Goldmine magazine has started a video series on youtube exploring various record archives & collections. The first two in the series happen to feature two places that have played a role in keeping my time occupied over the last 12 months or so - the Archive of Contemporary Music in Tribeca downtown, and WFMU in Jersey City. If you've ever been curious about either place this will give you the scoop you've been looking for. Here's the Archive - WFMU will be up next.
This is video number two in the series "Record Spins with Michael Cumella". Each month, Michael seeks out stories, exhibitions or speaks with collectors and shares these record-centric stories through videos. This episode takes us to The Archive of Contemporary Music whose lofty goal is to collect EVERY record distributed in the USA! A lofty goal but with over 2,000,000 in their possession, they are well on their way! For more info and videos, go to www.goldminemag.com.
