[Rollins/Cherry Live Material Sought]

I'd like to either a) buy someone's grey-market releases of the famed Rollins/Cherry live material or b) trade someone for some cdrs of this material. The one caveat about doing a cdr trade is that I personally don't like trading copies of cd artwork (I don't like taking my rare cds/Mosaic booklets out of the house, on the subway, etc.) If you can help out, please let me know.

[Dude - Solve Us A Mystery]

I always figured it meant something like "this deserves special attention".

Thanks, dude! That's good enough for me!

Don't sweat it at all - in fact, if it takes any non-trivial amount of effort forget I ever mentioned it. If you can click a button and make it happen, cool. BTW, I really like this place and I hope we can bring people over here from AAJ. As you've probably noticed, some hostility/resentment is starting to bubble up over there.

[Top five favourite living jazz pianists]

I apologize for the very obscure reference, but can any NYers reading this remind me of the name of the Bud Powell-esque pianist who plays regularly at Small's?? I *always* forget the guy's name. Anyway, he makes my list, in addition to Herbie Hancock and McCoy Tyner. I'm tempeted to add Chick Corea, but I'm not very familiar with his more recent work.

Hey B3-er - Do you think it would be possible to add a link to "Today's Active Topics" at the bottom of every thread? I always browse through "Today's Active Topics" looking for interesting threads. If I post to a thread I can't get back to "Today's Active Topics" by just using the "back" button on my browser (unless I click it several times). This is a very minor issue, but I would find it handy to have the link at the bottom of each thread.

[How Big is Your Backlog, redux...]

I have a very small backlog right now - just four cds that need "devirginizing". Let's hope pharoahrock doesn't find this thread .

(Is it just me, or does the winking-smilie look a little goofy over here?)

[Funny email spam...]

Have you seen the Mad TV spoof of the Viagra commercial. The guy walks around knocking things off desks and knocking over glasses. It was pretty funny. Everytime I see the regular commercial, I can't help but think of the spoof. My wife wondered why I keep laughing at it.

Yeah, that was funny - but it was stolen from the movie Road Trip (which, if you're ever in the mood for moronic, adolescent humor, is actually pretty good).

[Those silly UPC stickers on fruit]

About the UPC codes on fruit: they usually rinse off under cold water. At least the ones from where I shop do.
