  1. Ah, meant to hit 6, not 5! Montreal 60! Always a chance!
  2. I always thought Season 2 was the best! But they are all good.
  3. Damn this is very sad news. Those first two albums were so good, such a unique sound for the time. What a collection of talent The Band was.
  4. Blue Rodeo (from Canada) Ryan Adams- his 90s band Whiskeytown, and his albums Heartbreaker, Cold Roses and Jacksonville City Nights.
  5. It's like she didn't even at least check Wikipedia before writing this! "If we review his career, we know that he started with Be Bop. His work with Art Blakey was “pace-setting.” But having mastered that he moved on to form his own group, Weather Report. During his stint with his group, his “quest” took him to Jazz Fusion. He’d go on to compose many jazz standards and refined modern Harmonic language."
  6. I've listened to so much of his music, so many times, I almost feel like a little part of me died with this news. Just so sad.
  7. Huh, I had no idea. I pretty much avoid youtube except for when a link is sent to me, so I wouldn't know of anyone "youtube famous". Good interview with Jarrett though.
  8. I'm a little puzzled by all the comments regarding this Beato guy. Did I miss something, who is he? I've never heard of him before this interview, so I don't have much opinion of him. Is he famous or something?
  9. thanks for posting this video. Fascinating!
  10. I don't know about those, but this is what I use: https://www.miir.com/products/travel-tumbler-360-lid-stainless-steel-vacuum-insulated?variant=39546732249162 I like it because the lid never leaks, as the lid itself screws into place, and the opening is a push button. I've carried this one sideways and even upside down while trying to get all of my stuff out of the car and there have been no leaks at all. I have found that other travel mugs eventually leak at the lid.
  11. I was really surprised at how good this set is, when coming to it from the perspective of the Fillmore East album. The multiple Billy The Mountains, Wille The Pimp and King Kongs have so much excellent music that makes this set the definitive version of this band, for me (and I really am not a fan at all of Flo & Eddie).
  12. this is a fantastic suggestion! I've learned a lot from his liner notes, and are always worth a re-read. Never a wasted word!
  13. I met the members of Organissimo, Chuck Nessa and a member named connoisseur series (I don't think he is on here anymore) at an Organissimo gig in Ann Arbor in I think 2004, and Chuck again at an Edgefest show featuring Muhal Richard Abrams and George Lewis a few years later. Also was supposed to meet Chris Albertson at an event where he was going to speak (I forget the topic) in 2003 but I had to drop out. Everyone was nice and friendly! Good times

    Zappa 1972 box

    Includes the albums in high res audio on Blu Ray too!
  15. Hard pass on this. But The Rising is a classic! Great rock album.
  16. If I was still in Ann Arbor I would definitely go see them
  17. It's more just the result of constant mutations that produces these variants of concern, than any strategy that the virus might have. SARS-CoV2 is an RNA virus, so it tends to mutate with very high frequency. If enough of those mutations result in a change that allows the virus to infect cells easier, or get around antibodies, or spread from host to host in higher numbers, then that will be come the dominant variant strain. So, it's mostly luck. With the possibility that omicron arose from an immunocompromised patient who was unable to fully clear the virus from their body and thus allow the virus to continuously undergo mutation until the sequence for omicron became established which could then spread through populations with low vaccination rates, it is more important than ever to get more people around the world vaccinated.
  18. Hamilton 45 Is the game later than usual this year? Isn't this typically in late November?
  19. just wanted to clear something up here. There is nothing related to aspirin in the Moderna, or the Pfizer vaccines. They each contain different lipid mixtures that make up the nanoparticle that delivers the mRNA to cells. The remainder is buffer.
