  1. Changing the inherent racism in drug sentencing laws would also reduce the prison population. Consider the following: 1) Two-thirds of all persons in prison for drug offenses are people of color. 2) According to a Fed study in 2002, there were approximately 14 million white Americans who had used drugs in the previous month, compared to about 2.6 million African Americans who had done so. In other words, there were five times as many whites using drugs as African Americans. 3) Despite this disparity, African Americans were admitted to prison for drug offenses at nearly 10 times the rate of whites.
  2. Received this message yesterday: Congratulations! Thanks to you and 333 other backers, Roswell Rudd record "An Album Of Standards" has been successfully funded.
  3. Have you taken the time to listen to the music the AEC recorded for ECM? Although it does not represent the best of their work, much of it is very good, and some, like the 2CD live set Urban Bushmen, is excellent. Put your preconceptions aside and let your ears decide.
  4. From the Harvard Crimson, August 2, 1988: Documentary Will Spotlight 1369 Club According to one of people who filmed the documentary, it was never released.
  5. Just Blowing by the band Pen Island.
  6. Damn, these guys are goooood!
  7. Me, a troll? Well I never....
  8. I swear by this little fellow: Plus, with it's clean lines and smart appearance, it make a nifty idol to worship! 5 Ways to Get the Most Out of Your AirPort Extreme
  9. I'm guessing your favorite song is One Note Samba. It is isn't it? It's full of clever variations - so yes... I'll have to pay more attention in the future, for I see little variation and nothing resembling cleverness.

  11. I don't object to releasing a needle drop in this situation. I do object to paying for it, however. So, I'll bide my time and wait for someone to steal from the thief.
  12. Ahhhh... needle drops!
  13. America Jazz Classics reissued this recording last year, adding three tracks from a 1957 session for Savoy with Sonny Red replacing Knepper.
  14. If truth be told, I could probably do everything I need to do on a PC. But I own a Mac because it's pretty, it's looks cool, it's superior to a PC in every way, and using a Mac makes me a better person than you are.
  15. I don't need "never'. "Rarely ever" is fine with me, and it's a helluva lot better than "forever" with a PC.
  16. You're confusing sexual orientation with sexual behavior. People focus on and label behavior, rather than try to understand who an individual is and where they are coming from. It's often complicated and confusing, and can raise questions and fears about one's own self.
  17. Makes me wish I'd ordered the happy [ending] meal!
  18. "Trusted" in what way? I've downloaded the two Dave Burns titles and one each by Bunky Green and Bill English. They sound good to my ears. Btw, I used my credit to download this 2004 title on Intuition by Florian Ross. I like pretty much everything I've heard by this pianist, and his thoughtful compositions and arrangements really shine on this quintet outing.
  19. SteepleChase titles are always nice.
  20. Here's a new offer to get $2 in Free MP3 credit at Amazon. Click on this link free stuff rules! and follow the directions. Don't forget, you must use your credit before it expires at 11:59 p.m PST on April 1!
  21. Love that Target ad, especially the tune!
  22. I remember the original series, and I can't say I'm a fan. It's always struck me as an awkward, unintentionally funny program that has receives more credit than it deserves (sorry, RDK). It's perfect fodder for Burton and Depp, imo.
  23. I ordered the Bowie/Wilson CD Duets directly from IAI a year or two ago. Here's the link: IAI
