Norton Records’ warehouse is in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Nuff said.
So along with a bunch of other folks, I came down to help them get stuff salvaged and sorted ‘post-Sandy.
Run by Miriam Linna and her husband Billy, Norton puts out music that, not to put too fine a point on it, gives me pretty much non-stop joy in sub 3-minute bursts.
You can hear more stuff like this on WFMU’s Fools’ Paradise, (and it’s host, Rex, was there helping, too). Not for nothing, but Tom Hanks is a fan.
They are still in need of assistance. If you’re in the Brooklyn area, and want to help, contact me for more info.
Needless to say, if you also (or only) want to help storm efforts in other ways, do that.
