Incidentally I was thinking about your & Salv's posts the other night... I have to say actually, as for "gansta", I actually agree with you. I even said so myself not long ago, with what Rap's become, far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't mind if it dropped off the face of the earth altogether...
(Course I could've agreed with you even more before rap devolved from an art form into "gangsta" stuff... :eusa_doh: ) but I'll say it anyway, just because: Go Salv! :eusa_clap
Maybe you know this - there's a jazz-hiphop fusion trumpet artist recorded an instrumental CD around 2000 - 2002...
Great, and the Blue Note equivalent...

And there's some great artists out there otherwise combining jazz with hiphop like 2002's You Have Reached Mike Phillips...
Just looked on Amazon, they're selling Charlie McCarthy repros, ran across this product review, made me think of your post...

A Kid's Review
this thing is cool i liked it until i blew it up heres the story one night i was...
Definitely. (Raleigh, NC)
Done a lot of record hunting especially in high school & college (when gangsta rap pushed me permanently out of hiphop and into the swing era!), and noticed those last few years before I graduated, more and more on ebay & less & less locally. Sure was fun finding...
Cool thanks - based on your grouping it with SK, just put the Summer Stock DVD on the amazon wish list - Root, man I thought I'd gotten Every Cab Calloway soundie & movie through the 40s, that's a new one on me! crazy man crazy

Cool. Didn't know Peggy Lee sang with Miller's band - was that before or after he died? Always associated her with Goodman's band, then the Capitol solo career...
Wow :) "they don't make em like they used to"

For the "drunken sunburnt journey of the mind remembering all those girls you never kissed", something by Death Cab for Cutie, maybe Sound of Settling... most anything off Transatlanticism...
Course you could always throw a curveball in the list and go vintage, maybe even introduce some folks...
I saw those and briefly thought of posting them here to see peoples reaction... but then decided it's just too nasty :p
Chrome on cars seems to be becoming More popular in some circles, but Not in a tasteful way... as in , people wanting to get their bling on...

Vintage metal bell tone for Verizon cell?
I've a 2005 Verizon Motorola cell... never looked into riingtones but often thought if I could get a classic "real" metal bell recording tone, or convert my own WAV's into ringtones, that would be cool...
anyone with a Verizon Motorola cell know...
The movie even has its own SIG with an annual event at the Grand Hotel in Michigan... has anyone here gone to one & can post? i.e. the general age group etc

WHOA, Son... Them's FIGHTIN' words! :rage: :rage: ;)
Those are some of the very the best of the Golden Era!
He is great in that. And don't forget him in the enthralling essential-to-golden-era movie, Little Caesar (1931) - "You can't outsmart Rico, see!"

Been checking out everyone's posted bands on Amazon sound clips, some really amazing stuff! (Neecerie, Bland's 1980s Malaco tracks are The Coolest... got a couple in the 45 jukebox, what a great sound for a rainy night, right along with Brook Benton's Rainy Night in Georgia...)
Now...
Any "yes" votes from loungers for any of these bands?:
- Jack Johnson
- Mighty Mighty Bosstones
- Reel Big Fish
- soundtracks from Grey's Anatomy, or Garden State, or Wicker Park
- Gomez
- Death Cab For Cutie
- The Flaming Lips
with Nickelback? - didn't even know they were Canadian...
Just curious, for those of you who appreciate golden era clothes/movies/etc and/or swing dancing, and who also sometimes listen to contemporary (2000 or later ) rock/indie/punk/alt/etc & not just golden era music or neo-swing:
What rock/etc bands do you listen to which have made new records...
"Whatever..." Just bought a new watch a week ago, my first non-digital (after surveying prices on nice-condition original working WWII ones, realized I'd better start off with a new one lol )

You got that right - Smith was one of the last "good guys" of rap coming out of the 80s / early 90s without selling out to the gangsta #$%@! When Eazy E & all the wannabe thugs came on, I pretty much quit listening to anything new, just oldies, mainly 30s-40s swing bands & some jazz & r&b from...
