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...

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

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
