Did any of you get two disc 9's? I have no Disc 8. hrruuumph...

Hey! I don't have to "click" to enlarge!

He's on what?

OK, so "jazz-funk" and not necessarily "soul-funk": There's a ton to recommend, but, for what I think may be your style: how about starting here with this series and sample the individual cuts on Amazon and then just go from there out: Blue Break Beats Some cuts will have some vocals, but they're just dressing.

OK...but, I'm curious...why are you going there for funk? I think lots of us here: Jsngry, SoulStation1, and others could hook you up with some realfunk!

God! I hate that pixie-ass shit! (sorry)

JazzKat: Could you tell us what it is you like about the James stuff you've heard so far? If you liked Two, then One could be your cup-o-tea. It doesn't have Patti Austin and it has Jon Faddis and Grover on it and is a bit "funkier" (but I cringe when I use that word and "Bob James" together). I like a lot of CTI stuff, but James always came off as pablum: narcotic arrangements and twee melodies that would later spur an "easy jazz" movement that continues to this day.

In a Spyro Gyra kind of way. ...or as a friend of mine used to call them: Sperm-o Germ-o Anyone remember the incessant clamour of James' "Westchester Lady" in the 70's?

Yes great website name! Just thinking of this show the other day. I had "spy" shows on my mind - Get Smart, I Spy and others while listening to some fantastic arrangements by Jerry Goldsmith, Morton Stevens, Walter Scharff, Gerald Fried and others from these 6 CDs of The Man from U. N. C. L. E. series. Classic opening to the show. RIP...

Rather uneventful... Not one drop of rain! We had lots of gusty winds. A few times while standing in the back yard, I had to hold on to something so that I didn't fall over and it wasn't even martini time! One thing that was kind of sad: we had a really big tree that was right in front of the house and it fell down into the creek. I had the window open in my studio and I heard a really loud ~CRACK~ sound. It was an old oak tree - about 60 ft (ca. 18 meters) tall with a trunk width of about 5 ft (1.5 meters). It had to have been at least 50 years old. So, now we have this "hole" in our view of the trees. In the morning when you open the front door, there's now a blinding amount of light!

Going thru some pix I took in Germany. I put 6 that may be of fun and interest to O-Forum members. #1-3: Club Funkadelic (Köln) #4-5: Club Boogaloo (Köln) #6: Lounge Lizards (band from Munich) (Munich) FunkJazz

Thanks for this. Funny, I was weeding thru old bookmarks the other day and came across this site and recording - real fun stuff! The transfer to iTunes doesn't need to be difficult. After control-clicking the tracks, just save them to your desktop. When you get all the tracks there, just highlight ALL of the tracks and drag the whole lot into iTunes (drop it on the word "library" or whatever you are calling your main library in your window on the left). iTunes'll suck those puppies up and you'll have fun listening afterwards!

My Dad always liked it under the table.

Dude - I live in Plano. about 20 miles north of Dallas, and there ain't no gas to be had right now. At least not as of this morning. People are going nuts filling up before there's a shortage, which is, of course, creating a shortage anyway. Go figure. Come over near White Rock. No lines and plenty of gas (well, I didn't see any signs that said they were out). I'm set on gas until November. I did do the regular grocery thing this morn and the shelves that normally have water are nearly empty- go figure

I suppose we can be thankful that he wasn't sitting around playing video games.

It's also the 4th largest city (population) in America. Many people don't realize this. Just behind Chicago, LA and NY.

The 200-foot-long toy rabbit lies on the side of the 5,000 foot high Colletto Fava mountain in northern Italy's Piedmont region. Viennese art group Gelatin designed the giant soft toy and say it was "knitted by dozens of grannies out of pink wool". Group member Wolfgang Gantner said: "It's supposed to make you feel small, like Gulliver. You walk around it and you can't help but smile." And Gelatin members say the bunny is not just for walking around - they are expecting hikers to climb its 20 foot sides and relax on its belly. The giant rabbit is expected to remain on the mountain side until 2025.

http://tinyurl.com/bryxj Dutch police and park rangers have admitted they are powerless to stop a growing trend of outdoor sex orgies. In the latest incident, a large group of people were found romping naked on a beach in the Bussloo area of the country. They including 10 couples who were being "particularly boisterous" with each other while the others watched. But police called to the scene admitted they were powerless to act despite numerous complaints from other beach users, and could only give the naked orgy lovers a verbal warning. The head of one of Holland's biggest national parks says the problem is getting worse and has called for the government to make clear guidelines on outdoor sex orgies to allow police to act. Eric Droogh, who is director at the Veluwe National Park, said: "A national debate on wild sex parties in the countryside is essential. "Police and park wardens currently have too little scope to intervene. The only possibility is to catch the transgressors red-handed. "Outdoor sex is now commonly occurring in national parks and other public places. In some cases they just stopped beside the road in the picnic area or a meadow for the orgies." He called for clearer guidelines and sanctions to deal with the outdoor sex phenomenon.

Wow! Thanks Jason for these pix! Great to see the variety of the ensembles in action!

oh...
