When was this decided? A couple weeks ago, but I just started this thread to make the formal announcement.

After discussing with mikeweil and seeing the waning interest in the BFT, we have decided that December 2009 will be the last BFT until further notice. Before the dworkin's post today, we hadn't had a new BFT compiler sign up in ages. A revised schedule will be posted shortly as soon as I can work out with the dworkin when he's going to lead his BFT. It's been fun, folks. Maybe a long break is what this needs, and then hopefully it'll come back at full strength.

Is there something in the air right now that we've gotten two of these kinds of stupid-ass spams this week?

I've always been partial to the Ventures version on $1,000,000 Weekend. Ashamed to say I'm not familiar with any jazz versions, and since I dig this tune too, this will be a cool thread to watch. Can y'all fill me in on which albums I can find these that have been mentioned: James Brown Stanley Turrentine Sonny Criss

Banned because the unanimous answer would be "the 70s" so there would be no further reason to discuss it. I don't think this is really true. Like "favorite era of SNL" - the answer is the era that you were first exposed to. So I think there'd be plenty of fans of the 80s and later. Interesting choice of words there, Dan.....

And a happy April Fools Day to you too, Swede!

that's fine, I didn't need dinner anyway....

Things You Miss By NOT Participating in the Politics Forum

Yep, mailed 'em out yesterday to the following: mikeweil thedwork Free For All Let me know if I left anyone out or if anyone else wants a CD copy.

The Untouchables on AMC. Reminded why this is one of my all-time favorite movies.

Whatever Happened to Nunya (the "Stand down, liberal" poster)?

Half Price Books: It is annoying to have to wade through their three or four legitimate used jazz CDs when you only want to look at hundreds of gray market Spanish CDs and other cheapo rip-offs. Damn straight!

Anyone Else Having Trouble Finding Herb Alpert, Boots Randolph, or Spyro Gyra LPs at Half-Price Books?

Ooooooohhhh

Oh shit....

Uh oh..... :blush2:

Add Free For All to the list, he PM'd his mailing address to me.

For Fats Waller, the 1960s era RCA Vintage series LPs are a better choice--amazing sound on those RCA Vintage LPs (not limited to Fats). Never heard of these. Do tell!

Shoe Wearers Who Emptied Their Sweat on Your Horn

I keep hoping I'll run into the following titles again, since I foolishly passed them up the last time I saw them: Dale's Wail (Verve 2-LP set) - Roy Eldridge The Complete Fats Waller, Volume 3 (Bluebird 2-LP set) FWIW, if anyone has either of these and wants to trade them, I've got the Sonny Rollins Quartets Bluebird 2-LP I'd gladly trade, or just let me know how much you want for them (no more than $10 each, I hope). Post your wish list here. Maybe other Board members could be on the look for them or run across them. I plan on updating this post on a regular basis.

I'm Posting This with One Hand Up My Butt

Yeah - but the "fine print" says that the single purchase has to be an item of list price $20 or more. Really? I've read the coupon five times now and either I'm totally oblivious, going blind, or maybe it just ain't there?
