Go to the movie and tell us how it ends Allen. SPOILER ALERT: Monk dies at the end.

Jimmy Giuffre "7 Pieces"

Incidentally, a local shop has the 18 LP Japanese Box set that started it all. Is $250 a fair price? Edited: I see that Mosiac is auctioning a sealed version with a starting price of $199 ($11 shipping).

Huh. I grew up as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, but no pastor I heard preached with that level of intensity.

Sounds like Ishmael Reed (not a dis).

I did. I'm kind of meh on the ECMs, but I remember this one being a little more interesting. Must give it another listen.

Classic DC Go-go always makes me smile and be glad I'm alive.

Tim Berne?

Man, I don't think it'll ever come. Maybe I can sell my serial number (#37).

I don't necessarily consider myself a lurker, but I come mainly to learn all about chazz.

PM sent on the Braxton.

Do they still have the pornographic covers?

I have a suspicion their expanded selection may be a defunct store's old stock.

Because it will BLOW YOUR KIDS' MINDS!

He worked with the Replacements? Didn't know that. Was it at Twin Tone? That was the Replacements best work! RIP. No, it was Pleased to Meet Me on Sire.

The Love Bug?

...nah! Just kidding. Although a lot of that Blue Note stuff was "new" to me, being a Gen Xer.

Which reminds me of my Tower Sunset Boulevard acquisition of Tyrone Washington's 'Natural Essence' Toshiba for $18 + tax. I got mine at Tower in Greenwich Village at 4th and Broadway!!! Loved that place. Many current day musicians worked the jazz department. Duane Eubanks is one that comes to mind. It used to be a regular stop for me. Either a visit to the West 4th or 66th Street Tower was a ritual for me in my High School excursions into the City from exurban Connecticut in the 1980s.

Black Sabbath

It wasn't a dream, dude, it's true. When are you coming in to check them out? I shall be in your shop tomorrow afternoon. Break out the secret stash just for me.

I've really tried to dig what Miles was doing in this period, but nothing moves me from this era except Aura.

It's like if Derek Bailey was a redneck instead of a Yorkshireman.

The only time I ever went there (to kill time before a set at Iridium) they were charging collector's prices for run-of-the mill in-print, non-collectible CDs. Full price new CDs were $20 or so, and midline-priced discs which should be at no more than $11.98 were going for $15.

No, not at all. I have used Concord in the distant past. The credit card that was compromised I rarely use, and it was last used at a Burrito joint in Arlington Virginia.

That's what happened to me. The card was canceled immediately, & only a $3.50 charge had been made. That charge was removed & a new card is being sent. The mystery is where the card info. was obtained by the fraudster. At least the fraud alerts that credit card companies use seem to work. That happened to me this morning!
