Just caught this piece about Darondo on NPR...Justin Torres is a record nut, the kind who combs through stacks of dusty LPs looking for obscure gems. Torres told Chris Roose that he became obsessed with finding an R&B crooner named Daron "Darondo" Pulliam. Darondo wasn't just a forgotten singer -- the man had apparently disappeared.

    Justin,

    Saw that via Studio 360's mailing list. AWESOME. How'd they contact you to begin with? Via Ubiquity?

    Who's going to see D in Costa Mesa on the 31st? I might have to dip out of my aunt's wedding banquet to see this.
