Comedian Phyllis Diller dies at 95
rostasi replied to rostasi's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
• Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight. • A bachelor is a guy who never made the same mistake once. • Burt Reynolds once asked me out. I was in his room. • I want my children to have all the things I couldn't afford. Then I want to move in with them. • My mother-in-law had a pain beneath her left breast. Turned out to be a trick knee. • My photographs don't do me justice - they just look like me. • We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up. • The reason women don't play football is because eleven of them would never wear the same outfit in public. • My recipe for dealing with anger and frustration: set the kitchen timer for twenty minutes, cry, rant, and rave, and at the sound of the bell, simmer down and go about business as usual. • Health - what my friends are always drinking to before they fall down. • Housework can't kill you, but why take a chance? • There's a new medical crisis. Doctors are reporting that many men are having allergic reactions to latex condoms. They say they cause severe swelling. So what's the problem? • Old age is when the liver spots show through your gloves. • You know you're old if they have discontinued your blood type. • Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age -- as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight. -

OK hipsters, be honest. Who amongst you knew of Rodriguez
rostasi replied to robertoart's topic in Artists
The first two LPs were on Sussex, but later were distributed by Buddah <sic>. Probably one of the greatest Sussex LPs was the Live Bill Withers double. Lean On Me was on that label too. Sixto's Australian LPs were on Blue Goose (not the "Yazoo" Blue Goose). Rodriguez would pull a "Miles" onstage and play with his back to the audience, so that may have not helped his career. I've often wondered how his records would've sounded if he had had David Axelrod as his arranger and producer. -

Thanks for the info. "Coming from Reality" is another good one from the early 70's. Being in Australia, you probably knew of his rare live album. Strange, it was presented in limited edition there, but I was able to snag a copy while working for a distributor here in the States. I guess this film and the Ai Weiwei film will be the two I see this year. -
It's no longer "Kraft", but "Mondelez" ("mohn-dah-LEEZ")

Update: "Dear improv lovers, Good news, we have hit the 300 reservations-mark! We are now in the process of putting together the photobook with Pieter Boersma and gathering all the materials that will make up the boxed catalogue. We've got some photos to show you our progress." "At your request we will offer the possibility to pick up the box at a special event. We are working towards a date at the end September, but exact date, time and location will be revealed in our next update." "A few details that were not yet certain when we opened for reservations have now been confirmed. The box will contain some never before released material from a radio broadcast marking the birth of ICP, baptized ICP000. With this new addition to the catalogue, the total number of discs in this box will be 52 cd's and 2 dvd's!" "The box will also contain a blueprint of the fabled 'camel-chair' as constructed during ICP's performance of 'Met welbeleefde groet van de kameel' (With Sincerest Regards from the Camel)." http://www.icporchestra.com/icpbox/

Les McCann - invitation to openness (1972)
rostasi replied to slide_advantage_redoux's topic in Artists
I agree. I think there's a "spacier" improvised vibe to ITO using a Rhodes than there was using an Arp Odyssey on Layers. -
Are you taking a piss behind that barn?

Urologist Charged With Being a Subway Pervert
rostasi replied to T.D.'s topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
only if it's in bush country. little did she know that he was dyslexic. -
This came out over 5 years ago. It's not as good as the Nina Simone, because the mixers did too much messing about with her voice. Mostly 30's material if I remember right.

rostasi replied to alocispepraluger102's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Knowing (or "knowing of") someone may have little difference between the two realms, but I was referring more to the idea of "knowing = friendship" that is often assumed in social media. -
Futurama coming back to network TV in 2010
rostasi replied to ejp626's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
I got an email a couple of hours ago that my old band has recorded three songs for tonight's episode of Futurama. Since I don't have cable (and I really thought that this show was cancelled years ago), does anyone know if they archive recent episodes online somewhere? Thanks. -

Wow. OK, this is news to me. This all surfaced when I was away from here for a year. Man...really gets you thinking (again) about these social "friendships" that people go on about. Didn't know him except seeing him here and, I think, on JazzCorner, but I have to hope that he had no direct deleterious effect on any of you here. I say "direct" because I can't help but think there's got to be some "psychic" healing that needs to be attended to if one is to take these social forums earnestly. I don't know what else to say... -

Had no idea that you had a blog. I've tried to get that "infinite scrolling" script to work on my site to no avail. It's a shame about New Albion, but it would seem that the possibilities still exist and they're unable or unwilling to adapt. Some of those releases are so old, that they could conceivably be seen as introductions for a new generation of listeners. oh well...
