Good stuff, I have that too, there's some good stuff on there for sure, it was what pretty much completed my Artie Shaw collection for me.

So...I went back to the record store again today and again was very much tempted by the Anthology of Big Band Swing put out by Decca. Is it really worth it, like, is there some stuff on there that is REALLY hard to find or something? I'm interested in buying it, but I figure I'll probably just get t...

If I had a desktop I would, but I have a laptop, which makes things way more expensive. you can get an external with a firewire or a usb port. i got a buslink one from best buy and it works fine. I also have an Archos USB CD-R burner that is literally the size of a discman. I think it was close to ...

I'm gonna re-do this now that I've re-organized my music into a 200 cd binder... Black and Tan Fantasy - Duke Ellington (OKeh Ellington Disc 1) Just a-setting and a-rocking - Duke Ellington (Proper Box Set "Take The A Train") Exactly Like You - Count Basie (Complete Original American Decca...

I'm a freak... I went and got the last of the cds that I wanted from A&B Sound today... Benny Goodman - 1935 (CC) Lincoln Jazz Center Orchestra - Live at Swing City Duke Ellington - The Small Bands Vol. 1 (2 discs) Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra - Smoke Rings If I didn't clean them out of...

Yeah, I went through a REALLY short period of liking neo swing (like 2 weeks). Then I kinda liked the groove for about a month but then I bought a Count Basie cd and it was awesome. I have not looked back since and now all I love to play is early swing and hot jazz. It's good shit.

Hmm....

The song had potential until I heard him sing. I'm really not a fan of many vocalists, especially Prima.

*tear runs down face* This is the greatest thread EVER!

Since it seems we've established that no, we all don't hate wade in the water, I thought I'd try my hand with Louis Prima. I have had the Capitol Collector's Series since Big Night came out (it was super cheap at Costco then) and have loved the CD. I started out spinning from it quite a bit, but as...

So I'm just curious how everyone's tastes have changed while being a DJ. I just bought a 200 cd binder to keep all my cds in one place. I am putting stuff in there and I realize how much crap I had from back in the day. I have burned mix cds (which I'm getting rid of as I buy the albums with the son...

I know, but they're also pricy, I just spent most of my extra money on CDs...I guess I should get myself a job.

Yeah, I need to do this I think. I just need to get an external burner or ask a friend if I can use his computer for a day or something. I don't wanna loose my CDs. Just gotta get access to a burner and then I'll be all good.

Harrison

Haha! So, I went out on a bit of a spending spree today. Student loans came in so I fished out the good shit from A&B sound... Fletcher Henderson - Blue Rhythm Earl Hines - The Earl Duke Ellington - 1928 - 1929 (chrono classic) Duke Ellington - The Duke's Men Volume 2 (2 discs) Count Basie - Com...

Well for anyone going to the Vancouver places don't worry, I won't be there until December, so stock up now. But the one here in Victoria should be out of the good stuff by the end of today muahahaha.

You're right Brenda, it's all my fault, but do you blame me?
