    ...and they tend to be collected by people who aren't record collectors. That Islamic Liturgy record is probably being bid up by people who collect, say, American artifacts of Islam, or maybe they even just want the teachings contained within.

    zzzzzzzz... oh sorry i fell asleep...

    have you actually listened to these pieces kids or are you just riding another dick? is it the pretty pictures that get you all hot for a piece of the folkways record catalog? do you know and/or actually love this type of sound?

    ive heard some great folkways records and have had some of them over the years. but i have had some of those that mr silent has put up and theyre crap. worst pieces of shit ive ever heard! just a waste of record room on the shelf... value doesnt matter to me.

    i know will from showandtellmusic is hot for these records. but hes played stuff at my house that i had that i was like urf! and he had fucking butterflies in his eyes...

    anyway... i guess i just cant appreciate the folkways flavor...

    return to your thread and the pictures... i have to go.

    hater.

    really though, I'd rather listen to a room full of retarded kids singing than most funk 45's, but I'm weird like that.

    why? cause its funny? cause its good music? you can relate to it better? why single out funk 45s and not rap 45s or classical LPs?

    what is it about a room full of retard kids that would make you want to listen to it from beginning to end?

    yet you couldnt listen to a meters or james brown record front to back... you said funk 45s so im using two artists that represent that sound.

    haha! I just picked on funk 45's cause you like 'em!

    Seriously though. I'm a freak. I love my meters record & my Folkways "the sounds of insects" just the same. they are all my special children. I will admit though, not all folkways are good records. I've had many that were just not interesting to me, like sea shanties & shit. not a fan.

    As for "why", I guess I'm not coming at music/records from a "oh, hip-hop is my first love" type thing like many here. I like a lot of weird shit. I have as many 20th Century Classical lp's as Soul lp's & they all get equal play...

    Folkways "the sounds of insects"

    what is it about this record you like? and ill agree with the sea songs... my girl likes some of that shit and i have to painfully listen to it. white people on swashbuckling ships should not be singing songs...

    i just dont get the folkways mystery. maybe i havent heard enough good records on the label but out of those pictures that mr silent put up ive had about 10-15 of those (not a lot but enough to know i dont get a hard-on when i look at those pictures).

    oh well... everyone has different tastes...

    and im not a funk advocate at all. there are some nice pieces out there but id pick up a soul 45 before i picked up a funk one.
