Hi Chris! I recently got Joe McPhee & Survival Unit II - At WBAI's Free Music Store. The notes state that you recorded that date while you were manager of the store. Would you please share some of your recollections of that date, and/or what the Free Music Store was like? Thanks.

Indonesian Baby on 40 Cigarettes a Day
sonnymax replied to rostasi's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Maybe now. But once the father is no longer his son will probably kick the bucket before long too... "BULLSHIT!" SAYS THE INFANT'S 12-YEAR-OLD BROTHER. -
New? It originally appeared on Muse and was reissued on CD by 32Jazz.

Is it just me or does anyone stare at the BN logo on covers?
sonnymax replied to CJ Shearn's topic in Miscellaneous Music
Personally, I consider the BN logo to be rather boring and unimaginative compared to other labels of the day. The music is another story. -

Argue's Society will be appearing at this year's festival in Newport. Looking forward to seeing them, along with quite a few other artists. -
Joe Harley restores damaged Song For My Father Blue Note
sonnymax replied to monkboughtlunch's topic in Re-issues
It's a thread about sound, not music. I stopped buying remasters a few years ago and have since discovered a vast and rich world of creative improvised music. To each his/her own. -
Explain the insanity of the Tangerine Dream reissues
sonnymax replied to David Ayers's topic in Re-issues
While you're at it, how about explaining Tangerine Dream's popularity? Oh yeah, now I remember. -
Maybe he thinks he's someone else.

Ebay/Paypal Dispute - What are my options
sonnymax replied to Dan Gould's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
So then, why does this person who filed the suit say:"We request that all payments be made via credit or debit card through paypal" to participants wanting to take her 2010 pet photography Workshops? -
And not a cigar! Actually, the good doctor is correct. Dean's character, Willard Whyte, was not Bond's enemy, but an ally in Diamonds Are Forever.

I was too young to enjoy The Jimmy Dean Show, but I fondly remember his role as "Josh" the fur trapper on one of my favorite programs, Fess Parker's Daniel Boone.

Star of Stage, Screen and Breakfast Table By STEPHEN MILLER Singer Jimmy Dean drew on his fame as a country-music and television star to create what became the biggest-selling breakfast sausage brand in the U.S. Mr. Dean, who died Sunday at age 81, scored gold records with such songs as "Big Bad John," a spoken-word pieceabout a doomed miner, and "I.O.U.," a mushy tribute to his mother. But it was the sausage business that made Jimmy Dean a familiar name in kitchens across the nation. Mr. Dean's homey, unscripted ads on TV and radio boasted about how his sausage was made "from the whole hog, not just the leavings." The business grew rapidly from Mr. Dean's home town of Plainview, Texas. He told interviewers he got into meatpacking as a hedge against the unpredictability of a show-business career. "If you saw my act, you would have realized that diversification was imperative," he told the Washington Post in 1983. Wal Street Journal

Announcers talking about no-hitter during game
sonnymax replied to Matthew's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Tradition, or superstition? A good announcer (increasingly rare these days) can highlight the drama of a situation like this without interfering with the course of the game. I mean, it's not like they're interviewing teammates during the game, after all. My biggest gripe is that too many sportscasters talk incessantly, ruining the tension normally created by brief periods of relative silence as the pitcher looks for the catcher's signals, eyes the base-runner, stares at the batter. In addition, you're visually bombarded with every statistic and TV special effect that's available. Remember, Miles said the space between the notes was as important as the notes themselves. The same applies to baseball, imo. -
If you wish to burn a CD, why rely on a download service or a media player to give what you want? There are several CD burning software programs available that require little space on your computer, offer you the control and options you want, and best of all, are free. Check out http://download.cnet.com, choose PC or Mac, then click on MP3 & Audio Software and then CD Burners. There you can get an idea of what's out there and what the editors and/or customers think.

Intended or not, your comment sounds rather flippant to me.

China cancels visa restriction on bald Taiwanese
sonnymax replied to BERIGAN's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Sillier than most of the stuff you post in the Politics forums? -
From CAM re: Threadgill - A philological work, beginning with the original recordings on multi-track master tapes, patiently integrally remastered paying strict attention to the sound quality. Does that answer your question?

Congatulations Alex! I downloaded Song/Dance from eMusic a few days ago and I'm really enjoying it. Hopefully I'll get the chance to see the Quartet live sometime. Take care.
-
I agree. I bought their first three recordings (MOPDTK, Shamokin!!!, This Is Our Moosic) and will probably pick up the new Forty Fort. I wasn't aware they were being "gimmicky" or less than serious, other than their cover art or composition titles. I just like their music.
-
Agreed. And the counter-arguments of cultural relativism are to be roundly dismissed, imo.

photo of gerry mulligan on heroin?
sonnymax replied to chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez's topic in Miscellaneous Music
Nah, I was operating on the "what the hell is he going to say now" principle. Old habits die hard (with a vengeance!). -

Yes, Mulligan was addicted to heroin in the '50s, but creating this thread was juvenile and in poor taste. -
My favorite part is the host lamenting Louie's inability to disguise himself better by raising the pitch of his voice. John Daly: "I'm only sorry you weren't going to be with us longer. I wish you could have gotten higher." Armstrong: "Well I'll get higher next time." Classic Pops!
