I'll be in New Orleans in two weeks and hope to hit a shop or two while I'm there. Any particular recommendations for shops? Also, for those of you with a knowledge for NOLA history, any particular regional labels/artists that I should look for? Im particularly interested in learning more about the rock n roll and rhythm and blues records that were local to New Orleans. My friend's father in law, a retired editorial writer for the picayune, is a big listener who I'm sure will have some info, but I thought I'd ask the trusty organissimo brain trust.

A recent friend of mine through the local record store is a DJ at a neighborhood bar. He was crazy about Nilsson. I haven't knowingly heard much of his music, and couldn't find a thread here. My impression/assumption is apparently very different from my friend's. What was his deal? Recommendations?

Back when Organissimo was soliciting the forum for tunes to cover, I recommended "Ghetto Walk". There was going to be a covers album at some point. Oh well. I like "unedited-ish"! Ha.

I thought it was cool to like some singers.

Nice DTMX!

Right Lon. They just continue to diffuse/dilute the brand. I have nothing against the music (Norah, Lebowski). Just trying to rationalize. EMI owns quite a few labels right?

What is Blue Note's brand identity? I don't understand why this would go to BN.

Emergency jazz collection kits.

Very cool Jim. Congrats! Organization.

Happy birthday!!

Happy Birthday!

I mean I had no idea it was rare.

Listening now. The splices are pretty apparent to me. I think you meant that the overall composition doesn't have that "put together feel"?

Wow. I had no idea.

Yes. I love the live stuff!

I've had it for years. Just thinking it will be perfect to revisit with the crowd...

I'm having some friends over for my birthday in a couple of weeks. This album just moved to the top of the list.

I maintain that my suggestion of Ran Blake and Jeanne Lee's Newest Sound Around fits the bill perfectly. Is this oop?

I bought a bunch of used records at my local today. They didn't have any of the exclusive RSD releases that I was interested in. I'm a regular customer and it was great to see an hour long line for the register for the entire two hours I was there this morning.

Thanks!!!

Big fan of corny pornography. Especially the kitsch, good stuff.

Is that a compliment?

Wow. I had no idea what I was missing by not clicking on this thread ever. I love it in here.

I think corny is a you know it when you see it sort of thing.

That part was funny.
