Before we get to this weeks selection I’d like to send a special shout out to DJ B and J Waits who mentioned my blog on their blog. DJ B is a two-year old DJ in training who reviews public library selections out of San Francisco. Check it out: http://djblibrarytour.blogspot.com/

My final review for you is Golden Afrique Vol. 3
Call # CD MA GOLD

Stay tuned till Sunday night when the final post of Pimping the Public Library will appear.

This week on Pimping the public library we discuss the art of Surf music. The rumors are true, I often find myself dancing around my apartment to the Ventures or the Surfaris pretending that I am at a beach party. My pick for the week just might make that activity come alive for you: Dick Dale King of Surf Guitar: the best of Dick Dale and his Del-Tones.

Like I said, a note on box sets: the library has them. Lots of them and they contain lots of free music. I have checked out many a box set in my day. Many times I don't know it is a box set until I get what I requested and at times it is more music than I want to deal with- But sometimes it is not.

Some box sets I have gotten from the Austin Public library have included a Blind Lemmon Jefferson 5 disc set (call # CD MJ JEFF) and Left of the Dial: Dispatches from the 80's Underground (call # CD MA LEFT)

You say: F#$% you Ana, the library doesn't have the CD I want! You think the library is soooo cool. How cool are you now, loser?
Well the first thing I would tell you is to calm the F#$5 down and then I would say read on gentle giant because this week on Pimping the Public library we take a look at the interlibrary loan.

This weeks selection is incidental but I'll tell you what I got anyway.
