  1. Thanks guys. Hoping for a copy of the new Natural Information LP!
  2. It's kind of sad that we are being presented with basic arithmetic online these days as if it were something more than the first day of fifth grade math class.
  3. In graphics, no. They cannot truly recreate something that is not there, but they can do an incredible job of interpolating from existing data. Yeah, mine was a serious question as well. I don't know the answer.
  4. That's how it works in the graphics world, and with great result.
  5. Reminiscent of this: http://cecilmcbee.jp/ At least they could've had the dignity to call themselves Lonesome Dragon, right? Or Rakalam! In my experience, RSD orders arrive Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. We stocked Friday night after closing.
  6. Go for the beaches, stay for the hat hut.
  7. SQUIDCO. Wilmington NC. I've been to both. SQUIDCO offers a very different experience.
  8. It only seems slightly funny because I'm semi-knowledgeable about jazz. Maybe that is also why it seems like it drags for four minutes.
  9. It's a beautiful interpretation.
  10. Note the date of the show and of the original post! I'm listening to Monte Ball's AUDs of the 73 RFK shows today. Great music. Great atmosphere!
  11. You may be surprised once you do to find out that it is the same crew of musicians. I didn't want you to think the rest of the new record sounded like Rock And Roll Is Cold! If you have a turntable, the vinyl sounds wonderful. I haven't done an A/B comparison or anything official, but the mix is much different. Maybe it's the mastering. I don't know. Much much more sonic detail and stage than on Spotify, though I've probably listened to it on Spotify three or four times to the vinyl's once through. Same stereo. Anyway, glad you are enjoying the music. Trey Pollard, who writes all of the string arrangements, is an incredible pedal steel and very inventive electric guitarist.
  12. That's great mjazzg! I think you will really enjoy the new one. Don't skip the EP Outer Face either. Are you familiar with the Fight The Big Bull record on Clean Feed Dying Will Be Easy? The Natalie Prass record is GORGEOUS. She is going to have a big year.
  13. That's kind of funny. I have a handful of friends who AREN'T into music that will call me from time to time to tell me that they were at Panera or you name it and they really liked the jazz that was playing. I remember one time specifically when a friend had a particularly good signal. I responded "Of course you like it. Everybody does! That's Herbie Fucking Nichols!" Result: iTunes purchase. He has at least one full album of Herbie Nichols, and probably no other jazz in his "collection." I did turn that same friend on to Nilsson does Newman though. I had a shot and I took it.
  14. I can guarantee that Kendrick's record sells very well. Flying Lotus' last record YOU'RE DEAD is in a similar vein. There is jazz all over it, but I doubt jazz fans are the ones buying it because it is classified as hip-hop or electronic.
  15. Thanks guys! We texted back and forth. I think it was surreal for him to be watching himself on national television at 1am last night. Here is a link to last nights performance: http://youtu.be/zrDO5jEefcI Here is a link to a video of the studio version (NSFW language): http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2edaik_matthew-e-white-rock-n-roll-is-cold-lyric-video_music And here is a link to a live show from last week featuring full strings, horns, chorus, percussion: http://wfuv.org/audio/archives/fuv-live/matthew-e-white-fuv-live-bric-arts-media-center-2015 Hard to find any similarities to the album they released on Clean Feed a few years ago! They are smart guys, and great musicians. It is probably not lost on anybody here that we have well-accomplished musicians playing a straight up twelve bar pop tune on Letterman in 2015! If interested, I can link to a couple of other records that they have arranged and produced for Natalie Prass and Joe Westerlund.
  16. It may not be jazz the way y'all want it, but Kendrick Lamar is either betting against the idea that people don't like jazz, or he doesn't care.
  17. With his band Matthew E. White. Many of you may know them as Fight The Big Bull. This project stemmed from an LP that was released a couple of years ago called Big Inner. It was recorded to tape over two weeks to showcase the abilities that Spacebomb Records had to offer singers and songwriters: live rhythm tracks by the house band, horn arrangements, string arrangements, vocal arrangements all performed by Richmond VA musicians, recorded to analog. The record actually took off, out-growing its original intention as a calling card with multiple pressings and larger label support, FTBB took hiatus, momentum grew. Last year was spent touring in support of Big Inner, recording a few records, and preparing for the second MEW album Fresh Blood. Fresh Blood was released last week to a very receptive music press and opportunities have stepped up yet another notch. Tonight, my little brother and his closest friends will be playing rock and roll (Paul Shaeffer guesting) on The Late Show With Dave Letterman.
  18. Looking for recommendations on music that will hot-stamp my E-spot.
  19. How could you read about the video, yet not watch it? I will blame it on poor writing.
  20. Are there nerve-endings in my ears that I am unaware of?
