.......Since they're sliding 'Demon's Dance' in there....what are the chances they'll slip 'Tippin' the Scales' into this series as well? .02%?

Columbia VACM 1266(New) Kisor,Ryan/This Is 2854 Good news! His 'Usual Suspects' cd is tremendous. 'Sheeryn's Waltz' is THE best! drool..drool.....

Oh okay...well that helps a good bit. I don't own a single Buddy Rich LP/Cd and had thought about roadtesting one of his smaller group dates like 'Buddy & Sweets' (I've heard clips at CD Universe and like it) or the 'Miami' one. Since the 'Sweets' one doesn't sound 'hyper' to me......I now know that the Miami one is an entirely different ball of wax and it's probably one I don't want to go for, yes?

10th grade? ....no Pop-Tarts, no Get Smart, no Steppenwolf, No Penthouse Forum, no Coors, no electric golf carts, no Hunter S. Thompson 'Hells Angels'!! Life must have been grim with nuthin to do but smoke Chesterfields and spin that 'Platters Sing All The Movie Hits' record.

The only picture I have is of that kid (Fred Mertz Jr?) in the front row of your 5th grade social studies class in 1960, quaking with fear while raising his hand to ask you a question. B-)

I see that he's on Buddy Rich 'In Miami'. How's that one?

stunning.

A couple of Peter Beets 'NY Trio' cds....

Next time she calls, throw her off a step by asking if she'd ever Eat Bertha's Mussels?

What is it?

Oh yes, looks like a few threads about it. Guess I'm the last guy here to have plugged into that place. I really need to get out more often. Milk's still 50 cents a gallon, right?

No, I sent Jim a check for it.........r cash?

CD Baby? Rather 'unique' shipping confirmation e-mails rolling out of that place. I hope the thing doesn't show up with a pacifier attached to it. I'll forward it to Johnny. B-) Dear ..... Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow. A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure it was in the best possible condition before mailing. Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy. We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved 'Bon Voyage!' to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, Monday, April 25th. I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did. Your picture is on our wall as 'Customer of the Year'. We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!! Thank you once again,

So they've been sitting on some back room storage shelf for quite some time, no? At one point they had all the Jasmine's sitting in there and I wiffed and didn't pick 'em up.

I presume you've already seen the Ike sitting over at eBay Deutschland, yes? Nice little sealed collection that guy has there. Hans must have driven over the border to sell off his duplicates? I don't recall ever seeing a sealed copy of that 'Groove' show up on any eBay site. Not my gig though..I'm not into cowbells.

Well that's fair...but again, how was I to know? Moose won't send me the 'okay/not okay to say' manual. That's why I asked. If Wheel says that some steroetyping is okay....cool, I'll just file it away.

Well, obviously the Wheel wasn't sure himself and thus had to check with someone else....and he's 20 years younger than I and presumably a bit more plugged into the current culture 'scene'. Mark, the fiction bit you're trying to float is sub-par... "using it in a work of fiction (perhaps to indicate that the speaker is anti-gay?) may be intentionally offensive to ellicit an emotional response on the part of the viewer" I guess you have never seen the show. Established African-American character, says it matter of factly....and in the context of what would a gay guy be doing picking up a female hooker. As such, no one in the regular viewing audience is going to sit there and think 'hell, I really thought I knew these professionals....but that black investigator and the female detective who agreed with him are really both wicked homophobes'. He walks into a man's house and says 'Anyone else's gaydar going off?', which obviously means that he has picked up various cues -- the place is neat & tidy and they are looking at how it's decorated, inferring it was done like a gay man would decorate. So how exactly would the gay man decorate? Talk about your stereotypical assumptions. And I thought you guys were all so opposed to stereotyping. Now your arguement about how it may have been said to be "intentionally offensive" ... well, that's why I brought it up. And since our expert in Cambridge says it is not offensive, I guess the best thing to say about that is, wrong-o!

That's funny...you don't usually come off like an ignorant twit... Hey sweetums, I took the liberty of ordering 100 cartons of the non-filter Lucky Strikes from the board's new smoke salesman and am having 'em shipped to you. Enjoy. I actually had no idea that 'gaydar' wasn't in the 'not okay' column of the ever changing 'ok/not okay to say' list and bet there are others on this board who are in the same boat. There some reference manual you receive with your cherished subscription to TV Guide that keeps you up to speed on the current slight-of-the-month? B-)

Calling Cambridge!! Calling Cambridge!! Come on....give us an answer!! Can't you at least give us a few issues that the bi-sexual community would be interested in? What would they lobby for?

Oh great! Well if he's still sitting there, say 'hi' from the gang on the board....and then ask him what he thinks about the transgender biz on the ever expanding banner: Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual, Transgender.." Are these the cross dressers or those who've had sex change operations? ...and why is this particular group now a part of the movement? I've also never understood why the bi-sexual crowd is in there? How can you be discriminated against if you swing both ways? I mean, when does it happen --- when you're playing the straight role, or the gay role....and who's checking? Are we talking occasional discrimination? --- patiently awaiting the final verdict from Cambridge. B-)

How's the 'Hairsplitting 101' course going for you up there in Cambridge? I took that one and received an A- on my senior thesis: "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is".

That's the way it goes with homophobic comments sometimes...darn planet! Heck, when the CSI gang entered an assistant DA's home in LA last night, one of the technicians (Warrick) said: "anyone else's gaydar going off?". They really should reprimand the conservative republican writer that penned that line, huh?

..

I have to admit that, after 'breaking down' the Chambers/Kelly box into the individual discs (Kelly Great, Kelly at Midnight, etc) bundled up w/artwork and all, I've been playing (and enjoying) 'em a good bit more. Question for Vee-Jayophiles: which is the original cover?
