Hey watch yourself Out2Lunch....or one of those big 'ol prized Brazilian parrots of yours might just wind up at the neighborhood stray cat X-mas dinner-in-the-alley function next week!

No shit, no posts since Dec 2nd. That is some serious cutting back. He's over in Japan with Tanno attending the 2003 Blue Plastic Bag Convention. He's okay....I chatted with him about some japanese cd 'stuff' a few days ago.

All the LPs released by Boston-area bands in the 70's.....DMZ, The Neighborhoods, The Real Kids.

Once upon a time, someone mentioned an interesting technique for eliminating a slight LP warp. It involved sandwiching the vinyl between some heavy duty glass and leaving it in the sun for a very short period. He was quick to caution that he'd never actually tried it himself. If only I'd walked away from the tube and bagged watching the end of the 7th inning, that LP might still be alive.

Hey, it's your B'Day! ...so put down that weak pils and pound down a couple of hi-octane Bock tonite!!

A Kelly Blue XRCD (61070) ad I saw lists a (+2)....anyone know what the two extra tracks are? ***...another 'Q' for the XRCD experts -- why the 2 separate titles within Heritage of Jazz series??? 61039: ART PEPPER - ART PEPPER MEETS THE RHYTHM SECTION 61041: ART PEPPER - ART PEPPER MEETS THE RHYTHM SECTION +1

Interesting sites.

The Jacquet set is pretty much a non-starter w/me.

'Leebop' is a nice little number......think I'll slap that cd on right now!

I should think that BN would move to fill the shelves with some form of "The Rajah' before re-issuing "Vol. 3"?

....and the JRVG strip.

For those who might not know. A standard blue TOCJ 'OBI' strip....

No, no, no, no, no -- not 'surfing'....crowd 'straffing'! * either Juan's sporting some serious chrome dome and needs that hat for sun protection.......or he's deathly afraid of Ashcroft? B)

....and pulverized.

There's a JRVG (TOCJ-9021) and a TOCJ (1557). I'm not sure if the JRVG has been repressed but the TOCJ can be had over at Amazon Japan.

That's usually the case......although I'm now annoyed at Mosaic for the 2nd defective record that has now turned up in my Miles 'Blackhawk' set, so I'm turning my back on them this festive season and asking Santa instead for a few of those 200 gram BN Monos over at Classic Records (Jutta Hipp & Zoot, J.R. Monterose, Morgan 'Indeed'??).

What about Aluria? Will that ID and zap spyware like 'Winshow' ? The others don't seem to do it.

Okay Vibes....guess we'll have to pick up a fresh copy. I take it that the hybrid SACD is the one that works w/standard cd players?

I downloaded this one awhile back over at eMusic.....nice music but several tracks sound slightly warbled and distorted as though someone had recorded the stuff straight off the old tv soundtrack. Does the actual cd sound like that? Maybe the Mp3 files were just crummy?

Tapping the Weizen mini-keg......anyone surprised at that??

Pretty good huh Lon? We've seen a few ads and thought it might be something to check out.....guess we will.

Exactly. I was surprised when you guys veered off in this direction. If you have power, use it -- swiftly and justly -- and don't send mixed signals by constantly changing the playing field or your loyal subjects will get confused, start to question your true motivation and then quietly organize in order to make a move to take you down hard and install one of your 'brother' administrators who may very well have his eye on your job (you should hear the terrible rumblings that are percolating throughout the Northeast & Southwest quadrants of Ozissimoland). I'll send you a copy of "The Prince" to read over the holidays along with a spare box of Eagle ammo. p.s. -- keep an eye on everyone who lives to the west, south and northeast of the locus of power in the known universe (D.C.), as well as the Europeans --- plotters all!

Mencken: "We sat down to luncheon at one o'clock; I think it must have been at Leuchow's, his favorite refuge and rostrum to the end. At six, when I had to go, the waiter was hauling in his tenth (or was it twentieth?) Seidel of Pilsener, and he was bringing to a close prestissimo the most amazing monologue that these ears had ever funnelled into this consciousness. What a stew, indeed! Berlioz and the question of the clang-tint of the viola.....the psycho-pathological causes of the suicide of Tschaikowsky......why Nietzsche had to leave Sils Maria between days in 1887.........the echoes of Flaubert in Joseph Conrad......the precise topography of the warts of Liszt......George Bernard Shaw's heroic but vain struggles to throw off Presbyterianism.......how Frau Cosima saved Wagner from the libidinous Swedish baroness.......what to drink when playing Chopin........what Cezanne thought of his disciples.......the defects in the structure of "Sister Carrie"........Anton Seidl and the musical union......the complex love affairs of Gounod........the early days of David Belasco..........the varying talents and idiosyncrasies of Lillian Russell's earlier husbands.......whether a girl educated at Vassar could ever really learn to love.......the exact composition of chicken paprika.......the correct tempo of the Vienna Waltz.......what George Moore said about German bathrooms........the true inwardness of the affair between D'Annunzio and Duse.......the origin of the theory that all oboe players are crazy......why Loewenbrau survived exportation better than Hofbrau........Ibsen's loathing of Norwegians.....the best remedy for Rhine wine Katzenjammer...........how to play Brahms......the degeneration of Bal Bullier......the sheer physical impossibility of getting Dvorak drunk......the genuine last words of Walt Whitman............
