    @BobDobalina I never hear this album brought up anymore, this was such a fun concept album. I really loved it at the time, a real throwback to the Tribe/De La Soul early 90s era.

    Hope you're well dude, long time! I still remember that fun night we had out like a decade ago in Brooklyn. What show was that, Samiyam?

    Cheers M8, I remember that well(ish)!  Your mixes (and the successes thereof) are def a happy! I think it was Daedelus headlining tho  Samiyam was probably on the bill, very brainfeedery iirc.  Got to meet Daedelus at his merch table and had an actual normal convo with him which was cool (except the part when he tried to dissuade me from buying something lol), then my poor friend was a mess and we had to bail before even getting to see him perform.  Drinks with you & yr lady beforehand were cool tho! 

    And yea still love what these guys brought, UD and PUTS been kept yer mans in grin mode for more than a minute now, good ol' hiphop done right.  Absolutely gutted at the passing of Mike Double K Turner.  He & Thes were the total package

    Have you heard the "Zomba edition" leaked promo?  It includes "with my baby" as track 3 and a fair number of samples throughout that they couldn't clear to be on the final album.  I like it much better than the official version, and had hoped it would be on the deluxe reissue.

    Indeed I have, though thank you for the reminder that this exists!  The omitted track is good in and of itself, I might have listened to this version once or twice but still go back to the original since it's the one I fell in love with back in the days where available music was a finite commodity.  This of course having been ingested and imbued through subjective experience; not sure but I believe this is the part of the response where I type "YMMV": YMMV.

    damn Bob...bringin your A game today I see. well played tying this into the fungibles. I'd recommend you get this posted onto the blockchain stat, start earning some coin for your zen like effort here. talk to Elon about exchanging them for skee ball tokens, so you can actually do something with your earnings.

    Thanks, gonna fire up winamp and pretend madonna is still relevant, then maybe draw an picture of her listening intently to the 180g repress in an ostentatious home hifi room decorated with nothing but monochrome dick pics.  +100 XP bois!

    can't say i'm thrilled about all those remixes. reminds me of the endtroducing 20 year set, most of those turned out to be wank.

    Most of this anniversary rehash cottage industry is TBH.

    Perhaps only in the perceived reality in which this self (or bot, I'm your brony, jabroni) exists, the recording Since I Left You is perfect as-is.  Be it residing within the pits and lands of a compact disc purchased long ago and sitting on my shelf, untouched for years having long been extracted for its PCM data, or through perceived free will, selected as aural input for my conscious self, triggering - as anticipated, perhaps self-fulfillingly - neurons and axons to glow and flicker in some region of the electromagnetic spectrum who knows where (probably people who study the human brain, that's who).  Ensuing feels of mild euphoria, nostalgia for moments in the naughts that may or may not have happened, amber-soaked and preserved in layers of collective unconscious cultural references reflected upon those of my perceived self, and for non-discrete moments on end this assemblage oscillates between the only and the nonexistent, like virtual particles in an unfathomable void of space-time.  Then as it should, our nonfungible nonentity can be retired to archive on the "shelf" external to oneself (itself a heavily modified context-specific "other"), to be objectified and discuss at will (ha!) or more likely happenstance (no time like the present right?).  And yet this beautiful abstraction, which has not physical form per se, nonetheless requires physical representation to exist.  Perhaps we, our minds, are the real NFTs.

  4. mmm Nikitaventures: from Milan to Minsk is a personal favourite

    Super-Mario-Bros.-4.5oz-NES-Cartridge-Fl

    When spoken out loud, is it Mario "Brothers" or Mario "Bros" (as in broskis)?  I have an important dinner party with a potential client (same night as my son's bassoon octet recital no less) and want to avoid any faux pas since it might come up in conversation.

    Whenever you see the word “precious” in any text, does the voice inside your head momentarily switch to Gollum voice? Mine does. 

    I always think of the Eric Andre show where Hannibal is chubbing up to play the title character in "Precious 2: Precious with a Dick"

    That article got most of it right except for the part about an NFT being a way to purchase digital art. It’s not the art you pay for. It’s the actual transaction that people are placing value on. It’s set up in a way that the right to conduct a specific transaction is sold and the act of being able to make the transaction is immutable.

     

    The analog world equivalent would be a room of people bidding for the right to place their name in a book with a record of the date, time, amount, and the counter party they paid for the right to sign the book. They hand over the money, sign it, write the time, amount, and the counter party signs that they agree to forfeit their claim to the transaction. The record of the transaction is now owned by that bidder. Anyone in the world can now look at the permanent ledger and see that specific transaction actually took place and the record will never change.

     

    The person who owns the record of that contract may wish to sell it in the future. The record of that contract can be constructed in a way that each resale pays the originator of the record a royalty. There are other spins on it but that’s the gist.

     

    It is being pitched as a way for an artist to show the provenance of their work. They create the opportunity to conduct a scare number of specific transactions and say that those transactions represent some notion of originality. It’s all about perception. If everyone agrees that the trade of opportunities to conduct transactions in an immutable ledger is valuable and represents the things they are supposed to symbolize, then it does.

     

    Danke for the concise distillation m8

     

    I still think they're nada butt tulip futures, but hey prove me wrong kids, prove me wrong

  7. So it has come to light that the penultimate track is the instrumental of this 'ere joint :music: I love how the beat is partly constructed of respliced negatives taken from the ubiquitous think break, almost like ghost notes applied to production - Madlib is so damn genius when it comes to stuff like this.

    While this thread's gone state for a minute I've been enjoying this shit outta this album.  Not ready to call it classic but currently filed under "delivers."  A few randos:

    Who's the vocal snippet on One for Quartabe? Sounds like Busta Rhymes but also not. Might need a new pair of socks er psssh get outta here.

    Very rando, but years before this album I'd heard the Duumbiyay sample on a minimal techno joint in an untracklisted A Guy Called Gerald dj set.  I have to imagine it's pretty obscure but does anyone know this track?

    Also, fo' shizzle, dizzle

    frankly, all that scratching was making me itch. it was not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good.

    Goddamn that DJ made my day.  Is that a turntable? Well get on it, it's your turn.  D'ya like scratchin'?? Yeah, watizIT(?)  This disc jockey is FRESHHH.

    I do quite enjoy this longform tangent from A1-D1 from the 'Scom
