I also love when books are incorporated into the comp as well. I have a stellar Library music comp that also came with a nicely research companion text. . . Nerd.
I was taking a leisurely weekend walk from Sunset Park to Williamsburg and came across a beautiful (for lack of a better term) 'black power' store in Fort Green and they had the book in the window. Spent some time having fun informative w/ the owner. Things I'll miss about Brooklyn. If my experience has taught me anything, purchase anything related to Soul Jazz Recs.
@northguinea I miss all of the black owned book store of Detroit - not so much a hotbed of Black Power / Nationalistic Lit in Louisville - but a decent history of activism.
I'm in whitebread suburbia FL right now, but luckily moving to Gainesville in a few days. Unless something has changed since the last time I was there, outside of the Bo Diddley downtown plaza (where there are concerts, etc), and a large Jamaican restaurant. there wasn't large intellectual working class black community. Now, that I'm older (and presumptuously wiser from my years in Brooklyn), maybe I can find said community. I shall report in a few weeks!
Hahaha - they sound like bluegrass. When I first moved here and was a features reporter for the local NPR station - I was floored that growning up in a family with some serious Southern / back woods Georgia roots and I could not understand a damn thing folks said. It's takes time. It's about 3.5 hours away from Louisville. Lexington is the big city for Eastern KY folks. Louisville is like going north of the Mason Dixon line - where all progressive hellions here.
I have family in WV (I was born there) and grew up in Florigia, and there have been some towns in western NC, eastern TN and eastern KY where even I had a hard time understanding the accent.
I had a longterm gf right when I graduated college from Miami. The night before we took a road trip to WV, I made us watch "Deliverance" (this was 1999). Big mistake. She was petrified most of the time we were in Appalachia at night
It can catch one off guard that's for sure... The dialectical variation in KY is tremendous. I did a decent amount of research on it years back - I have never been to a state with that much variety in accents from town to town and the western, northern central and southern KY regions all sound different.
I was asked to do a hours of playlists for my friend's bar (in Brooklyn) a few months ago on Spotify. I was disappointed "Theme de Yo Yo" wasn't available.
I clearly remember the first time I heard theme dee yo yo - I was actually getting ready to leave my buddy's place, we had said our goodbyes and the song kicked in - I put my stuff back down and was frozen. I asked him to play it two more times - searched for a few solid years until I found a clear OG copy.
First Impressions is a beautiful LP - I think I paid $50 about 10 years back, but there is a reissue (may be a bootleg) that came out about 5 or so years ago. I have that too - I don't always play the origional.
For sure! I used to be very strict about only having an origional LP for certain labels - some of which I played this evening - but I am a teacher... I dig and find stuff for cheap sometimes and have also paid - I can't afford to be quite so picky - I want the music more than the status among likeminded record nerds of having an original.
My pleasure - If I didn't have a 7:30 am meeting I would stay with y'all even longer! Have a great night! I love spinning the jazz LPs for you - Louisville is a lot of things but not really a jazz town. Good night
