Holly in NC:

@Loretta, not much good in Lumberton, except for the people. Irks me that the Lumbees continue NOT to recognized as a valid tribe, not least because a certain other unnamed tribe does not wanting to share benefits. Also Lumbees have an insanely high rate of heart disease, a steady stream is always incoming to Duke Heart Center :-(

Tom in Red Hook:

I want to purchase a cd of music that is only available on cd, not available online so something special in either 20c new classical or rock. Any thoughts of where I can preview (but not listen) to such a list. Once I select a title I'd like to order from othermusic in nyc or another local shop. Any thoughts please?

Answer hazy ask again later.
Avatar 11:07pm
Holly in NC:

@Tom - Forced Exposure & Volcanic Tongue offer written reviews of many esoteric lps/cds, with no soundclips, if that's what you're looking for.. many of their offerings not available through regular legal or illegal online sources. If I weren't tuckered I could think of other sources, let me sleep on it. Feeding Tube also, but much of their stuff tends to get uploaded illegally fairly quickly.
