I've updated the list to show who's getting CDRs and who's downloading. You can always change from one to the other.

How is CAT HOUSE PIANO? If you like nonstop boogie-woogie piano, you'd love this. For me personally, it gets repetitive after the third or fourth song.

No, this kind of comment is actually extremely rare. Most NFL coaches and players take blame, with the occassional bitch about ref calls. Yeah, it's usually the clueless fanboys who say that kinda shit. I guess that would include Wade Philips, cometothinkofit.

These titles have mysteriously disappeared all-of-a-sudden.

Now I'm officially pissed. Direct quotes from Wade hisself at today's press conference: "The better team lost yesterday. We outplayed them yesterday." My bullshit meter is thru the roof. Y'know, it's getting harder and harder to cheer for the home teams when mediocrity is the accepted norm around here.

Would it all fit on one CD?

Smooth jazz.... now THERE'S something we don't talk nearly enough about around here....

Probably the biggest irony in this whole Cow mess is this little tidbit: remember who Jerry Jones passed over for Wade Philips and his spotless playoff record (i.e. it hasn't been blemished by a playoff win)? Norv Turner. Coach of the Chargers. Who are still in the playoffs. For now, anyway. More trivia: the Cows are the first top-seed to lose in the first round since the 12-team playoff schedule started in 1990. They've also tied the record for most consecutive playoff losses with six. The Jerry Jones Death Star (a/k/a the new home of the Cows) is looking more and more like an exercise in futility.

I dunno. Maybe it was because his team had been winning all year, but he really became a team player this year. He made blocks that he wouldn't've dreamed of making last year. He drew double-coverage so that another receiver could be left open. How this translates into the 2008 season, however, is anyone's guess.

Up, scrounging for more participants. Has interest in BFT's dried up? I have six particpants, two of whom are participating at gunpoint.

Talk about two teams with identical records but going in completely opposite directions. The Packers are red hot. The Cowboys annual December swoon is in full gear (I know they won the previous two games prior to today, but they were difficult wins and they were hardly playing at their best in those games). Today was the proverbial opening of the floodgates. Only now it seems like the problem is on the OFFENSIVE side. Roy Williams should be suspended for the rest of the season for that horse-collar penatly. Hey shitferbrains: THAT RULE WAS PUT ON THE BOOKS BECAUSE OF YOU, YA DUMBFUCK! 11-2, bigdealsowhat. You heard it here first, and you actually heard it last week: the Cowboys playoff futility continues this year with yet another first-round exit. I'm not always right about things, but pardon me while I pat (pardon the pun) myself on the back for calling this one way back when.

Have you not read any of my posts this season? Whaddya think: Tony = Dirk

Big Al calls it! The Cowboys looked good for awhile this season, but something sure changed. Nothing changed. Their offensive line has always been atrocious, and their defense hasn't been much better, giving up all those points in games where they won. Remember all those games when Dallas won when they should've lost? Well, they played another one of those games today, except it bit 'em in the ass this time. When the blame is passed around, Jessica Simpson's name better not be mentioned AT ALL.

FWIW, these two albums fit perfectly onto one CD for maximum listening pleasure!

Two thumbs up from me as well, as I got my discs in great shape as well! :tup

Probably won't be able to listen live but I'll definitely be hittin' the Archive as soon as it's up!

My picks exactly!

As I've said all along, get ready for a first-round exit for the Cows this weekend.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely go with rapidshare.com then.

And if you don't like that KID AND THE BRUTE disc, I will buy it from you!

Thanks to fent99 for letting me pinch-hit for him. I had a blast with my last BFT, and I got the impression that a lot of y'all did as well. It'll only be one disc, with two themes that'll be easy to spot, with an overall emphasis on fun and whimsy just like the last disc. I'm gonna try and go the yousendit route, but if anyone wants a CD, just send me your mailing address via PM.

Yes. I don't want to discourage or get rid of the "Listening" thread, for the reasons listed above by other posters. But at the same time, what made me think of this was the fact that I was listening to Lee Morgan's CITY LIGHTS the other morning and wanted to start a thread. Now, I don't want to put it in "Recommendations" because I'm not doing that; I just want to talk about it. And I figure there are others who want to do the same thing, that is just talk about a particular album without dedicating a week, month, or even a day to it. Just a moment.

Holy cow, I've had that dream too! Seriously!!! Different record store, but same dream!

Well, I had a chance to listen to this set thanks to the Arlington Public Library, which somehow managed to score TWO copies of this set. It was okay. If nothing else, it made me appreciate the finished product much more than I ever gave it credit for. The same thing happened with the JACK JOHNSON set. The single disc issues of these albums work just fine for me.
