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

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.

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!

I test drove this unit at a local retailer. I thought the sound was a little porky. Yeah, the bass is rather muddy, and the highs tend to squeal if you turn it up too loud.

On a serious note, you might want to look into the Boston Acoustics Duo-i plus, $199 at B&H Photo-Video-Audio.

I have no idea how this sounds... ...but it's soooo cute.

in your opinion (everybody gets one)

I thought some of the board's beer savants would appreciate this bit of news: Mass. Man Accused Of Trying To Swap Baby For Beers by The Associated Press CHICOPEE, Mass. May 18, 2010, 08:06 am ET Authorities say a Massachusetts man offered to give his 3-month-old daughter to a maintenance man outside a gas station convenience store in exchange for a pair of 40-ounce beers. Chicopee police say 24-year-old Matthew Brace of Northampton made the offer on Monday. The maintenance man called police, who found Brace hiding with the girl behind a trash container. State child welfare officials took the baby into custody. Police say Brace was not arrested but will be summoned to court to face a charge of reckless endangerment of a child. A phone number for him could not immediately be found. The child's mother was in the store at the time buying cigarettes. She has not been charged.

It's my understanding that the record labels, not Emusic, dictate the "album-only" format, as well as the policy of charging 12 credits for titles that have less than 12 tracks.

Reissuing music takes time. I'm sure Chuck can attest to this fact. In a February radio interview, Gianni Morelenbaum Gualberto said they were hoping that the first Horo reissues would be available in late May or June.

That's why people call us "jazz snobs."

of course, it's a baritone saxomaphone!

Actress Lynn Redgrave has died at age 67 By MICHAEL KUCHWARA and HILLEL ITALIE (AP) NEW YORK — Lynn Redgrave, an introspective and independent player in her family's acting dynasty who became a 1960s sensation as the unconventional title character of "Georgy Girl" and later dramatized her troubled past in such one-woman stage performances as "Shakespeare for My Father" and "Nightingale," has died. She was 67. Her publicist Rick Miramontez, speaking on behalf of her children, said Redgrave died peacefully Sunday night at her home in Kent, Conn. Children Ben, Pema and Annabel were with her, as were close friends. "Our beloved mother Lynn Rachel passed away peacefully after a seven year journey with breast cancer," Redgrave's children said in a statement Monday. "She lived, loved and worked harder than ever before. The endless memories she created as a mother, grandmother, writer, actor and friend will sustain us for the rest of our lives. Our entire family asks for privacy through this difficult time." AP story

I really enjoyed seeing Ellis perform with the Great Guitars while I attended Berklee in the 70s. Unlike most of the "guitar heroes" of the time, Herb and his compatriots never overplayed. They performed with skill, wit, and humor. RIP Herb.

Your point is well taken, Dan. But remember, this person recently lost her father, and "getting the most money you can" might not be a priority for her. In fact, a long, involved process of selling individual items could be stressful or even hurtful in her present state. Why don't we just honor Elissa's request rather than debate what we would do if we were in possession of the collection?.

It's been said many times before that a musician "sold his soul" to become popular and wealthy. This picture, I believe, provides irrefutable evidence that a deal with Beelzebub was made.
