Good, we need someone with a bit of street cred (do people still talk about 'street cred or was that five years ago' ?)

Skellers is Street Cred ......

[kernelbogey]

You had me for a moment, there, Alpie!

[french frank]

I think about 40.

40 people or 40 years ago?

I meant 'with it', of course.

But he only played monodically!

(Anyone old enough to remember the EWI??)

Remember?

Remember?

Are those things for real, or does the 1st April posting indicate that are some form of joke? If they exist, how bad (or good) are they?

Of course they are real. How could you doubt it? I have not used one, but have heard one played, though not an Akai model but a Roland, on that occasion.

[Dave2002]

Very curious. Thanks for confirming. I suppose the Ableton thing really was a spoof - or was that also real? I did follow that up, and there seem to be sound files, though not terribly interesting ones. The video was odd too. I suppose it showed how an electronic instrument might be used to attract electronic rats *** !

*** The NT has at least one of these robotic creatures, as used in performances of London Assurance a few years ago. Great fun.

When I see a date like 1978 i lose 10 years at first - ah yes 31 Years Ago !


Street Cred/Credibility. Mostly use by mid/late first wave punks and reggae fans of the time.

It really sends me, daddy-o.

In my late 30s then, I remember being so proud at knowing what it meant!

Is that a euphemism, Lez?

[Dave2002]

I can remember when cool was hot, or vice-versa!
