See your humanity reflected in wails of grief & prayer from long lost lands. Blessed with an ear that could charm the sand into leaving Arabia, Ian Nagoski digs up bejeweled 78s from around the globe that have never been on cd or lp. And did you know that the shellac which coats 78s comes out of the butts of beetles found in Southeast Asia? Hopped up Polish fiddlers, swaying & aching odes to Serbian nationalism, early hits of Bollywood, rembetika hash house stars, and the early tourist attractions found along lush archipelagos.
