Another vote for He Loved Him Madly. Or stump up the extra buck and get Frank Wright, One for John, just for rarity value...

Not so much a different topic as about the only one we have left

Sounds like you blimeys are getting a raw deal. £329 = $513.49 as of today. UK prices are always quoted inclusive of sales tax (VAT) @20%, so £329 is £274, so about $428. Yes things do cost more in the UK than the US in general, but *part* of that is the sales tax...

those with different log-in and display names ... not that I knew that had existed, but some familiar avatars go by different names (Alexandros being one of them). Oh! I'm not very observant...

New names?

An album title, so no song or sense attached: History of the Last Five Minutes.

How interesting!

A cup of tea! Jolly good!

Demand from me for CDs is now almost zero. I am thinking of selling some Mosaics, not so much because I don't like the music as because I feel like a loser having the 'LP-size boxes' sitting around - but I only expect to get something like what I paid for them, in most cases, which in my busy life makes it barely worth the effort to advertise and ship them....

Yeah you laugh. But when the inter-cantonal wars kick off again don't come running to NATO...

My favourite battle. Bit gory obviously but nice uniforms and a couple of merry quips from the Iron Duke. I reckon most killed in a day's battle was Borodino and Waterloo is runner-up somewhere. Wot larks, eh?

Burn untruth in public recreational area by hospital accident admissions? 13 letters Glad I don't do crosswords

It would be great to have a thread for folks to list all the new or recent technology with which they have no familiarity and do not intend to purchase.

It's like buying lottery tickets - buy enough and eventually you might come up with a winner

RIP

My list of words really was from the Bobby Hackett entry in the Mosaic catalog. It's only a short entry. Leaves even da bastids in the dust.

Are you going to retire?

We need to remember to hate the "industry". What Shawn says is spot on, same in UK. It is customer-unfriendly to force consumers to purchase multiple services to access the prime material that interests them. Fortunately the internet is the consumer's friend too.

From what I've read, most, but not all of the iTunes catalog will be available for streaming. The Beatles, for example, is one notable exception. But don't blame Apple. Some artists and labels continue to oppose even paid streaming. They believe they will make more money if their music is only available for download. Got it. Thanks.

Have Apple said that all current itunes content will be available on Apple Music? I somehow doubt it but some commentators seems to be assuming it will. Do they know something I don't?

Impeccable Unflappable Unfailing Outstanding Magnificent Astonishingly beautiful Unusual Interesting Profound Indefinable Rare Delightful Divine And that's just from the Bobby Hackett entry in the Mosaic catalogue.

Hero. The other day Bradley Wiggins (cyclist) broke the hour record. I'm a sport cyclist and into cycling, fine. But to hear him called a hero by all the commentators? I'm sorry. He's just a fast cyclist.

"best practice"

You can check probable availability against hmv.co.jp - they are generally up to date.

Don't tell me - it all starts with the drummer - ?
