When I was growing up my dad sang a lot of Cab Calloway around the house, but I never knew the source of the songs until decades later, after my Dad was gone. He never explained the songs to me, just sang bits and pieces of them. Also Louis Jordan. They were like musical breadcrumbs, a trail for me to follow. Of course at the time I was only interested in the Ramones, but I picked up on it much later.

My dad used to tell me about his first music teacher, a traveling music teacher that went from town to town in rural Georgia back in the 40s. She traveled with a record player and 78 RPM records. Considering she was probably carrying music cut to shellac in the 30s, I wonder if he heard any music like this back then.

It's telling, but many records in the cheap bins are by people who were not only big but influential as hell. The Who's catalog seems to fetch far less than the Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, for example. I don't think you'd pay much for an old copy of Joni Mitchell LP besides Blue.

It seems Volunteers had a delayed release, because the band refused to release it while RCA Victor challenged some of the lyrics in the title song. The band won their challenge in Sept. '69, per Variety. By early Oct., the album was "upcoming."

Genuine Imitation Life Gazette was being advertised in Feb. '69. So, unless JA had Volunteers ready for issue at the beginning of the year, it appears the Four Seasons started the newspaper trend. See also Thick As a Brick.

The reason, as you might expect, is that the same stocks that brought the accent to Manhattan imposed it on New Orleans" - A.J.

For what it's worth, I found this explanation, which supports what you both are saying: "Krazy's accent is meant to be the "yat" accent of New Orleans, an accent that Krazy's creator would have come into contact with and probably spoke. It sounds a lot like a Brooklyn accent, thanks largely to a very similar blend of ethnicities having settled in the area."

You really should check out the comic, it's an American classic. T.S. Eliot, Willem de Kooning, H.L. Mencken, P.G. Wodehouse and Jack Kerouac were all fans. Readers were mostly baffled but W.R. Hearst was a fan and made sure it stayed in syndication, sometimes against the wishes of local newspaper publishers who said they were getting complaints from readers.

The comic strip is canon, the cartoon is secondary.

I'm going to have to look into this - en.wikipedia.org... - there were many different animated adaptations, from as early as 1919 up into the 60's. But I'm referring to the newspaper strip, which is the "real" Krazy Kat.

It's interesting to me sometimes to see what the bands on a label have in common, how much of a "label vision" there is.

I've thought about that with Yep Roc. I was part of their Completist club for a while. But apart from Nick Lowe, Los Straitjackets, and The Fleshtones, I wasn't crazy about many of their bands.

and, to me, the most varietal label was Reprise.

I purchase regularly from two labels, Marston and Albion. I am a subscriber to the former, which specializes in issues of very old vocal and opera recordings. The latter has a growing catalog of works by or somehow related to Ralph Vaughan Williams. So, kinda not the same as a "house style" or "label vision."

When I wrote for the local alt-weekly down here in NC, I drove two hours to interview a guy who had every Merge release from the very beginning, cassettes, singles, everything. That was 10 years ago. I'm sure he's still at it!

Herriman was a genius with language, it's part of the joy of reading the strip. E.g. "There is a heppy land, fur fur away" or "A meddil, emblim of honna, simbil of integiddy, mokk of estimm, and glory…" I just found this nice article about Herriman's use of language, comparing him with Edmund Spenser artduckomagazine.wordpress.com...

I guess you could say a lot of labels do have personalities. Sarah, Flying Nun, and Yep Roc certainly did/do. A contemporary label that has a very strong identity is Ghost Box.

Wikipedia says (in the "New Orleans English" article): "The main character of the cartoon strip Krazy Kat spoke in a slightly exaggerated phonetically-rendered version of early-20th century Yat; friends of the New Orleans-born cartoonist George Herriman recalled that he spoke with many of the same distinctive pronunciations."

Apparently, I'd rather talk about Krazy Kat all day than buckle down and get to work. But that won't pay the bills (sadly)...
  11:40am

4AD is a great example of said diversity (Cocteau Twins, but Mojave 3...) that nevertheless presents itself as a Venn diagram. CT and M3 overlap on the margins. Factory, of course.
