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...

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
