New Afro Funk Mix: Into The Fire

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Long-time Good Records NYC customer and homie Brian H. from California (and Philadelphia, briefly) has an awesome music & design blog that you should really check out called Dreams In Audio (www.dreamsinaudio.com) where his recent obsession with African music is getting represented lovely.

Brian has laced us with the following mix that is packing, well, a hell of a lot of that fire.

Even though what we do is wrong: the (maybe) sin of sharing old albums

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

I take the immensely unpopular (on the net, at least) opinion that public sharing of old records on the internet should be done sparingly. Sometimes, it’s great – see the comments section of the Spice LP I put up a while back, which reunited members of the band and hipped them to their own record that they didn’t know existed. Other times, it’s tumbleweeds (Jon Lucien, for instance) and more often it’s just an exercise in show-and-tell (Brief Encounter). Generally speaking, I prefer to post mixes and individual songs. I try to be judicious with the free sharing of OPP – other peoples’ product.

I simply do not buy the idea that, since these records are out of print, since they are rare, obscure, or unknown to larger society (sometimes, even to their own makers) that they are somehow common-law property of the listeners until we are told otherwise. And I certainly don’t buy the argument that, as a dealer of used records, that I’m somehow doing the same thing on a daily basis in my shop. At the end of the day, every piece of music on this blog belongs to someone else. Sharing should be done with that in mind.
