‘No one else is saving it’: the fight to protect a historic music collection ...

It all started in a loft in Tribeca, New York, long before it was a trendy neighbourhood. “I had 47,000 records and nobody wanted them,” recalls Bob George, who had just published a discography of punk and new wave music. “That led a lot of people coming to me and saying you have to save this stuff; no one else is saving it. That got the ball rolling in my loft in what is now fashionable Tribeca, which was an incredibly unfashionable war zone in 1974 when I was first there.”

George turned his record collection into the ARChive of Contemporary Music (Arc) in 1985 with co-founder David Wheeler. The non-profit music library and research centre now contains more than 3m sound recordings or over 90m songs, making it one of the biggest popular music collections in the world. Donors and board members have included David Bowie, Jonathan Demme, Lou Reed, Martin Scorsese and Paul Simon.

The Arc is not open to the public but has been a vital resource for film-makers, writers and researchers ranging from Ken Burns looking for a song for his series Baseball to the new Grammy Hall of Fame and Museum in Los Angeles needing cover art for its inducted recordings. Now, however, this unique treasure trove is under existential threat.

The Arc cannot remain at its current Hudson Valley premises indefinitely and is in need of a new and bigger home. “We have to move and we don’t know when we’ll have to move and the collection is really at risk because it’s all on pallets,” says George, who dreams of a patron like James Smithson, the British scientist who left his estate to the US to found the Smithsonian Institution. “We’re looking for someone to help us buy a very wonderful property or for us to build a new building on vacant land in upstate New York.”

After growing up in Youngstown, Ohio, George moved to New York in 1974 as a visual arts student and started collecting records as a DJ. In 1981 he released Laurie Anderson’s first single, O Superman, which sold nearly a million copies worldwide and made it to number on the UK singles chart. He was a guest on John Peel’s beloved BBC radio show, sneaking in little-known records from New York, and took music to European broadcasters too. People kept giving him records that other collections turned down.

“I was doing the book and then doing Peel shows and it accidentally became this large collection that nobody wanted. They kept saying, oh, we collect classical, we collect Broadway, we collect ethnic music. I said, well, I have funk, reggae, African and hip-hop and they said, oh, no, we don’t collect any of that. Forty years later, I say, you put all those together and that’s what music has become.”

The simple goal of the archive, which has always had a peripatetic existence, is preservation. “We have no interest in quality,” George cheerfully admits. “It started that way from the very beginning because there’s no way to tell what’s valuable in the future. Everybody brings their own criteria and tastes to things in their own time. But the future is quite different, as we hope.”

The archive has never received aid from any city, state or federal organisation but its scale gives the Library of Congress a run for its money. It has absorbed major collections from musicians and fans and is home to most of Rolling Stone Keith Richards’ extensive blues inventory.

George dispatched two semi-trailers to a condemned house in Boston sinking under the weight of Jeep Holland’s set of more than 125,000 recordings and over 2,500 signed albums from the likes of the Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley and the Sex Pistols. “Going towards the bathroom, he has a gas stove, the pilot light is on, there are records in the oven. It was just a storage space ... His car had become so full of records that he abandoned it and rented a car.”

George has made repeat trips to countries such as Brazil, Cambodia, Colombia, Cuba, Japan, Jordan, Laos and Thailand. The Arc contains Demme’s personal collection of Haitian albums. More than 150,000 pieces of world music have been catalogued; there are plenty more to do. “We’ve tried to get as much of that material as possible so that collection is just fabulous.”

The Arc preserves copies of every recording in all known formats. It has electronically catalogued more than 400,000 sound recordings and digitised 200,000 with the Internet Archive – more than any other public university or private library in America. It also contains more than 3m pieces of material including photos, videos, DVDs, books, magazines, press kits, sheet music, ephemera and memorabilia.

George says: “We catalogued 105,000 singles just recently; we have another 200,000 or 300,000 to go. This is the first way a band at one time got their feet in the water. They put out one or two or three singles. If they did hits, they got the chance to do an album and so much of this material does not exist on LP or CD. Little by little more of it might be streaming because of YouTube, as people can get away with murder on YouTube, which is great, but YouTube will disappear. Everything commercial will disappear.”

Among those who have turned to the archive is the Oscar-winning director Ang Lee, who wanted records by the singer Bert Sommer for his film Taking Woodstock. “The archive is amazing because we don’t know what we have until somebody needs it. We’ve been into the stacks and we found five LPs by Bert Sommer. For me, it’s like I have no idea who this guy is and what he did; he’s sort of a folkie. For Quincy Jones, we just sent him a list of the 8,000 things that he’s either produced or on.

“Research was how we basically stayed alive along with the largesse of the rock stars or celebrities that we had hooked up with. The idea was never to open to the public but that’s what we want to do now. I don’t think it’s untrue that we’re one of the largest in the world and that we want to make that available. We’ve tried to save two copies so there will always be a listening copy and then that would then become a listening library.”

George hopes the new archive will be open to students, educators, historians, musicians, authors, journalists and the general public. An anonymous donor has come forward with a million dollars to help realise that dream but more money is urgently needed. One possible new home is an abandoned IBM campus spanning 34 acres, although that would cost $8-10m. George is considering partnering with an upstate university and has plans to offer residencies for scholars.

“People could come in and produce a work, and that would go out into the world. It could be a blog, essay, tape, compilation, new recording, whatever. We’re really quite un-academic. I’m against it somewhat and I’d like people to have ideas and bring those ideas and put them back into the world as opposed to making it an interactive experience for everybody. I don’t want to be Disney World. It’s nice to have seminars. It’s nice to have listening parties. It’s nice to have dances.”

House With Nearly 300 Classic Cars on 18 Acres Is One Rough Diamond For $400K! Everything Uou’ve Wished For, OR Your Worst Nightmare?

— By James Gilboy | January 30, 2024

Via Zillow

Owning a Home, a Garage, a Bunch of Land for Hooning on, and More Classic Cars than you can count is all our common dream. Well, if you can get a mortgage for the $400,000 property listed on Zillow right now, that dream can be your reality. But like every dream, this one's gonna take work to realize, because boy is this place an unpolished gem.

Currently for sale in Canaan, New Hampshire near the Vermont border, this property is aimed directly at all of us. "ARE YOU A CAR ENTHUSIAST?" opens the ad, which is for the grounds of a defunct classic car boneyard called Parts of the Past. The 18-acre site is littered with close to 300 classics in varying conditions, some of them seemingly in good shape. Others... You'd better be up to date on your tetanus shots.

Parts of the Past Grounds. Zillow

From what few photos of the cars there are, it looks like the majority are pre-1970 and mainly if not all American makes. I spy some old Chryslers, a DeSoto, and a Nash Metropolitan, but most are too distant to be instantly recognizable. A pile of doors suggests many may have been picked for parts already, so there's no telling how complete most of the cars are. Some may just be decaying shells, while others could be what auctioneers like to call "restoration opportunities."

Going by the surprising bounty at the overgrown former AMC dealer in North Carolina, more of them may be in good shape than we think. But even taking inventory of the cars on the lot and their condition would be a months-long process if it's not your full-time job. Whether you want to part them out to maximize your return on investment or liquidate it all, you've got a Sisyphean task ahead of you.

House on the Grounds of Parts of the Past. Zillow

Even if you want to use the onsite garage to restore some, and enjoy the forested land for all it's worth, you're still gonna have to figure out what to do with the house. It's a one-bedroom, three-bathroom home that's sold as a "post and beam"-style affair. That may be overselling what looks like an incomplete major renovation, with exposed studs in almost every room and an almost totally unfinished bathroom. I've lived in a place like this, and it sucks even more than those Modern Farmhouse-style places your least interesting neighbor lives in.

Between the house and collection of unknown cars, it's hard to say whether this place is really worth $400,000. Is it more than the sum of its parts, or does it even add up to that in the first place? That's for people who get boots on the ground to decide. Me, I'd sooner take one running car and a livable house, but to each their own.

"ADDICTIVE LOVE IS...." (notes found in a drawer)

by Ethlie Ann Vare

I was Swedish Death Cleaning my file cabinets the other day and came across a page I had written in 2003. An actual page, printed on actual paper, like we did in 2003. It might have been a pitch document for a script or a book. It might have been an inventory I was going to share with a sponsor. It might have been a journal entry, but I doubt that because I am hopeless at journaling, much to my chagrin. 

Whatever it was, I share it with you now because it feels real and raw and you just might relate. 

ADDICTIVE LOVE IS…

…curling up on the couch in fetal position, nauseous, because he didn’t call.

…a red haze misting over your eyeballs and the top of your head about to explode because he walks into the room.

…your heart lurching into your throat because you see a car the same make and model as his.

…looking at every girl in the room and imagining that he’s with her.

…getting an overwhelming feeling of calm simply imagining the hug, the kiss, the kind word.

…rehearsing phone conversations that never happened, letters never sent, over and over until perfect.

…re-reading emails until they’re memorized.

…tears welling up for no good reason.

Nothing tastes good - nothing tastes at all - except sugary sweets and salty snacks.

You can’t fall asleep, then can’t stay asleep... you wake up at 3am but don’t get out of bed until 9.

The bribes and the bait. Taking back the bribes and the bait. 

The grief comes in waves.

These are men I have felt exactly this way about:

Ted, who was tall and dark and a diplomat’s son 

Martin, who was short and grey and made cartoons

John, who was chubby and a rocket scientist 

Pat, who was blonde and insane and wanted to act

Chuck, who was smart and sophisticated and a junkie

Bill, who was rangy and rich and an adventurer 

Lonnie, who had black curls and lived in a group home

Pete, who played the guitar and was married to someone else

There was David from high school and Charles from college and a few Stevens and a Michael or three… I felt exactly the same way about each of them and they had nothing in common other than that feeling. That, and that I knew they wouldn’t stay.

The terror sets in waiting for them to leave. Knowing from the very beginning that this is someone who will leave, because otherwise it doesn’t work. Once, I reveled in that exquisite torture. Called it that aloud: “exquisite torture.” So numb, I suppose, that feeling anything was better than feeling nothing. This, at least, was intense enough for me to feel, like curry on a cold. But now it’s just torture. It’s quivering, all-consuming fear. Maybe not all-consuming. Like the grief, the fear comes in waves.

The writing trails off there. I imagine I was too unhappy to continue. It’s funny looking back now on the list of men — tall, short, thick, thin, fair, dark, smart, dumb, young, old, rich, poor — and I realize I never had a type in the classic sense. My type was “unavailable.” No wonder I was sad. 

Well, it did all become a book in the end, which I suppose is the good news. And if you relate to those feeling, I commend you to it. It might help. Because the better news is this: I don’t feel like that any more. Ever. I mean, never say never but I think I don’t ever have to feel that way again. Because wanting to leave is no longer an attractive feature on a man, and I no longer find exquisite torture exquisite. Change happens.

Customizing Your Corvette: A Look at Exterior Styling Options

Owning a Corvette is more than just driving a car; it's embracing a legacy of speed, style, and sophistication. Many Corvette owners want to go further by adding a unique flair to their ride with customized touches. From sleek body kits to bold paint jobs and dynamic wheel options, let’s dive into ways to take your Corvette’s exterior styling up a notch with some standout options in Corvette parts and accessories and Corvette exterior accessories.

1. Body Kits: Sculpting Your Corvette’s Signature Look

A body kit can dramatically change your Corvette's appearance, making it more aggressive, aerodynamic, or modern. Body kits often include front and rear bumpers, side skirts, spoilers, and diffusers. Whether you're looking to capture a race-inspired look or give it a low, mean stance, body kits offer a range of looks. Quality kits will fit seamlessly with the car's contours and often come ready for painting. Additionally, carbon fiber or fiberglass materials are popular choices for lightweight performance without sacrificing style.

2. Wheels: Where Style Meets Performance

Wheels are like a car's shoes – they tie the look together and can say a lot about the car's personality. Custom Corvette wheels come in various designs, finishes, and sizes. Opting for larger wheels can add a sportier look, while chrome or black finishes can give your Corvette a classic or edgy feel. Lightweight alloy wheels not only look great but can also improve handling and performance. And if you’re aiming to make heads turn, consider color accents or unique patterns that showcase your style.

3. Custom Paint Jobs: Making a Bold Statement

Few things speak louder than a custom paint job. A new paint color can instantly rejuvenate the appearance of your Corvette, making it feel like a brand-new car. Some owners go for a high-gloss finish to reflect light in style, while others might prefer a matte look for a more understated, sleek aesthetic. There’s also the option of using wrap films, which come in endless colors and patterns. Wraps are ideal if you want a bold look without committing to permanent paint, as they are easily removable and can protect your original paint job.

4. Decals and Stripes: Sporty Finishes

Decals and racing stripes are a classic way to add personality to your Corvette without a full paint job. From single stripes that run the length of your car to more intricate designs on the hood or sides, decals offer versatility. Racing stripes, in particular, are a nostalgic nod to Corvette’s racing heritage and give your car a speedy, ready-to-race vibe. Choose a color that complements or contrasts with your Corvette’s paint, and you’ll have a new look in no time.

5. Lights and Trim: Illuminating Details

Lights and trim can be the finishing touches that set your Corvette apart. LED or custom headlight options can add a modern look, while upgraded tail lights with a smoked or clear finish give a unique touch to the rear. Consider swapping out stock side markers or grilles for options that match your preferred look. Custom badges or emblems on the exterior are also subtle but effective ways to make your Corvette unmistakably yours.

Key Considerations for Starting a Profitable Car Hauling Business

Starting a car hauling business can be an attractive entrepreneurial opportunity, especially with the growing demand for vehicle transportation services across the country. Whether it's moving cars for auto dealerships, manufacturers, or private clients, there is a consistent need for efficient and reliable car haulers. However, success in this business isn't automatic—it requires careful planning, proper equipment, effective marketing, and a commitment to customer satisfaction. This article explores key considerations for anyone interested in building a profitable and sustainable car-hauling business.

Understanding the Demand and Market

Before diving into the logistics and operations, it's essential to understand the demand for car hauling services. The vehicle transport industry caters to a variety of customers, including auto dealerships, rental agencies, auction houses, car manufacturers, and private individuals who need to relocate vehicles. Understanding who your customers are and what their specific needs are is crucial in designing your business model.

For example, auto dealerships may need frequent transport services to move cars between locations or to deliver new inventory from manufacturers. On the other hand, individual customers might seek out car hauling services for relocation or purchasing a car from out of state. Researching and identifying your target market will help you define your services, set appropriate pricing, and develop a competitive edge. In addition, understanding regional demand—whether local, interstate, or even nationwide—can influence your business decisions, from choosing the size of your fleet to marketing strategies.

Choosing the Right Equipment

The heart of any car-hauling business lies in the equipment used to transport vehicles. When starting, you'll need to decide on the type of hauling equipment that best suits your business needs. The most common types of car haulers are flatbed trailers, open-air multi-car carriers, and enclosed car carriers. Each has its benefits and limitations depending on the type of vehicles you plan to transport and the nature of your clientele.

Flatbed trailers are versatile and useful for hauling a variety of vehicle types, especially if you plan on transporting oversized or specialty vehicles. Multi-car carriers are ideal for hauling multiple vehicles at once, making them suitable for transporting cars for dealerships or bulk orders. Enclosed carriers, while more expensive, offer the added benefit of protecting high-end, luxury, or classic cars from the elements and road debris during transport.

While purchasing new equipment can be costly, buying quality, reliable trailers and trucks is crucial for the longevity of your business. Additionally, make sure to budget for the ongoing maintenance of your equipment. Regular inspections and proper upkeep will minimize the risk of breakdowns and ensure that your fleet remains in top working condition, keeping your business on schedule and maintaining your reputation.

Navigating Legal Requirements and Regulations

Car hauling businesses are subject to numerous regulations at the federal, state, and local levels. Before you can legally operate, it's crucial to obtain the necessary licenses and permits. In the United States, you'll need a Motor Carrier Authority (MC number) from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) if you plan to transport vehicles across state lines. Additionally, you must register for a U.S. DOT number to comply with transportation regulations.

In addition to federal permits, state-specific licensing may be required depending on your location and the routes you plan to operate on. Each state has its own set of rules regarding weight limits, insurance coverage, and vehicle registration. Understanding these regulations will prevent costly fines and delays down the road.

Insurance is another critical consideration. Car hauling businesses need several types of insurance coverage, including liability insurance, cargo insurance, and physical damage insurance for your vehicles and equipment. Liability insurance protects against third-party injuries or property damage, while cargo insurance covers damage to the vehicles you're transporting. Having adequate insurance not only ensures legal compliance but also helps protect your business from financial loss in case of accidents or damage during transport.

Building a Strong Team of Drivers

Your drivers are essential to the success of your car-hauling business, as they directly impact safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. Recruiting skilled, reliable drivers with experience in vehicle transport is a crucial step in building a strong team. A good car hauler needs to be knowledgeable about loading and unloading vehicles safely, understanding weight distribution, and securing cars for transit.

Additionally, commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) are required for most car hauling positions, especially for drivers operating heavy-duty vehicles. Hiring drivers who are both experienced and well-trained in safety procedures can help reduce risks and ensure your business runs smoothly.

Furthermore, it's essential to create an environment that fosters loyalty and minimizes turnover. Offering competitive pay, benefits, and incentives will help retain your drivers and keep them motivated. Providing ongoing training on new safety protocols and customer service standards will ensure that your team stays up to date with industry best practices.

Marketing and Customer Acquisition

Even with the best equipment and skilled drivers, no business can succeed without a solid marketing strategy. Building a strong brand presence both online and offline is key to attracting new clients and standing out in a competitive market.

Start by establishing an online presence with a professional website that showcases your services, pricing, and contact details. Make sure your website is optimized for search engines (SEO) so that potential customers can easily find your business when searching for car hauling services in your area. Customer testimonials, clear service descriptions, and easy-to-navigate contact forms will help build trust and encourage inquiries.

In addition to a website, leverage social media platforms to reach a wider audience. Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn offer excellent platforms to share updates, promote special offers, and engage with your customer base. Social media is also an effective way to display customer reviews and success stories, which can greatly enhance your business reputation.

Offline marketing is also valuable, especially when targeting local auto dealerships, car rental companies, or auction houses. Building relationships with local businesses in the automotive industry can lead to steady contracts and word-of-mouth referrals. Networking through industry events or trade shows can also open doors for new partnerships and collaborations.

Effective Route Planning and Operational Efficiency

In the car hauling business, time is money, so operational efficiency is a major consideration. One of the most important aspects of this is route planning. Optimizing routes to avoid traffic, road closures, or detours can save you significant amounts in fuel costs and time, which will ultimately improve your bottom line.

Using GPS technology or route optimization software can help ensure that you always take the quickest and most fuel-efficient routes. This technology can also alert you to any issues along your planned routes, helping you adjust in real time and avoid costly delays.

Moreover, when scheduling jobs, make sure you plan carefully to avoid overloading your fleet or pushing drivers too hard. Efficient scheduling allows you to maximize the use of your equipment while ensuring that deliveries are made on time and without compromising safety.

Financial Management and Budgeting

Running a profitable car-hauling business requires careful financial management. From the cost of equipment and fuel to driver wages and maintenance, there are numerous expenses to keep track of. Establishing a detailed budget will help you monitor expenses, ensure profitability, and identify areas where costs can be reduced.

It's also essential to establish a reliable payment system for your customers. Many car-hauling businesses operate on contracts or invoicing systems, where payments are made after the service has been provided. Clear payment terms, including deposit requirements and deadlines for full payment, will help keep your cash flow consistent and avoid financial stress.

Keep in mind that while the business has strong revenue potential, it can also have high overhead costs. As you grow your fleet, you'll need to balance between expanding your capacity and managing expenses to ensure that your profit margins remain healthy.

Starting a car hauling business offers many opportunities but requires careful attention to several key factors for success. From understanding the market demand and investing in the right equipment to maintaining legal compliance and developing a strong customer base, every element plays a role in building a profitable operation. By focusing on driver recruitment, operational efficiency, and effective marketing, you can position your business for long-term growth and sustainability. With the right planning and commitment, your car-hauling business can thrive and become a trusted name in the transportation industry.

Explore the Best Pre-Owned Cars for Sale Near Atlanta: Your Comprehensive Guide

Atlanta, Georgia's vibrant capital, is celebrated for its rich history, dynamic culture, and thriving economy. As a central hub in the South, it’s a prime destination for car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike. Whether you’re a longtime resident seeking a new vehicle or a newcomer searching for reliability, the Atlanta area offers a broad selection of pre-owned cars tailored to every need and budget. Here’s your go-to guide for finding the perfect pre-owned car near Atlanta.

Why Opt for a Pre-Owned Car?

Choosing a pre-owned car comes with numerous benefits:

Cost-Effectiveness: Pre-owned cars are typically more affordable than new ones. This means you can get more for your money, potentially affording a higher-end model or additional features.

Depreciation: New cars experience significant value loss in their initial years. By purchasing a pre-owned car, you avoid this steep depreciation, preserving more of your investment.

Diverse Choices: The pre-owned market features a wide range of makes and models, from recent releases to classic favorites. This diversity can be especially useful if you’re searching for specific features or styles that may be challenging to find new.

Where to Find Pre Owned Cars in Atlanta

Atlanta’s extensive metro area provides numerous avenues for purchasing a pre-owned vehicle. Here are some top options:

1. Local Dealerships

Many local dealerships specialize in pre-owned vehicles and offer certified pre-owned (CPO) programs. These programs often include extended warranties and rigorous inspections, adding an extra layer of reassurance. Notable dealerships in the Atlanta area include:

Hennessy Lexus of Atlanta: Renowned for its extensive collection of luxury pre-owned vehicles.

Jim Ellis Toyota of Atlanta: Offers a broad selection of certified pre-owned Toyotas and other brands.

Lexus of Marietta: Features a diverse inventory of pre-owned cars with exceptional customer service.

The digital age has transformed car shopping. Websites like Autotrader, Cars.com, and CarGurus allow you to filter searches by location, price, make, and model. These platforms also offer user reviews and detailed vehicle history reports, making it easier to make an informed decision.

3. Car Auctions

For those seeking bargains, local car auctions can be a treasure trove. Auctions such as those conducted by Atlanta Auto Auction and Manheim Atlanta provide a wide variety of pre-owned vehicles. While auction buying can be less predictable, it can also offer significant savings.

4. Private Sellers

Purchasing directly from private sellers can sometimes result in better prices. Platforms like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace feature listings from individuals in the Atlanta area. However, it’s crucial to have any vehicle purchased from a private seller inspected by a trusted mechanic to avoid potential issues.

What to Consider When Buying a Pre-Owned Car

Here are some key tips for shopping for a pre-owned vehicle:

Vehicle History Report: Always review the vehicle’s history using services like Carfax or AutoCheck to ensure it hasn’t been in major accidents or sustained significant damage.

Inspection: Have the car thoroughly inspected by a certified mechanic to uncover any potential issues before finalizing your purchase.

Test Drive: A test drive is essential to evaluate the car’s performance and comfort. Pay close attention to how the car handles, brakes, and accelerates.

Warranty: While pre-owned cars may not come with a manufacturer’s warranty, many dealerships offer extended warranties or service plans for added security.

Conclusion

Whether you’re in search of a dependable commuter, a spacious family SUV, or a sleek luxury vehicle, the Atlanta area is rich with pre-owned car options. By exploring local dealerships, online platforms, and car auctions, and by following best practices for purchasing, you can find a vehicle that meets your needs and fits your budget.
