The full version of New York New York on Carhorn Organ is quite lovely, especially when played at about 120 decibels--but there is some other interesting stuff on this collection. This is the first place I'd heard of Clara Rockmore as well. Some of it is really beautiful and/or interesting and some of it will clear a room of MOR radio fans faster than Trout Mask Replica.

Calla? I thought that was one of Mark E. Smith's side projects: "It was a...wax-model-a...a brick tunnel-a...dead-end trunk-line call-a...Profligate! Profligate!"

And, wow, check out the first two MP3s on the Holmes Brothers' MySpace page.

Wow, indeed! Now THAT'S the way to do covers.

I like that first line in the beaver story. And what a cute anamule.

I grew up about 60 miles north of the Bronx and every so often we'd find a beaver dam, or evidence they'd been around. They really kept up in the backwoods though. This is kind of exciting. I remember when the red fox and bobcat disappeared and made a reappearance in the lower Hudson Valley about 10 years later... and the first coyote I saw down that far south was 1979. We didn't know what it was. Of course since then they've made it into Central Park--and a friend and I tracked them into the rail yards near Penn Station once but never got more than pictures from an MTA worker. Exciting stuff!
