Serious big-ol' respect. What a loss. I was listening to him jam on a record last week. I assume I should probably pour a martini. . . in a glass tall enough to *dance* with.

Damn. What a loss.

Nice finds y'all. Willie Frugal -- what is that woman putting in Kurt Weill's pipe? I cheer for Ken Boothe & Shirley Scott. That disco soccer looks rough! Hap palmer shows up all the time around here -- but I think he was local and sprinkle…

Shoes? Shoes at work? I gave up shoes entirely unless it's raining then I'll rock the crocs. I guess I do have some canvas thrift store beaters to rock for official occasions.

Tenure, as of yesterday. *ding*

Grafwritah, this is not a Margarita. These monsters are serious. This is the inside lid of my compost bin. Approximately 2 feet across for scale. They will clean off thrift store records as well if not better than a VPI.

Respect to those of you struggling w/ local fauna. When I lived in NY we grappled w/ some monster squirrels. Here in California the 2009 battles have been against slugs & snails over our gardens. I'm not joking, but out here in the redwoods…

Earl Palmer's biography gives some attention to N.O. R & B for the first third or so. Also Michael P. Smith's New Orleans Jazz Fest a pictorial history. Enough rad photos to tackle a bear.

Billy Larkin . . . so nice. Also some unpictured 12"s and more donald byrd. Props to all the sweet finds this week. I'm blown away by some of those records. Hopefully y'all are posted up with goat cheese (humboldt fog lights), tapenade, Racer…

Solo roadtrip -- Humboldt to Las Vegas. Digging along the way. I bought one record for ten bucks, paid five each for a couple in a Vegas antique store, but other than that, I basically paid twenty five cents per record. Not that I won???t pay mo…

In Hunter S. Thompson's Hell's Angels he describes the Angel's business card style. He notes that for people who were outlaws, who had to stay out of the reach of law while still being able to be found by your people cards made a handy method of ke…

I thought of the DK's the other day while y'all were discussing the new dangermouse download/blank cd strategy. Dead Kennedy's In god we trust (inc) had a blank side on the cassette. It said something like: "home taping is killing the record indu…

Friday, I dug some antique and thrift stores in our funky lil' town. No real luck until one of the clerks at a local antique store agreed to let me peek at his collection. Smooth eighties star. I upgraded vinyl, picked up a few guilty pleasures, …

I get yer distinction. What do we call the two emcees w/ different tracks @ the same time. Panned L/R? Latyrx "Latyrx: last chance to comprehend"
-
Nice connect. I like her style -- and the photo w/ two characters breaking up Indie . . . maybe 8 down is rad.

Tuesday morning. Eight a.m. automobile repair. Hours of waiting and the rough price tag. Thrift store next door with 12 records for a buck -- a necessary antidote. Honestly, the price tag might be steep. This place is the record location that…

End of the week - brought home some piles of spoken word, foreign, funky, jazzy and simply weird from the library. Most were covered with a bulletproof plastic cover, and hardly played. Here is a shot of some spoken word high lights. Literature: …

Nothing like a person with 12 posts telling the list owner what to do. But whatever. I deeply sympathize with your situation Raj. I'm sorry to hear about the hassle and neighbor woes. For those who are recommending that Raj get another dog, …

I liked kitchenknight's response above. Three reflections on this subject: 1. Casual opportunities for brutality. Internet bulletin board chatter about sports seems to emphasize insult-heavy ???in-your-face??? smack downs. These attacks seem bot…

It's a label I'm recently hipped to. This article is kinda cool. Owned by chemical company BASF, MPS made some sweet piano records (among others) from a rural German village. Says they made 700+ records, and that the piano sound was particularly …

I like Ballin' Jack. It was an early discovery while I was nibbling around the edges of funk. I found Buzzard Luck/Can't kill nuthin' nuthin' will die. The cover was intriguing, with the big ol' buzzard grin. But the back was a photo of the ba…

Cyprus Grove Humboldt Fog This stuff is like crack. They have another one called Truffle Tremor (with truffle oil and small pieces of black truffle) that is incredible. I second the vote on the Cyprus Grove. You pretty much can't go wrong with…

I ride a 1990 black Gary Fisher mountain bike. I've raced, crashed (including a nice one that required cosmetic surgery to sew my lip back together), and dug for quite a few records with this bike. In my mild northern california climate, I can r…

I'll go one further and stand for the "cleaned up" Shaun of Black Grape. Bez contributing, breakbeats and Kermit/Shaun scatting (in the scatological sense in a few cases). I liked it and played it.

There is something to be said about Djing what yer good at. Absolute dance winners should be legit no matter what. Also like the idea of at least checking out their ipods. But inevitably, you'll get the handful of focused musical fanatics at th…

Pickwick33 No doubt. That's what makes it so sad to me. Waylon is sad about women, but you mess with *music* and . . . listen to his voice quaver on that tune. Sure he is angry, but it sounds more like resignation to me. A man out of time or som…

Although not classic country, Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen do some sad tunes. "Seeds and stems" is a Vermont to Humboldt favorite. "Wine do your stuff," is another baller (in the sadness sense, not in the basketball sense . . . perhap…

I had like ninety minutes today. The full jam out of some out-of-season Wednesday berries. Store one: flipping stuff I'm bored with. results: Solomon Burke - greatest hits CJ Chenier - let me in your heart Albert Collins - Frostbite Sonny Terry …

Living in the Humboldt rainforest means mold as a condition of life. Digging here means discovering good records in trashed sleeves. I've left Tjader, Coltrane, Black Ivory, and many more at tag sales because the condition was so bad. But a few …
