iPhone iSux... - will not use the same OS X that you use on your laptop - so your apps won't run in it - only Apple will be making apps for the iPhone -- i.e. no 3rd party apps planned as of yet - doesn't have external storage capability - uses DRM as does the iPod - doesn't have GPS - locked to Cingular service in the US - costs way too much read: http://www.boingboing.net/2007/01/14/iphon..._roach_mot.html check out: http://openmoko.com/press/index.html

Oh man, how could I forget! I found a website a few years ago that belonged to Bill Robinson and he was still going along pretty much the same path. He'd also rally about the evils of processed sugar (he was right! ) and, at one point, had convinced some friends of mine to go macrobiotic. The prob was that their idea of macrobiotic was just brown rice. ...and I got a call from Terrell a couple of years ago because he had a dream that one of our friends had died and wanted to see if I had his phone number so he could confirm or deny. He's still into AmerIndian sorcery and lifestyles that I don't understand, but hey that floats the boat of some folks out there. R A Wilson is another one of those guys that you pretty much devote a lot of time to or practically none at all I think. I met him once while I was a DJ for WZRD in Chicago and the absolute fawning of his devotees was a combination of embarrassment and sickening adulation. The interview with him wasn't a very even-handed affair - to put it mildly.

Damn Damn Damn! Strange coincidence because I was just thinking this morning about how difficult it was getting the Trane sweatshirt that I'm now wearing from the Trane "church" back in the early 90's. Man, what a day this has been so far... May you ride that lovely sky boat.

Thanks brownie for the images. These are the same kind of great jazz artist images that I saw in that stamp shop in Köln. It made me want to consider stamp collecting, but then I realized that I didn't want to start funneling money into a new hobby.

Thank you very much. Did you search http://www.archive.org/ to find this post? I didn't realize this thread was exclusively about U.S. stamps. Just being facetious. The link that I sent you to is the very same thread that we are now posting in. (see post #4 above).

I've had days like that...

David will make a composition based on Jim's picture attachment.

I'm sure that they do in other areas of the world too. While in Germany, I was visiting a stamp shop where there were many stamps in honor of jazz artists and many were from African countries.

There's a series of large postcards that honor Legends of American Music that are quite nice. Below, you can see the names listed for the first volume. The second volume featured Armstrong, Basie, Eubie Blake, Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, James P. Johnson, Clyde McPhatter, Bird, Ma Rainey, Jimmy Rushing, Clara Ward, Dinah Washington, and Howlin' Wolf. Each with their individual bios:

Yeah, I didn't know that there was an earlier version of the Trane stamp. (Hey, is this legal - reproducing stamps? )

Yeah, that'll go far!

It took so long because here in the US, you have to be dead for at least 10 years before you can get on a stamp - unless you're an ex-President. Her ten years was this summer, so... My question is where is the Miles stamp? Those jazz stamps are great! I still have a few hundred of those! Rod

Yup, here it is - straight from the Wiki's mouth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDDB#How_CDDB_Works --- Now playing: Frank Wright - Live in NYC (Part One)

Wellll, actually...she's right! The CDDB does just that. I've made CD-R versions of LPs without embedding any info and after the disc is loaded up, it shows what CD it is because there's already been an official CD release of it in it's database complete with song lengths in that particular order. It can sometimes be real cRaZy if you only have a single long track. The database usually shows up with multiple choices - usually of someone's techno remix project. --- Now playing: Derek Bailey - No East

Have thought long and hard about a Braxton Arista rodcast with some Moers and maybe a few other hard to get items. Maybe I can fish some of this out in the next week or so... --- Now playing: Ghedalia Tazartes - Il regalo della Befana

Wow! I had no idea. Never used the iTunes store before, but I had to go over there and check his review. Thanks Lon - It's a nice review of a wonderful CD. Actually surprised to see this (and some others of hers) listed. Rod --- Now playing: Soft Machine - Slightly All The Time

Apparently Chronicles wasn't exempt either.

WOW! I thank ya! Always wondered about these Blindfold thingies! Rod --- Now playing: David Murray - Joanne’s Green Satin Dress
