  1. Could it be John Lennon? The nose is very much his, glasses too.
  2. The last I checked, the classic Coltrane Quartet albums were still in print and readily available.
  3. I like Hermann Scherchen Brandenburgs.
  4. Alas, Joseph de Maistre's "Every nation gets the government it deserves" rings true for both countries.
  5. I wish Croats all the best, but it might as well be a high point that would take them a while (if ever) to surpass. Remember that they weren't even the top in their qualification group (Iceland was). The keeper seemed like he wasn't feeling well, maybe his injury in 1/4 final with Russia finally got to him. If so, it was a big gamble for Dalić to let him play. He could have clearly tried to save the last two- yet he was standing still as the ball whizzed by.
  6. Perhaps just so that Americans won't mistake those for Paris, TX, Berlin, NH or London, OH, etc
  7. What a start to Croatia- Denmark game. 1:1 after only 4 minutes of play.
  8. До свидания, España! Gritty win by Russians- probably the only way they could pull it off. Glad Spain is out- their game is unbearable to watch. 1000+ passes = 5 shots on goal hardly makes a winning formula.
  9. Btw, the first goal by Koreans is a good pro argument for VAR.
  10. Too bad Koreans had no chance to advance. But Mexico owes them A LOT. Didn't see that game but looks like Sweden just torn them apart...yet they're still marching on...Probably not far with a game like that.
  11. Perhaps the worst day for Germany since May 9, 1945. Meanwhile, Mexicans totally owe their good fortune to Koreans. What a start to a day! Is it too much to ask for Serbs to play like Koreans against Brazil?
  12. I was watching Portugal- Spain game in the main public square of Lisbon (Praca do Commercio). The vibe there was unbelievable, very positive, even when Spain took the lead.
  13. France-Denmark- what a disgrace! Hope both will be eliminated in the round of 16.
  14. I believe it was never issued on CD in US, but there is European import issued by Bellaphon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ekaya-Home-Abdullah-Ibrahim/dp/B0043VPV5Q The compilation CD "Mountain" has all but one track from the aforementioned album. https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-mountain-mw0000654039
  15. It's a Blue Gravy Train edition.
  16. Actually, it's easier to find Plugged Nickel set at decent price now, than, say, 5-7 years ago- unless you mean a Mosaic vinyl copy. I got a sealed copy of CD set for $80 on Amazon last year.
  17. Perhaps you're right, Scott. Most likely the drop in Mosaic prices is a part of a broader trend of people bailing on CDs as medium, transferring their music to ephemera of computer files. Well, I remember 90's being a golden time for second-hand LP hunters. Not anymore. Maybe something similar will happen to CD. Maybe not. I've never thought about buying music as investment- discovering a lot of various interesting music in affordable ways is what I'm after.
