I got super lucky being in California and went to a lot of shows in SF and LA. At one point I was so deep into Dilla and started rubbing shoulders with Flying Lotus and his friends...I even hung out in Japan in 09 with a lot famous beat makers who were Dillla inspired you might have heard of Ras G and Dibiase? If not check their stuff out Dibiase really carried on that Dilla vibe for sure
Also really cool to see a Dilla person who plays a bit of sim racing

I've had a problem with my gaming pc since I got it where the mouse had erratic movements and the keyboard would only work on bluetooth. The two usb ports for both of them were in the back. I started to wonder if I plugged something into the one front usb port if it would work better and it did so I ordered a hub. This fixed both issues and now the mouse and keyboard work correctly. But I still wonder why those rear ports do not work. Why are they there if you can't use them?

It's not, but funny thing about that. I bought that particular record because the original I purchased years ago went missing. In doing some post-Milton cleanup,...
...I found my original record mixed deep in my mother's collection! How it ended up between Dexter Gordon and Skyy, I have no idea.
I also found my old copy of Shades of Blue by Madlib, which I genuinely thought was gone for eternity.
Of course, I don't really need 2 copies of Donuts, so I ended up bringing the Donut Shop variant to my local record store and used it to partially buy 4 more albums....
Operation Doomsday I already have the CD for, so I figured it'd be a bonus to get the full vinyl. Pinata was one I weirdly don't see too often, and it's one of my favorite albums by both Madlib and Freddie Gibbs, so that was an easy pick. Ruff Draft was just...there, admittedly, and the Mal Waldron album was actually recommended to me by an employee of the store who really likes jazz, so I decided to pick his brain a little.

Mm Food is getting an Anniversary release. Gasdrawls has got a very sweet looking picture disc variant up which at the moment is sold out. I already have a decent pressing so I didn’t feel the need to double dip. It also comes with a 7” of Kookies too.
Also Shades of Blue is insanely good.

That’s my local wax dealer.

This was a reasonable deal I would say, got all of them too except the Waldron record.
I also thought about selling my first pressing of Donuts as I also have the 45 Version, but couldn’t do it as of yet😅
Can I ask how much you did get for it?
Don’t have anything from Waldron yet as I’m still discovering jazz for myself, can you recommend it?
And here’s my Dilla Collection (Part of it😅):
If you are interested, I also created a Dilla Livery for the VW Bus a while ago, just type in #dilla in the Tag section if you wanna search for it.
Here some scapes:

So, my local shop was extremely nice to me, for reasons I don't understand honestly. Since I never opened it, they just applied the original purchase price to the total of the new ones I bought, which was ~$25, even though I purchased it this past January. Considering that everything was roughly $100, I did not complain about it.

As I'm sure you know, that is a uniquely difficult record to get hands on, so I am quite jealous of that pickup. I also haven't listened to the Mal Waldron record (largely because the all-in-one record player I own is on its last legs, and I've been kinda lazy about replacing it), so I can't comment on it just yet. However, the same employee did recommend Trio 64 by Bill Evans on my last visit, and that one is very, very good indeed.
Also, what's the middle Dilla album? I'm sad to say that don't recognize the artwork there.
If I played GT7, I absolutely would. The design is lovely, regardless.

The price is going down very significantly due to the discovery in Italy of a few thousand copies sealed (PAL GB version) in an abandoned warehouse of 505 Games. Some say these copies were the one's destined to England before the game got banned...
But still a bit expensive...
You can find these copies for sale on Ebay and Vinted (that I know of)...
The game story is quite good actually, but the ingame mechanics... Oh boy!!

Here's another addiction to my Gran Turismo personal collection:
Finally! A copy of GT3
But I had some serious luck this time though, the guy at the store told me he received like 4 or 5 copies of GT3 just yesterday at 5 pm, and before closing up the shop at 8 pm, he sold all but one of those copies!
I went there today and was lucky enough to buy the last one available... for only 5€.
Apparently there's still some big market for these PS2 classics, they just fly off the shelves.

More UHD’s
The Cell (also “The Fall” is supposed to be coming at some point but under another label. Can’t wait for that one)
Demolition Man. We’ve only just got the Blu-ray of this (£6 wasn’t too bad) so looking forward to the UHD version.

A new addition to the “bass collection” had a fun filled couple of hours trying to get to Warwick without running foul of HS2 construction which did include a bit of the M40. Much better coming home… I resorted to the M40 from Banbury (not a fan of motorways). Trying to figure out what the two toggle switches do!

ah sorry, I automatically assumed you were playing GT7, I sometimes forget that this site is not just about this one game😅So, my local shop was extremely nice to me, for reasons I don't understand honestly.

But thanks for the compliment👍, wasn’t as easy as I thought to replicate this cover, but it turned out to be better as I thought It would be
Oh it was still sealed?😮
I looked it up on discogs and most records for sale are partly way under 100$, so not a bad deal I would say.
But as mine isn’t sealed, the collector in me wins and I will probably keep it then😅, won’t sell it for less than 100.
I actually wasn’t aware that it was That rare😀, I just knew it wasn’t available for such a long time as it is an Unofficial Release.gr
But I really love that record, it has this 90s soulful Dilla vibe, and for that Busta Whoo-Ha Rmx alone it’s worth it!🔥
The record in the middle is the „Trucks“ 12“ from the Diary album, banger track (and actually fits the theme here😎).
And thanks for the recommendation, just know some few Song of Evans, will check that out👌

Went to Armageddon Expo over the weekend, and discovered a hall they had that was dedicated to buying retro games.
Scored a bunch of titles for the physical collection, plus another for the Gran Turismo collection!
I don't even have an Xbox, but Rallisport is super nostalgic for me so I had to grab a copy.

Its so sick seeing Dilla heads who actually made a Dilla livery. I started to go down that road early in gtsport days, but never got around to making anything
Here’s some of my Dilla memorabilia...the poster was signed by both madlib and jay dee, kinda hard to see Dilla's signature

Seems like you would fit in brilliantly with us over in the EA WRC threads
👍Rallisport Challenge and RS2 were my jam when I was a kid. They both had Andros Trophy Ice Racing which really surprised me as I used to like watching that when it was on Eurosport (UK and EU cable sports channel) Rally Fusion was great fun too, As I loved the ROC when it was at its peak in Gran Canaria and then a bit later in the stadiums.
My recent purchases...
Great deal on this PC case, Was after a Be Quiet! 500 FX but thanks to the sale managed to go a bit better.
and ofcourse... Even though I played it all those years ago. I couldn't resist

I have the Game of the Year Edition for PS3 which I've bought and played many years ago... and it was such a pleasant surprise, a brilliant game in every way, the immersion, the story, even the graphics... it's no wonder the game won so many awards back then.
I highly recommend it to everyone 👍
This PC port though, I know nothing about it, don't know if it's any good.
If only I had a decent PC to try it out... my laptop is begging for a retirement 😅
I just hope Rockstar did a better job with this RDR port than what they did with the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition, that was such a rushed out abomination!
RDR deserves a lot better.

I managed to squeeze in an hour or so the other night. I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in more when I get the chance.
It does seem very much a straight up port and not a remaster or "Enhanced for PC" release. They have implemented loads of PC settings and options though which is great.
The lighting is especially beautiful, The trip with Jake to Fort Mercer at the start of the game was gorgeous. I'll post a screenshot when I get back on.
