My two cents: A couple of days ago when the Evans box was up on their site, I ordered it. Today, I got an email telling me that the set is no longer in print and that my CC won't be charged. My guess about most everyone's order is that if the Coltrane were truly not in their stock, then you would've heard something by now. Maybe yes, maybe no, but this is just what happened to me. I think that they're swamped. Probably good idea to chill, listen to some stuff that you haven't gotten to yet and expect your order probably 3 to 4 weeks after you'd ordered it. It'll be a wonderful surprise when it shows up at your door.

Indeed, I wonder how long it'll take them to release this stuff (hopefully in unedited, un-overdubbed form).Don't have it handy now, but I seem to remember that the American version released it with two tracks (sides 1 and 2) Am I remembering this correctly? Patrick's comment about being an 8th grader - I remember this time well when a classmate named Scott borrowed Om and Kulu Se Mama from me and I had a hell of a time getting it back from him. I suppose it just goes to show that Om may just be a love it/hate it recording.

No, the correct response is, "He isn't jazz, he is instrumental pop. If you like it, fine, but it ain't jazz and never will be. I'd play you something that qualifies as jazz but it would make your putrid-tuned ears fall off." uh, Dan? Are you married?

ommmmmmmmm...i'm thinking...

You just KNOW that they're reading this and laughing!

Yup! He does for very different reasons.

Yup, it's still funny after all of these months later.

Sarah Vaughan makes me cry.

I like it! The logo is nice, the design is clean and straightforward. I like the fact that you put the Tribune props right near the top. and the links are well-placed and load quickly. and the latest news items at the top - really great without being artsy. I was gonna recommend putting the "contact" link at the end, but that's only because it's what nearly everyone does, so I've changed my mind

Great story! Thanks for sharing.

This is kind of a funky scanner photomerge of the first Miles LP I owned. Don't know the exact date that I got it - maybe 66 or 67? It's the reissue of The Original Quintet '55 session LP: Up to this time, I had only seen him live at the infamous Plugged Nickel gig of December '65 (the 22nd to be exact) and even tho the personnel was totally different, this cover photo reminded me of the gig - to my very young mind. The recording didn't disappoint! Rod

OMG! OMG! OMG! THIS IS THE ONE THAT I'VE BEEN CRAVING! (but, of course, you know that...) There's a special place in my brain that can bring up some of this session again and again with such utter delight. I was absolutely transfixed to the screen while watching this. Couldn't find it on youtube tho... Also: I think that there was a Barry Miles session too - doing, I think, his Cityscape fusion "suite" that was later released on Sky Train. I think I still remember the Jeremy Steig session with Howling for Judy too. We need 'em all on a DVD boxset! Rod

She has an excellent agent! She's noted for throwing tantrums and the Press eats it up.

YES! Unbelievably so! Yesterday at 4 PM too! only about a quarter inch each time tho... WFAA

I just had a guy show up at my door - in the pouring rain - about 15 minutes ago trying to sell me meat out of the back of his truck. It's 100 friggin degrees out and he's selling dead animals door-to-door

I shoulda known! Shoooop! Right over my head! It just seems that we're so inundated by PSAs and commercials and news items telling us what to watch out for - even when the odds are so incredibly remote. OK, I'll be watchin' for those little buggers... (why do I suddenly itch all over?)

indeed. and they are all waiting to jump on you the moment you stretch out that food filled hand to their antlered host... Yes, but using common sense...you check for these things after you've been out and about. If I remember what I heard thru the Nature Conservancy folks, you have to have them for a day or two before you actually contract LD. No deer here, but I like to go to a place where the deer do approach you which is a Conservancy owned property in NM. They've never reported any cases of LD. Again, I think that if you just use common sense and don't get so overwhelmed by the rhetoric, then one can enjoy our natural surroundings.

Yes, but that's transmitted by tics isn't it? Also, I can't go thru life bowing to fear tactics. Common sense gets you far. I still feed the birds despite bird flu noises. They still have birdbaths on property despite west Nile virus reports, etc...

Very cool! Having deer eat right out of your hand (or most any animal, I suppose) can be quite a thrill too!

The reefer madness of Stash recs comes alive again! Funny little label...

not a great pic, but you can see the hawk smack dab in the middle of this: Hawk
