i've some catching up to do today. before keg of nails opens with their magnificent unaged founders breakfast stout, to warm up, i'm going to enjoy a 22 ounce bottle of guinness extra. international stout day was to have been celebrated november 3. it's well nigh time to load up the mp3 player with real music, not the corporate freeze dry spew you folks call music, find an empty stool, kick back and check out.<br style="color: rgb(28, 40, 55); font-family: arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 252); "> < http://mountain.hopp...onal-stout-day/ If you're into social media these days, there is a modestly good chance you heard of IPA Day back in August. But you don't need to wait another 10 months to celebrate the glory of craft beer and boast about it on your twitter feed. November 3rd has officially been proclaimed International Stout Day! It's been announced by founder Erin Peters (The Beer Goddess), who decided that November 3rd is the perfect time of year to enjoy some crisp autumn air. It's also in time for pumpkin pie season. It's also my birthday. She probably didn't know that, but it's appreciated all the same. I was definitely going to drink a stout anyway. To celebrate, brewers and bars and restaurants and homes across the social media world will participate by offering some of that black stuff. You may have, by now, noticed some of your favorite establishments post event/special tappings on their twitter and/or facebook pages. If not, you can always check out the events page of the Stout Day website (above). I don't want to bother too much with the history of such a beloved style, as any beerian worth a pint knows the story; so for the unenlightened, suffice to say that a dark roasty beer style emerged in England in the 1700′s called Porter. "Stout" in that time only connotated a beer's strength (i.e., "stout porter" > "porter"), but eventually morphed into it's own style. Think of it as Porter's bigger brother. But then in the 1800′s, Stouts were being sent to the Russian Czar, who had a particular taste for the stuff. In order to survive the trip from Britain to Moscow, the beer needed to be bigger to prevent expiration–and the Russian Imperial Stout is born. no, it's NOT like Guinness And it's pretty much caught on fire from then on. Today, there are a plethora of Stout styles to choose from. Frankly, nowadays you'd be hard pressed to find a straight-up regular stout.

maybe i better think twice about wearing my mosaic shirt to the local pub.

we jazz fans do that all the time, with more corpses than 26. http://www.newser.com/story/132561/historian-lived-with-26-female-corpses.html (NEWSER) – Somewhere along the way, Russian historian Anatoly Moskvin's interest in cemeteries went from academic to twisted. Police probing grave desecrations found the corpses of 26 women in the 45-year-old researcher's apartment, the Telegraph reports. The skeletal remains had been dressed up in new clothes. Moskvin was in the process of writing a book about graveyards in the Volga region. He had visited some 750 of them in the course of his research, and investigators believed he plundered at least two of the cemeteries in the dead of night.

there are several videos on the tube of boykin's informal sonic healing ministries concerts. i love watching and listening to them. they remind of the sparse audiences and wonderful musical affairs we have attended in small rooms many times.

wonderful example of communication between performer and listener in concert last night at cultural center with Lithuanian Saxophonist Jan Maksimowicz - enjoy>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BseHHSVHQ6Y

i found his arc trio music very exciting and promising and those records of miniatures for ecm brilliant. to me, chick never fulfilled the promise of what i thought i saw in those early days. pursuit of the dollar may have had something to do with that. for whatever reason he seems to have run out of creative gas, or will, or just dropped the ball.

the phono input, indeed, and it sonically blows away the phono inputs/outputs of 25 year younger pioneer models. there is a dimension and presence to the vinyls my panasonic vsx 9800 has been lacking. it's like i'm hearing many recordings for the first time. that's the best part of this receiver.

do any of you remember those sexy audio gear items from the audio magazines in the 60s rhapsodizing about the virtues and beauty of the new equipment. the photography was better than first rate? speaking of power, tuner sensitivity, and fantasizing---------------- fisher, at that time, was one of the guiltier players. i drooled more than my share; now that drool dust is in the cutout bin of a thrift store.

i thunk youse guys was all rich but me.

scarlet and grey thoughts

my favorite turntable is a 50 year old dual 1015 with a 7 pound platter. the tuner is much better than the 1990 pioneer vsx 3800 that i've used daily since 1991.

one thing for sure--an fm tuner is unnecessary and a waste of time and space.

POWER METERS!!!!! NO RED LIGHTS!!!!!!!!

-the knobs, switches, dials--all the inputs, outputs, tuners etc.-clean and smooth it must weigh 25 pounds. sounds great with my old vinyls. it's got 4 inputs-that's enough for me. no blems-- sure, it's not audiophile, but i definitely got my 10 dollars worth. http://www.audioasylum.com/reviews/Receiver/Pioneer/SX-780/general/338678.html

my 2 late wives were my finest and wisest judges, always having my best interests at heart. now that they have passed on, a daughter is doing surprisingly well at it. she took orders, too.

thank you, sir.

i agree with every word, particularly with respect to asking why mcgwire is back in bb, but not pete.

would that the incredible game 6 had such an audience---

a lawyer told me that he thought the most powerful person that many laypeople would ever come across in their lifetimes is the highest level trial court judge in their local jurisdiction. they can jail just about anyone who comes before them at least temporarily. They generally have broad sentencing power. they can impose the death penalty on a convicted murderer even where the jury has recommended life in prison. they can send a sheriff out to pick up anyone they desire. the list goes on and on. they run for 6 year terms so they are often out in the community. do you know your local judges? do you think many people do? i'm either proud or ashamed to mention that i know none of our locals. skeletons in the closet satchmo http://www.youtube.c...h?v=Ae5WtA_Oqfs witches and devils http://www.youtube.c...h?v=00mt-CNeGyo

the rude one to the cubbies??? theo really wanted the awesome john farrell from the jays but toronto refused to allow talks. wouldn't the rude one be aweome on sunday night beezboll?

Yep, and we can blame Clinton for that one with the 1996 Telecommunications Act. Just goes to show that not everything is black and white (ie all conservatives bad, all liberals good and vice versa). It was / is a horrible decision that allows the conglomeration of media into a few hands and once you control the media you can control the message. The only counterpoint is the rise of the internet, which nobody foresaw (well, Kurzweil did, but he wasn't taken seriously) but that's under attack now, too. And though I don't necessarily agree with thedwork's entire post, it is true that the anger is not aimed at the person who amasses obscene wealth, it's at the system that allows it to happen, a system that was put into place by those with the wealth, to benefit those with the wealth, and maintain the status quo. And that crosses the imaginary party line. And yes, the system is fundamentally unsustainable, just like the fallacy of continually escalating home prices when average wages have stagnated since 1980 was fundamentally unsustainable (something I recognized almost 10 years ago, when I was in my early 20s). If you are even remotely familiar with history, the pitfalls of such a system should be obvious as well as the dire consequences of not dealing with it. Let them eat McDonalds. i often don't agree with your thoughts, jim, but this post nailed it brilliantly.

i'm thinking that universal wifi and inexpensive portable wifi (radios) will offer most of us about 15,000 worldwide station choices. there should be at least one or two out of 15,000 stations weird enough to have live weirdos playing and discussing real jazz, whatever that is.
