WFMU’s Vinylmania Record Fair 2011

Starting this Friday Octo 28th through Sunday the 30th at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan (125 W. 18th St) WFMU is hosting their annual Record Fair. It’s been an amazing trip to see all sorts of young folks thinking it’s cool to own a piece of music and not just digital copy. All weekend they will be spinning 45’s and featuring the recent Italian documentary Vinylmania by Director Paolo Campana. I hope to attend on Friday to rummage the crates of records. A bunch of bands will be playing like The Black Hollies and Sediment Club. This is a real NY experience so if you’ve never gone before and you’re going to be in the city put it on your agenda. Dust off that turn table . While you are chewing on this also think that you will be supporting the station that gives you most by being totally comercial free. Sp consider giving them a spin and a pledge of support. They do great things for a free form spirit and bring you programming like none other on the planet. oh and they plays songs.

Run With Me Run MP3 by The Black Hollies from Softly Towards The Light (2009)

Lollipop MP3 by Nimbus on BASF 7″ Germany (1971). This track is from a 31 song marathon DJ premium from Terre T who is just one of the amazing nutball DJs on WFMU who go through the stax to bring you amazing obscure punk and rarities. This particular comp has somewhat delicious food themes.

Light Sweet Crude MP3 by Obits live on Evan Funk Davies Show (4/21/2009)

Here’s a couple random finds from my local jersey shop the Sound Station.
Bold Soul Sister, Bold Soul Brother MP3 by Black on White Affair from this great comp Wheedle’s Groove – Seattle’s Finest In Funk & Soul 1965-75.
Tameyawt MP3 by Tinariwen from Tassili. This has some of the TV on the radio guys. It’s sung in a african dialec. Has a Nick Drake feel.
