Cool stunts (if real) but absolutely no respect for mechanical audio. I couldn’t find any background for that video aside from a blurb that said the guys found a stash of 400+ vinyl records and a DJ turntable – with a suspicious brand name I’ve never heard of before. Watch for the James Brown move at 0:30 in.

Let’s get out the grooves, toss that analog splatter on the platter and spin the stacks ‘o wax on this edition of The Overnight Open Thread.

Hollerin’

Recorded in 1975, Hollerin’ features the unforgettable Leonard Emanuel and others, live at Spivey’s Corner North Carolina. (Hear clips here or here.)

This double record set came in very handy back when Bunk was still slumming around in apartments. If the neighbors were making too much noise, I’d just slap side one on the turntable, crank it up, and laugh and laugh and laugh.

Lucky you, it’s available on CD, and well worth the bucks for the entertainment. Try it on your loud neighbors. Believe me, everyone shuts up when they hear it, with big ‘ol honkin’ visible WTF thought-bubbles over their heads.

There’s only one place it doesn’t work, and that’s in the Blogmocracy Rec Room on The Overnight Open Thread.
