Cheers,

It's so busy, there's quite a few different styles crammed in there. Including harddrive laptop skipping and broken beats, a distinction from straight up disco-looped house?

Don't know about the Fourtet connection in general. I'm interested to see where Sa-Ra position themselves in relation to R'n'B, hip-hop, electronica and downbeat though.

six months pass...

worst "show" i've ever been to. paid for presale tickets. go there and have to be subjected to a subpar acid jazz band and then sa ra get on and they're just playing records. FOR THE WHOLE NIGHT! they weren't even playing records. he had a weird midi turntable hooked up to his laptop and was playing boring ass records that i've heard four billion times. i walked up to one of the dude's girlfriends and asked if they were really going to be playing records all night and she said it was listed on the site. fuck that. look at this. it's in the tiniest print hidden in some parentheses. what a fucking scam. first jay dee and now this. what a shitty day.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:42 (twenty years ago)

I know it's corny to say it sounds great when you're high but it sounds great when you're high.

― PAUL HAGGIS, EMOTIONAL TERRORIST (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:23 (twenty years ago)

it does!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:29 (twenty years ago)

considering my complete 180 on this thread topic i am really worried about the album

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:30 (twenty years ago)

Is there actually an album? when?

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:36 (twenty years ago)

whatever it is that Jaxon gave me is awesome - easily one of my favorite new things of the last few years.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:53 (twenty years ago)

i think prince was listening to sa ra in the studio when making 3121

how retardely backwards is that?

― team jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:57 (twenty years ago)

ah he's always fairly up on new r&b folks (albeit not always with the best judgment - ex: Tevin Campbell)

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 6 March 2006 18:50 (twenty years ago)

well i found his myspace tryna hear the e40 single and i kinda liked that keyshia cole rmx on there fine enough! since i never liked sa-ra one bit (like hold on ummm so everyone smirking at neo-soul/broken beat in the 00s ws just waiting for a click of farnsworth bentleys to show up and validate their lives 5 years later?) (and i never liked keyshia cole either, she's a dick!) i wondered if ppl were up on this guy too

the e40 rmx on there is aight as well considering

― rtcotm (mwah), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:11 (twenty years ago)

I was never down on neo-soul!

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:14 (twenty years ago)

and lol @ e 4ever waiting to pounce

― rtcotm (mwah), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:15 (twenty years ago)

yeah haha tbh adaml i first thought of u! mainly cos ur well into hyphy and trackademicks is out of that i think

― rtcotm (mwah), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:17 (twenty years ago)

shouldnt you be getting a $200 haircut somewhere

― ,,,,,,,,,,,, Monday, 6 March 2006 19:20 (twenty years ago)

This is what I am listening to as we speak

Haha! Is this meant for me? I'd be lucky to afford a pack of gum the way my finances are right now.

lol probably... i dunno what ur expecting me to say, "call me a male model again and i'll fucking kill you"? i mean ur info is somewhat dated but i guess that's no surprise

― rtcotm (mwah), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:33 (twenty years ago)

take it outside, ladies

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:35 (twenty years ago)

oh, I see. Never mind.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:36 (twenty years ago)

trackademicks dude is cool, but honestly kinda boring. there's just no surprise. there's really no comparing him and sa ra though.

i did like the e40 beat better than the original.

― team jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:37 (twenty years ago)

ah ok well i can't say i heard a full sa-ra tape anyway but what i heard the few times they came on radio was fairly offensive tbh

there's that myspace, http://www.myspace.com/trackademicks i'm out

― rtcotm (mwah), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:40 (twenty years ago)

Hailing from Alameda, an island located off the coast of Oakland, CA, Trackademicks makes music driven by the same philosophy that made him; mix it up. Born to a Filipino father from the Bay Area and a Black mother from Richmond, VA, his cultural diversity inherently translates itself into the music. “Like California Cuisine, I take ingredients and influences from all over to add to our local tastes and create something appealing to everyone.”

So he's like the Alice Waters of 2006 R&B?

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:44 (twenty years ago)

Only if relys on fresh locally grown samplers and mixing desks.

sa ra is greatness, but it's what i call "fancy trainer" music. like all that benji-b-ified stuff, it requires serious glad rags. you've gotta fancy yourself up to listen to it...i love it, but i don't have the cash to buy the lifestyle.

― cybele (cybele), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:56 (twenty years ago)

oh, and i second the love for ppp and up you an omar. new record's coming out soon...i'm very very excited.

― cybele (cybele), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:58 (twenty years ago)

jaxon likes it!

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:02 (twenty years ago)

is jaxon fancy?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:03 (twenty years ago)

i dress like a hobo fwiw

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:03 (twenty years ago)

me too

it's sad when you realize you don't even have the budget to look indie ! (you know, if you actually wanted to).

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:04 (twenty years ago)

Jaxon strikes me as someone who has one or two pairs of fancy trainers in his industrial living space.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:05 (twenty years ago)

Of course I shouldn't presume.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:05 (twenty years ago)

i bought a new pair of sneakers the other day and i felt like a rich man indeed

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:06 (twenty years ago)

The sneakers I wear on any given day are worth more than everything else I'm wearing combined (even when I layer up). It has been this way since I was nine or so.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:07 (twenty years ago)

This thread is going weird.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:07 (twenty years ago)

Like today, for instance:

Costco shirt bought by wife (gray-like): $10
Calvin Klein jeans bought at Nordstrom Rack (blue): $15
Champion boxer briefs (white): $5
Socks (black): $5
Somewhat-fancy Italian "lifestyle" shoes (black and blue): $80 (I think)

x-post

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:10 (twenty years ago)

If Sa-Ra go to Costco, it's p'bly to buy big vats of maple syrup in which to dunk their stripper friends.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:12 (twenty years ago)

And maybe some CDRs (CDR-ahs).

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:13 (twenty years ago)

Adam you do not dress like a hobo. Hobos don't shop at H&M.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:16 (twenty years ago)

THEY DON'T?

;)

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:19 (twenty years ago)

hey--i'm in the market for some new fancy triners. my kangaroos are way to 2004.

― cybele (cybele), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:32 (twenty years ago)

i've been known to wear some fancy trainers and expensive jeans while driving around in my suv that i park in my downtown loft

― team jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:34 (twenty years ago)

unfortunately that's all true

― team jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:34 (twenty years ago)

oh, and one more thing. SA RA IS NOT NEO-SOUL!!

― team jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:35 (twenty years ago)
