  1. What ECM titles, I couldn't see any in the New Releases list. Incidebntally, when the jazz selection palls, there is a lot of classical to explore. Much of my queue is classical now.
  2. Great find - congrats ! Are the shops in Israel that good, or was that a fluke?
  3. A romantic night in with the dog. What's so "uhhhh" about that?
  4. What do you charge for shipping of single discs to the USA? And if you don't do Pay Pal, what will you take? Would Amazon gift certificates as payment work?

    Also, I don't think anybody said that the documentary was in Dutch. Oddly enough, I thought it was just weirdly-accented English at first, which just solidifies my belief that Dutch is just misspelled English.

    How's that again? or Mother, Juggs, and Speed.
  7. NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONON Sorry, 5 Guys is shit. If you're in the DC area (the home base of 5 Guys) it's Ray's Hell Burger, where you can get marrow as a topping, among other things (just gimme bleu cheese).
  8. There was one on Passyunk that was selling some records in bad shape, but I was able to find a few diamonds. Mayhaps it was Beautiful World? Oh, and by all means eat at Jim's Steaks on South Street and John's Roast Pork.
  9. Because of what it is wearing.
  10. Holy moly, just heard this one the other day at a friend's and immediately ordered from Dusty Groove. Sooooooo good. iT'S FACKIN AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME.

How'd I do that??????????????????? That's an awesome quirk of the new software if I don't say so myself.
  11. True: In Catalan, there is no translation for "copyright infringement".
  12. Lester Young w/Basie Disc 1, and sitting in 200$ worth of pudding. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
  13. You guys getting snow down there? Everything in DC is cancelled, it seems.
  14. I had a paid-up subscription at the time of the last issue two years ago. Since then I have received nothing.
  15. RIP John and RIP CODA I think I'll go read some of the 60s-70s back issues I have.
  16. Oh god, some of those are hilarious! "Oscar Predator".
  17. A particularly egregious misleading description: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120526170251&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123 "Cover EX has some slight signs of wear". O RLY?
  18. That makes more sense. I was wondering what they would have done for 30 minutes in that era? Benny suddenly goes altissimo followed by chanting?
  19. His website makes no mention of his musical endeavors. Edit: Oh yes he does.
  20. BTW, I saw Jon Abbey thanked in Ben Ratliff's "Jazz Ear" (no snickering, it's good light bathroom reading). Funny, cause on "another jazz board" he was chased off for calling jazz a "historical genre".
  21. Murry Wilson shot Brian while wearing women's clothes?
  22. I have all his albums, because I find his music intriguing, and I really like Mahanthappa (saw him live with Amir El-Saffar and it was beautiful--very emotionally moving if anyone thinks this scene is "Too smart for you"). One problem with all his previous albums, except maybe Mother Tongue, was that they felt like work to listen to. It might be a result of the CD-era tendency to make an album as long as possible. However, the new one actually is fun to listen to. It has melodies (kinda!), and it's more memorable than the other albums. This sounds like a backhanded compliment, I know. But give it a try. I will say that I think the much-lauded Mike Ladd collaborations are TERRIBLE. I couldn't sell them back to the CD shop fast enough.
