Chase on the board.

To the dude that asked about mingering mike.... it's a LONG story, and yeah, it really is interesting. You could google it though and find out all about him.

Okay, I remember reading about that guys stuff in a newspaper. So which strutter posted his work? What happened then?

As I understand it, Secret Chimp first posted it up, then he and Fatback went back to obtain more MM items. The finds were picked up by outsider art fans and communities and created a buzz online. The NY Times later did an article on it. I don't know the chronology very well, but at some point Chimp and Fatback tracked down Mike and got him involved in displaying the art in galleries. Dori (aka Secret Chimp) has been working on a Mingering Mike book, as well as releasing original Mingering Mike reel to reel recordings (hopefully through another strutter's label).

That's the highly condensed version and I'm sure I missed something.

le toupt was great, but when Iron Monkey made those fake le toupt posts about his bike, etc. those had me crying they were so funny.

hell yeah!

The disappearance of the UK contingent.

Not top ten, I guess......but our Brillo nights were borne out of 3 Strutters getting together - not 3 Vultures.....in the first instance, anyhow.

I'd have to echo the sentiment that LET A HEATROCK LOOSE is #1.

Even though I didn't make a track, I did enjoy the "Sayer Beat-off" or whatever it was called. Phill Most killed it if I remember correctly.

 

[Swayze]

there never was another beat off was there?

someone should set it off.

Didn't somebody pull the newbie card on you or your partner Amir (david_wingate) when you started posting here too? People are too quick with the cute attitude sometimes.

Bean dip offa Stark, son.

Wow, when did reynaldo switch from this relative verbosity to his current deadpan one-syllabisms?

Never that, son - beandip is classic, I know.

Just having a little fun with the old threads.

There was another beat off for Whipped Cream And Other Delights. It was good.

 

[HAZBEEN]

"I pay to post here" & the subsequent banning was a pretty big moment.
