  1. I'm assuming that Jim DeJong is no longer there? rod
  2. read the "questions from other buyers" at the bottom too! Bullish
  3. Yeah, it's all up in the air about their lifespan I think. Better nowadays than before because of all of the improvements. The Epson uses some kind of special ink mix that doesn't smear - which is real nice! You can save a few bucks by buying bulk on the discs - they have to say "inkjet printable" on it when you buy 'em. - and you find that you use more than you ever thought you would, so buying a couple hundred doesn't appear to be an awful lot after you get playing with them rod by the way, take care of that flu. Lots o'fluids! I'm on the second and, hopefully, final day of something like it. It's somewhere between a really bad head cold and flu.
  4. Thanks for the compliment. Direct to disc printing definitely! I've tried a bunch of those other kinds and I've known folks who can't play them in their laptops because of the wobble. First, it was labels - those white thickish things, then I thought I had it licked when i found those real thin - kinda see-thru labels - nope, no matter how centered and good it looked, it still couldn't put up with the speed. (don't discs move at something like 4 or 500 rpms?) rod
  5. Deus, those look great! Jazzbo's right - very European looking! (not sure what that is, but, it has that feel) Love this Epson R800. Lots o' fun creating graphics (though I'm not a graphics person). A friend of mine created an experimental video based on the New York Subway system and wanted to have a "wallpaper" version made on DVD. For graphics, I decided to have both the cover and disc pics blurred (train motion, etc...) He's happy with the results and that's what counts:
  6. Well, I was thinkin that it was much too early, but Carn used to be "Young"ish, I think, in style. No light shed here, but an artcle/review at AAJ: Buddwing Anyway, great tracks! rod
  7. I think we have more of a Ralph Spoilsport on our hands... rod --- Now playing: Curtis Amy - Lonely Woman
  8. I say take it out and play it! ...but that's just me, of course... OK, so, I'm assuming you've got this because it's a "piece" and having it is more important than playing it, SO... ...what I've always understood is that shrinkwrap is a magnet to heat and shrinkwrapped covers (and, possibly, the LP too depending on your climate) will begin to bow. I don't think that ringwear is really a result of shrinkwrap - unwrapped covers can get ringwear - it's more of a storage problem that produces ringwear. ...but I could be wrong about this... Rod --- Now playing: Jimmy Lyons - Never
  9. To add to Chuck's comment. I didn't get the Patton until 7 months after it was out and I got #0022. rod --- Now playing: Curtis Amy - If I Were A Bell
  10. Yeah, I've heard a lot about Shoutcast. It took a while to find a Mac version (which didn't exist for a long time), but after finding it, I found it's a bit difficult for Mac installation - not very Mac friendly. Thanks tho, Rod --- Now playing: Jimmy Smith - C-Jam Blues
  11. Yup, let's fill up those ears! Right now, only 3 or 4 people can listen at the same time and the only way to allow more listeners is to dumb down the quality of the broadcast or find an audio server website that would host it. So, I'm looking for that possibility... Rod --- Now playing: Baby Huey - Hard Times
  12. I'm planning on a random round-the-clock broadcast of all 16 Selects after the Hill arrives. At least a two day affair. Info will follow if anybody cares. Rod --- Now playing: Curtis Amy - In Your Own Sweet Way
  13. Looking for a free or cheap server site that I can use for broadcasting (other than Live365). I'm on a Mac using iTunes, and the iCast servers won't work with iTunes. For a few months, I've been broadcasting from my desktop using a built-in server, but it'd be nice to be able to accept more than 3 or 4 listeners at a time during these "rodcasts." Suggestions welcome! Thanks ahead of time, Rod --- Now playing: Jimmy Lyons - Repertoire Riffin'
  14. His wife whispered sweet nothings into them and they whispered back! rod --- Now playing: Jimmy Lyons - Repertoire Riffin'
  15. Never Have Liked --- Now playing: Andrew Hill - Invitation
  16. Wow, I guess I'm lucky! Over the past 17 years, Sharon and I have gone to see a variety of bands/performers that've included Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor, Pharoah Sanders, Fela, Shivkumar Sharma (w/ Zakir Hussain), a.o. and she's loved 'em! As a matter of fact, in '93, it was her - with tears - who told me that Sun Ra had just died. Taking her to one of these Wire sponsored Empty Bottle performances would be no problem at all. Rod --- Now playing: Joey DeFrancesco with Jimmy Smith - Blues for Bobby C.
  17. OK, I'll go with Mark E. Smith: You don't have to be weird to be wired You don't have to be a died hair punk funk shit-hot fucked up tick-tock pad You don't have to be strange to be strangled When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro -- Totally Wired --- Now playing: Arne Nordheim - Draumkvedet (excerpt 1)
  18. Are "Midnight Sun" (Mercer, et al.) lyrics allowed? Rod --- Now playing: Chaan Siang Phin feat. Mon Siang Phin - Wasana Gam Par (Could You Love Me?)
  19. Does Horst Jankowski count as kitsch? Rod --- Now playing: Dexter Gordon - I Told You So
  20. Clarify: When I placed my last order, I asked for the Hill too. Since it didn't come with yesterday's shipment, I wrote to ask whether I needed to reorder the Hill or will it just come when it comes out. That quote was their answer. rod --- Now playing: Dexter Gordon - Gingerbread Boy
  21. From Mosaic about the Andrew Hill: "No need to reorder and we expect to ship at the end of this week." Regards, Mosaic Records --- Now playing: Dexter Gordon - Come Rain Or Come Shine
