  1. 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.
  2. Ahhhh... needle drops!
  3. America Jazz Classics reissued this recording last year, adding three tracks from a 1957 session for Savoy with Sonny Red replacing Knepper.
  4. 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.
  5. I don't need "never'. "Rarely ever" is fine with me, and it's a helluva lot better than "forever" with a PC.
  6. 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.
  7. Makes me wish I'd ordered the happy [ending] meal!
  8. "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.
  9. SteepleChase titles are always nice.
  10. 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!
  11. Love that Target ad, especially the tune!
  12. 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.
  13. I ordered the Bowie/Wilson CD Duets directly from IAI a year or two ago. Here's the link: IAI
  14. You're welcome, and thanks for renewing my interest in Lossing. Here's another good one: As usual, nice original compositions, plus some interesting covers, including Ornette's School Days. I like the addition of a horn player and listening to the results, I think Loren Stillman was a good choice. Recorded in 2009 and released on Fresh Sound New Talent.
  15. Good thing you came here for support and understanding. We're good at that.
  16. Two recent articles from CNET News: The Pirate Bay sparks new criminal investigation Suspicions have been confirmed that the Swedish authorities launched a new investigation into the torrent-downloading site. The Pirate Bay The Pirate Bay tosses all torrents One of the Internet's largest torrent-downloading sites is no longer offering torrents, but that doesn't mean the site is being shuttered. Now users can access files with magnet links. The Magnet Bay Recent quotes from the Pirate Bay blog: "Countries, particularly in EU, seem to moving toward total censorship so we do all we can to avoid our users ending up with less freedom." "We're staying put where we are. We're going no-where. But we have a message to Hollywood, the investigators and the prosecutors: LOL."
  17. IRON MAIDEN ROCKS!
  18. This has been a problem for a couple of years now. Dredging through the new release section is a real chore. The trouble is there is so much gold hidden in all the mud on the site. I agree that there's a lot to mine in them thar hills, especially if you're relatively new to jazz. But I've been "prospecting" for nearly 40 years now, and there's very little "gold" left there for me, certainly not enough to justify a hefty annual subscription.
  19. eMusers are always "about to bail". This particular problem appears to have developed yesterday. Since it's the weekend, I suspect everything will be back to normal (i.e., buggy and often annoying) sometime tomorrow. Have you noticed how many off-label, crappy self-produced, and outright non-jazz titles have swamped their jazz section over the past several weeks? I may have said it before, but it's like trying to find something decent in the bargain bins of a discount store. One more thing, I cancelled when my subscription ended at the beginning of January. I did not receive an offer of free credits as an enticement to renew. Kind of hurts when I remember how many times I defended them on the message board. Oh well, as my Mom says, "No good deed goes unpunished".

    Dave Holland

    After which he is coming to Boston for a week's residency at New England Conservatory. Hopefully, there will be a concert of some kind at the school.
  21. Having enjoyed the trio's follow-up on Hat Hut called As It Grows, I sought out the earlier Dreamer and find that I like it very much.
