DJ Sessions: Scavenging For Music From New York's Immigrant Communities
ResumeDJ Gary Sullivan likes to scavenge around his neighborhood of Astoria, Queens, looking for interesting CDs and cassettes from the area's immigrant communities. But he has noticed that some of his favorite stores are closing or no longer selling music, because people are listening to music online.
Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson talks with him about some of the music he found before stores closed or sold off their collections. Sullivan hosts "Bodega Pop Live" on WFMU's 24-hour stream "Give the Drummer Radio" out of New York City.
