DevO Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 A trip to the Passport Canada office today found me going for a stroll through Jackson Square, just to see what's left of it. I haven't walked through that mall in years and it actually had more going on than I thought it would, even though its about 80% dollar stores, discount womens' clothing and lottery ticket booths. Also of note, they moved the food court down to the main level. I wandered into the library and walked out with some great stuff.. You can take out 50 items at a time! This was all I could carry though:CDs:- Singing for Life: Songs of Hope, Healing, and HIV/AIDS in Uganda (Smithsonian Folkways)- Ouganda: Aux sources du Nil (1992 Radio France)- Fela Kuti & Afrika 70 - Opposite People- Art of Field Recording: 50 Years of traditional music documented by Art Rosenbaum- Willie P Bennett - Hobo's Taunt- Charles Mingus - Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Minges- Duke Ellington in Hamilton (live at The Forum, 8 Feb 1954)- Bashraf - Taarab Instrumentals from Zanzibarbooks:Around the World in 57.5 Gigs - Dave Bidinidvd:Beastie Boys - Awesome: I Shot That!(2004 gig at MSG, they distributed 50 cams to fans, then compiled the footage into one concert film)Long live public libraries and Jackson Square!

thomson Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) I love love love public libraries! I started borrowing discs from the biblio when I was in high school - much of my musical education came for my precious library card. Such an under-used resource for music, and films.

Guest Low Roller Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 The Dirt is a fantastic read surprisingly, given the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 My buddy is a head librarian (odd, yes ) and he ordered tons of great music CDs and DVDs when he was working in Mississauga. Anyone want to find a decent collection (with Phish live releases, Dick's Picks, etc. ) check out the Churchill Meadows Branch Library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
