Here's a recap of the request threads that've gone on in the T.R.O.Y forum so far: There is an official request thread and then there’s the weekly threads, so if you've been missin' out, you might want to review the last more than a year's worth of weekly request threads (whether to dig for rare and exclusive gems or to remind you of everything else you are still looking for):

Mr. Philaflava, Jason Gloss, began exploring the concept of weekly request threads around the time the T.R.O.Y. blog started up, creating the first eight threads. That then switched to Jaz at the start of last year who held it down through the twenty first one (with Verge actually creating the twentieth one). Since then Odnet has been runnin' things. I couldn't even begin to list all the contributors.
Start checkin' it out when you have the time, there's no way that you won't find something that you both enjoy and haven't heard before. Stop by and ask for the impossible (I know I have and it's actually worked for me more than once) or try to help out if you think you can contribute. You'll be surprised by what you can find.

Jason Gloss is a disgrace to the entire fucking race.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff, Big S. I haven't been on the request forums that much actually, I'll have to check them out more often.
ReplyDelete^ Huh?
ReplyDeleteThanks man, good lookin' out. Yeah, part of what made me join the Philaflava forums in the first place was contributing in the T.R.O.Y. request threads. I also got some material I had been searching for for years that way.
ReplyDeletePlus I figured instead of having to scour the forums for them, we could just have 'em all in one spot.
And I might be the only one but I've actually gone back through those threads.
as someone who has purchased vinyl for years, worked in the industry and just stumbled across this blog by accident this blog and the genuine heads behind this have really brought back so many memories and of course some of the most hard to find obscure tracks that for the most part are not even buyable are found throughout the forum any disses ususally are unfounded and like fucking blog haters in the comments sections fucks not only can you see the bottom of my tims and never show up at any events and talk shit they make no fucking sense so thank you again big sleep keep and all ya'll heads that keep diggin and bein a vinyl miner beat head golden era champion makin power moves and keep on'
ReplyDeleteThanks man, it's always good to hear from a fellow supporter. Peace.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot TBS.
ReplyDeleteFirst comment was ACTHEPD. Like clockwork.
ReplyDeleteNo problem Jaz.
ReplyDeleteTremendous post, Big Sleep. I'm gonna have to revisit all of those threads in the near future.
ReplyDeleteAll yall can eat some a pee pee you fucking philaflava bitches
ReplyDeleteIgnore the haters.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy I found this blog. Breathing life into the underground.
These artists are reaching a brand new audience when they would otherwise be a thing of the past.
Agreed.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks Roy Johnson. Yeah, I'm still discovering more myself.
That soundwave artwork at the top of this post is amazing. Where was it? MOMA?
ReplyDeleteI thought it seemed fitting.
ReplyDeleteThis picture was taken at The Museum of Art and Design. (Sound Wave was created by Jean Shin in 2007, the following year it was showcased in the exhibit Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary.)
There are some more pictures and some additional info on the artist's / sculptor's website:

Good question, thanks for asking.
I just registered and it said it could take up to 4 weeks for approval. What the... .
