So he's been mentioned in appropriate contexts all over the place over the years on here but never had his own thread, so let's correct that. Inspired by me -- finally -- picking up a copy of The Carl Stalling Project for 3 bucks at Amoeba. (I had rips and all but never did get the actual disc back then.)

An amazing synthesist! Pick up both volumes, you won't be disappointed.

If vol. 2 was there as well that would have happened!

Yeah, Stalling's pretty awesome. If you buy Blu-rays, there are some good sets of the classic Warner shorts worth getting too. (Basically the three Platinum volumes, and I think there's a Bugs Bunny set that's supposed to be really good but may have some overlap.) All the guys behind those cartoons were great and Stalling's no exception.

I include about one Carl Stalling bit in every mix, they tend to get a bit lost in the four hours though. he's related to Spike Jones and Raymond Scott in how he fits in there.
