Just wondering if anyone else was familiar with him or his work? He has a new album coming out in October that he raised money for on Kickstarter as his project independent. I've been a huge fan since I first became aware of him from The Roots cover of his song "The Seed" (The Roots version being "The Seed 2.0").

I also knew he had came out with an independent album back around 2002 entitled "The Headphone Masterpiece," which was incredibly unique as he recorded it in his bedroom on a four-track cassette recorder IIRC. Very lo-fi, but very organic sound. I just don't know how he isn't any bigger than what he is... His lyrics are poignant, he can play the strings off of a guitar and is an excellent multi-instrumentalist, AND he reminds me a lot of Hendrix in some ways.

The amazing thing is, despite his non-major backing and mainstream coverage, he has carved out a nice little following from his live shows and from some forms of media picking up on his amazing music. For example, one of his songs was used in an Axe commercial a few years back and a few others have been featured in movie soundtracks. This upcoming album, "Landing On A Hundred," is coming out almost a full ten years after "The Headphone Masterpiece." It just shows you how jacked up the music/entertainment industry is now that guys like this aren't bigger than what they are.

Anyway, if you haven't heard his stuff, you should check it out... I was always a rap fan first but enjoyed all types of music, but now with three kids, I've seemed to mellow out more and more over the years, lol (although the iPod is still full of my hardcore stuff). But, the more I delved into Headphone Masterpiece, the more and more I liked it, and got it... It's been on heavy rotation lately again...

Thanks for baring with me and hopefully someone will enjoy it.

"Look Good In Leather" was the one featured in an Axe commercial...

      Updated 2025 draft order

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
