  • Texas Strutters... I have to travel to Dallas this week for business BS. I've never been to Texas and want to hit up a proper TX BBQ joint. What's good? If I have time i'd like to try and stop by at least one good record shop. If you only had time …
  • I understand where's the OP is coming from - I find looking through 12s much more exhausting than 45s. I hate having to lift the whole record out to see the label!
  • Hi, I'm the owner of this item (the one you've recently bided on) " I am in a bussines trip for 3 weeks and i want to close the auction earlier because i don't have time for it so please let me know your best price. I`ll provide you 5 days money ba…
  • Warren's store yeah, very nice guy, too... Le Pick Up was/is my fav record store in montreal... some of the off the beaton path places may have better prices, but out of the major stores near Mont Royal, he's the best... Beatnik= the worst, Pri…
  • Sorry to say this buy are you nuts?????!!!! Primitive might have good selection but the prices are insane and the condition isn't always that great.... Where da f*ck to these dudes come off charging $12.99 or $14.99 for hip hop singles???? GTFOHWTBS…
  • Primitive on St. Denis is the best, IMHO.
  • This guy dances to some good tunes! I was just realizing that I need a copy of Hey Sah-Lo-Ney.
  • Thanks for the tips! I don't have to stay anywhere in particular, so I can pick and choose (although now my work is threatening to put it off.. grr). And it sounds like I should get a car... For upscale dining I hear good things about York Street…
  • Just thought I might try one more time with this one, before I let it drop.
  • Heading to Thailand with my gal in February and we're trying to gather any tips or recommendations for our stay. We're flying into Bangkok, so I was thinking of finding us a hotel there and using that as the base for our two week stay, but I'm wonde…
  • I went today - everything is still in boxes, although Aki is working hard, it takes a long time to go through 30k of records!
  • So what's going on with TO record stores? I thought Ric bought L&F, but now it's closed? Then the last time I was in Ric's, it seemed like someone else bought that? What's going on? As I've been told, Ric did take over L&F but within about a…
  • And now Harmony is closed, too? Damn. It wasn't the greatest place, but I bought some stuff there.
  • for young people, there is absolutely nothing like the West End of the city. Good enough in terms of rent, whether sharing a place or not, and simply cannot be beat for lifestyle. I would also suggest the East End as well (specifically Leslieville w…
  • IF IT ROTATES Last week we saw how "the groove" is found in recordings all over the world - it's only natural that you can find it in gospel recordings, too. In fact, since so many secular soul and funk artists came from gospel backgrounds, y…
  • IF IT ROTATES From Italy to Poland to the USA, three examples of the groove that all funk fans are after. The first track is by the Polish band NOL, from their 70s album Breakout on the Muza record label. This is actually a killer LP, with s…
  • When you think of funky music, the first name that comes to mind is definitely not this week's entry... known as the Velvet Fog, it's Mel Torme! Yup, he was a teen idol in the 40s, on Nightcourt in the 80s (remember?) and, it also turns out that…
  • Hope you liked the Ethiopian music, I'm really digging it. This week - Unexpected Reggae Covers! First up - Price Blackman's cover of 'Rapper's Delight', here titled 'Rocker's Delight', in which he lets us know that a good man is a rasta man, and …
  • I feel that courthouse design is often chosen to reflect the building's purpose, but maybe that's just in my head.... the Ottawa courthouse has all these big rocks built into the side of it (and a scultpure of a jury with rocks for heads, incidental…
  • Does anyone have both Mary Lou's Mass and Music for Peace? I think that might solve the mystery.
  • Doesn't seem possible that album was recorded in '64. You sure about that? Yeah, I wasn't sure since I have the Mary records version which says 1974, but then on some discographies I read about Mary Lou's Mass from 1964... but I agree with you in t…
  • I did a Jorge Ben show on my podcast a couple of weeks ago, at If It Rotates. Just scroll down a little bit. Jorge Ben - Ponta de Lanca Africano Claudette Soares - Carolina Carol Bela Jorge Ben & Toquinho - Carolina Carol Bela Nelsinho e sua …
  • I like to drink bourbon straight, no ice. Maker's is a decent bottle to start with, and if you're into it, get this one: Woodford reserve. Great stuff.
  • I read this book to get away from Moby Dick, since I've stalled on finishing it. I'll be able to go back to it now, though. Are you serious? Moby Dick is great! How about where the two captains cross pegs?! Blood Meridian is great too, but not as…
  • Back in the day, that qualified as a true reggae terd (so I don't have it). But I ain't hatin', maybe it sounds better in '07. Everytime I play this record people really like it.
  • I have a version of Betty Wright's Tonight is the Night by Claudette Miller and Conscious Minds that I like a lot... I'll see if I have a soundclip around. Claudette Miller and Conscious Minds - Tonight is the Night (Treasure Isle)

  • Hey all, I'm going to go - my name's Alex, and I'll be wearing a red-striped sweater if it's cold!
