Winnipeg 26....Montreal 13 Surprisingly competitive game for three quarters. The Bombers led 16-13 after three. The Bombers lost two receivers (Sterns and Demski), and needed to put in Streveler to line up at halfback. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/08/21/recap-winnipeg-26-montreal-13/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/brady-oliveira-leads-winnipeg-blue-bombers-to-win-over-struggling-montreal-alouettes-1.2349005 https://www.cfl.ca/2025/08/21/brady-oliveira-leads-bombers-over-injury-plagued-als/ https://3downnation.com/2025/08/22/montreal-alouettes-get-run-over-by-reigning-mop-in-loss-to-bombers-six-other-thoughts/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-scores-today-winnipeg-blue-bombers-26-montreal-alouettes-13-brady-oliveira-powers-bombers-past-injury-hit-als/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/08/21/3-stats-that-defined-winnipegs-week-12-win-over-montreal/ ***** Week 12 Game Notes https://www.cfl.ca/2025/08/22/game-notes-what-you-need-to-know-ahead-of-week-12-2/ ***** Week 12 previews https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/ottawa-redblacks-3-7-week-12-preview-vs-edmonton-elks-3-6-prediction-depth-chart-injuries-odds/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-schedule-today-august-22nd-2025-edmonton-elks-vs-ottawa-redblacks-tv-channels-live-stream-odds/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-schedule-today-august-22nd-2025-edmonton-elks-vs-ottawa-redblacks-tv-channels-live-stream-odds/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-week-12-edmonton-elks-3-6-at-ottawa-redblacks-3-7-game-preview-injury-report-and-predictions/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/08/22/3-keys-to-victory-for-bc-toronto-in-week-12/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/game-preview-calgary-stampeders-6-3-vs-saskatchewan-roughriders-8-1/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/08/22/3-keys-to-victory-for-saskatchewan-calgary-in-week-12/ https://3downnation.com/2025/08/22/calgary-stampeders-lose-top-receiver-dominique-rhymes-regain-rookie-damien-alford-for-clash-with-riders/ https://3downnation.com/2025/08/22/saskatchewan-roughriders-have-chance-to-become-first-9-1-team-in-franchise-history/ ***** The Argos have acquired long snapper Simon Chaves from the Ticats for a draft pick.

Yup, I need to switch from vinyl mode to CD mode, different criteria. I normally purchase vinyl.

I haven't really used AI besides Google search ai summaries, ai summaries of comments on articles in newspapers etc. Those are often useful if not exactly brilliant. As a whole I find AI to be in its infancy and interesting if not quite ready for prime time. Unfortunately the way AI is being developed now it is a huge electricity hog which has already made electric power more expensive and promises to continue to do so. There are a lot of ecological and safety problems around this technology which are not being addressed.

Next up: Gene Ammons - Big Bad Jug (Prestige, 1973)

Took a while to warm up the stereo today. We lost power sometime in the early morning and we were out a few hours. I spent part of that time messing with my Martin 00-15M which hasn’t been out of the case for a spell. Then the power came back and I spent time reseting the softener timer, oven clock, etc. A few things weren’t working so it was down in the root cellar again this time flipping fuses. . . two were tripped. Sigh. Luckily no damages, everything is functioning but by then Lucinda was awake and we were eating and watching the news etc. Started off with Duke Ellington on Nimbus, “From His Treasure Chest 1965 - 1972” . . . some stockpile recordings, some with Wild Bill Davis on organ. Then on to an SACD received yesterday, a new reissue of my favorite Joni Mitchell album. Joni Mitchell “Hejira” Mobile Fidelity Lab SACD

Crink Falton - The Woman Who Wouldn't Plat Bartok

More Jug: Gene Ammons - Free Again (Prestige, 1972)

I had quite an interesting interaction with AI today, with a jazz flavour. I was browsing Ebay for records the other day, and came upon a collection of 100 LPs. They were close to where I live so I messaged the seller to see if he had a list, or any more pics. He responded with a half-finished list of around 45 LPs. This excerpt contained all manner of the "big" modern jazz titles eg Speak No Evil, Song for My Father, Sidewinder, Idle Moments, Cool Struttin', Red Clay, Waltz for Debby, Brilliant Corners, Kind of Blue, Ah Um, Time Out, Saxophone Colossus, Blues & The Abstract Truth etc. A little strange, but I figured this must have been a curated collection, perhaps influenced by those "100 jazz albums you MUST listen to before you die" lists. In between the classics were the usual tiddlers; Oscar Peterson, Pablos, Lionel Hampton on Vogue, Jasmine reissues, Paul Desmond on A&M, Basie and Ellington etc. I bought the collection and arranged pick up for today. I didn't check the LPs on pick up, as I didn't feel the need. Anyway, once I opened the box when I got home, there were indeed 100 LPs, but all those big titles were missing. In the past I've bought LP collections off Ebay where the seller has removed items between listing and handing over, so I messaged the seller to tell him the LPs were missing. He was mystified, and sent me pictures of all the LPs in the collection, all in my box. It turned out that he had taken pics of every LP and uploaded them to Chat GPT to create a catalogue, presumably to save himself the bother of typing all that information himself. Chat GPT then simply invented a list of 100 jazz albums, pulling it out of its metaphorical arse. The seller, totally unfamiliar with jazz, thought nothing of it. He showed me a screenshot of him accusing Chat GPT of fabricating the list of records. It answered "You're right (name) I shouldn't invent records. Thanks for catching that" The seller offered a return, which I declined as the collection was decent anyway, so no harm done. Good job it wasn't reading my CT brain scan, or telling me whether the mushroom I foraged was poisonous....

happily sold my Rainbo pressing for the excellent new BNC. Big difference
