Yo!ThreadHead Records!-great article, even better work by all of you at TH Records. outside of reading about your efforts i really havent done a thing to help but promise in the very near future that i will definitely support you supporting others by helping them support themselves by buying some of the musical work being done by the growing and truly impressive "roster of TH Artists".
for what its worth while following the thread i got a nasty spam bomb when i linked on doubledown's link explaining what yahoo buzz is. bomb occurred when i clicked off of yahoo- Not pointing any fingers, but it was a real fng drag.had to hard shut down and reboot-very unpleasant.
anyways dont want to shit on a rainbow.great work.when they say website community, y'all are what they mean.
peace & musica-btr

to all, I gotta tell you....today is a thrilling day. Stereophile (April 2009), a national "high end audio/music magazine" came out today (not on their website yet)...no less than THREE articles related to the musicians, New Orleans and THR.....the main one (and also shown on their cover) is called "Rockin' New Orleans! Paul Sanchez's Rolling Road Show." That article includes a separate inset article of reviews of various CD's (most of them on the THR roster). The third article, on the inside back cover, is called "They Know What It Means....To Miss New Orleans" and it's all about THR....and the writer (Robert Baird) wrote the best article I've read to date about what we are doing. He completely nailed it. The article on Paul is fantastic, as well!

I will check that out. I was a subscriber back in my audiophile days, I thought they were long gone.

I should say that ALL of the album reviews in the inset article are THR artists....not most.

Hey Chris - I want to buy all of the new Threadhead cd's being released. Would it help THR to buy them at the record tent at Fest, to help them move up on the "most cd's sold at fest" list? If not, I'll just order them online at LMF.

Awesome Threadheads, This just keeps getting bigger and better all the time. I think last Jazz Fest it was just a thought, look at it now.

I don't think it matters....buy early and buy often!
