Hey everyone. A belate "merry vintage christmas" to everyone here. Especially the "old folks". I havn't forgotten you, I just have little time to hang around here.

Thank joerg, I also just discovered foutourist - and I'm happy to have back that fabulous source of "chronological classics". On some of the blogs I read that there have been a lot of closings lately. :-( Now the biggest thing I'm missing is singinandswingin. It was a great source for all ...

One of my favorite blogs, regalame esta noche, which had been posting literally hundreds of the "Chronological Classics" series, seems to have been taken down. After "singin and swingin" and "eldiablotuntun" this is the third blog I LOVED going down (or for singin and s...

I'm also interested in getting an invite.
I used to read that blog a lot when it was still open to everyone.

One one hand, the .flac file might be coming with a .cue file that you can use for splitting. Basically, a .flac is a lossless (!) audio format like .mp3 or .wav It can be one file per track, or one file for a whole album, just as with .mp3 or .wav. .cue files are the content sheets of a CD, basical...

My Chrismas present for you is here:
cool-christmas-compilation-t5084.html

(Not the best compilation, but some fun songs on it.)

I'm looking in particular for the album "Christmas in swing": http://nnm.ru/blogs/lzlzbujhm/swing_dance_orchestra_3/ http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31TEV0REAFL.jpg I've heard one or the other CD from this orchestra, and they were really good. Anyone has this album or can access it v...

Nope. I can identify with it, but it will then only tell me its a non-public blog and I havn't been invited.

Oh Marie!
We love you and your music taste. What could be more lovable than a blog of yours with music?

Actually I try to tag my music as either Neo-Swing (for stuff that has strong Rockabilly/Ska/... influences) and Retro-Swing for new stuff that tries hard to copy the old music styles.

Anyone here that can get me invited to
http://singinandswingin.blogspot.com/
which has been one of my favorite blogs for a long time?

That would be most kind!

If you upload a custom collection, it is very nice if you provide both a track list (i.e. the ordering in which you expect people to listen to the songs!) and maybe even a cover art. Also try to update the song tags to match your compilation (set the Album tag to your collection, update the track nu...

Hey, old gang.
Sorry of not having been around a lot. I'm just too busy working, dancing and such. Too bad that I'm missing so much good music being posted here. :-(

I miss you, guys. You made me love so much new music.
It's just that I can't really keep up with it anymore, too busy at my job these days.

Please!
I'd also love to get hold of this album.

Thanks for the love!
I've been way to busy these days, I think I'm still stuck in july when it comes to the anyswing forums...

@Bill: That would be cool if you could share them!

If you have some more Claude Bolling Albums that weren't posted already, please share them here: http://www.anyswing.com/claude-bolling-t3346.html (Remember: one thread per artist, not one per album). In particular I'm looking for the "PariSwing" Album (also known as "Paris Swing"...

I've found
Diane Schuur & The Count Basie Orchestra:
http://musicmoadom.blogspot.com/2008/07 ... -1987.html
and
Diane Schuur - Pure Schuur
http://terabyte2000.freeo.net/?p=132

But I'm looking for "Blues for Schuur". Did anyone find it online?

If I remember correctly, this is a pretty cool song.
Anyone got this album?

Peter Davis and Lindy Hop Heaven - Goin' to Lindy Land

Pretty pretty please!

There apparently are some compilations floating around called "jazz it up for lindy hop" that are targeted at dancers. They probably were never publicly sold, but just traded amongst friends at Herräng etc. If anyone has some of these CDs, can you please upload them? They're said to be rea...

There has not been a virus so far that affects MP3 files. I guess all the widely used decoders handle broken data well enough to not have any buffer overflow vulnerabilities there. In general, torrents are not more or less likely to contain viruses than any other data you grab from any file sharing ...

Because the files were crippled by Microsoft. I do not get why people fall for the technology lock-in by Microsoft and Apple.

http://artdecoblog.blogspot.com/ Name says it all: Art Deco Blog. Clothing, Flappers, Art, ... Does anyone know some web sites that have a cool Art Deco or Retro look to them?

There was a separate thread about that already, where I also shared some tips on how to use other unix systems you have access to as proxies. That way I can basically completely bypass the rapidshare limits by just cycling through the various hosts I can use as proxies. I'm usually downloading from ...

Hi, There is a music search engine / music meta-database at http://c27ck4r7g2lo5bx6.onion/music/ :!: this is a 'hidden service'; you need to use the TOR anonymizer to access it. See Wikipedia on .onion and Wikipedia on hidden services/servers . I know that setting up this thing is a pain, but it's a...

Yeah, make sure to not only know the 'mood' of a song and the tempo, but also it's danceability . Best if you know the dancing styles it's good for. People will totally get annoyed when you play a couple of very danceable songs in a row then just to mess it up with a song that just won't work (e.g. ...

Seems to be unavilable in my country.
I have no idea if it's worth the hassle (and price) of getting it shipped overseas.

Thanks.

There are rumors around that Rapidshare was shut down and their servers seized. Yesterday, the german RIAA-equivalent "GEMA" apparently had won an injunction against Rapidshare.com. However: that injunction was last year. Most news articles are dated January 19 2007 , so I guess that is ca...

Try torrent. For movies, bittorrent usually works quite well. Rapidshare is a pain when you need so many parts. try e.g. http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3623353/Swing_Kids_(1993)_%5BDVDrip%5D_DIVX According to their stats, there are some seeds. Otherwise, just search for other trackers having th...

Yay. 300th posts here in the forum! :-) :play: Thank you so much guys - I love this music. And there are so many out-of-print albums here I couldn't buy even if I had the money... (And in fact, I bought like 80+ Dixieland, Swing and Blues CDs the last months... didn't get around to convert them yet,...

Thank you so much!
I've seen mentionings of a "Vol. 3", but these two are already great. :-)

Thank you so much!

Update:
The 3-CD version seem to have the same tracks, in the same sequence, just split up onto three CDs instead of two.

Anyone? I found a few tracks somewhere, but that's it. :-(

Thanks a lot!

Maybe his harddisk is full? :-)

P.S. Jimmy Witherspoon - The Blues Collection http://i10.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/80/e4/f091_1.JPG that is the first album he posted, tracklist: 1. Good rockin' tonight 2. When i been drinkin' 3.

I read good things about this one... Jimmy Witherspoon - Jazz Me Blues/Best Of (Prestige - 1998) This is a fantastic jazz blues CD. This is perhaps my favorite blues album. You know the kind--filled with those sad slow blues songs. They really groove. But there are a number of faster songs, too, per...

I'm particularly looking for "The Firehouse Five Story".
Thanks.

Thanks. Yeah, Lionel Hampton – Flying Home is the common choice for the choreography. It's not the song in the video though for all I know.

Yeah, I created such a site some time ago...

Google Pages layout options suck, though.

Anyone has "Globetrottin' with Bones"?
I'm looking for the song "Sweet Georgia Brown" in the version by Brother Bones.
Thanks.

I'm always looking for some great ragtime - anyone has some album of Lu Watters?

Steve, congrats to your birthday!

These most likely are computer programs searching for some key words (e.g. 'girls') and forum keywords (e.g. phpBB2) and then will automatically try to sign up and post.
These aren't humans posting manually, or their posts would be a lot cleverer I guess.

Christian Flappers, Zoots & Wingtips?
Christian Reefers?
