  2. Who's this by? Almost looks like a Demuth. Hermenegildo Sábat
  3. the only Pee Wee with Brown I have is Russell's "Ask Me Now" on Impulse!, recently re-released in the Verve LPR series.

    iPod

    if you listen while being alive, i.e. while breathing, having a heartbeat, maybe even eat some crips, or sit in a transportation vehicle, or walk through a street while listening to your iPod, lower quality settings are very unlikely to bother you. I have pretty good ears, but I cannot really hear the difference between mp3s encoded at 224kbps and anything above that. And if I can, I'd be hard pressed to call out which is which. Probably would have a hard time picking out the 198kbps if it were among there. As you will still have your uncompressed source at home in the shelves, to which you can return when you really really want to try and hear that guy in the pommes-frites boutique across the street from the studio order a double with all on top and then listen to his accompanying burp roll off, as it was recorded through the open window of the studio on a hot day in May, I'd say go for quantity and be happy with quality merely being good enough. Kidding aside: Having someone make you a blind test disk with various encoding options may help you identify the best setting. You may be surprised.
  5. Jimmy Raney check this list for many more ansers to many more questions
  6. just don't forget.
  7. it will probably be more brittle
  8. So what stopped them? Duran Duran (shudder)

  10. Flash #128 (Abra Kadabra) goes for 80$ when mint. Iron Man #2454 is not listed. Is this maybe another series? like X ditty this or X blob that? (this from a catalogue of almost 10 years old....)
  11. I dug up an ancient catalogue, what are the issue numbers?
  12. We used to check the Wizard monthly magazine for a price list. Does that still exist? You will want them in perfectly spick and spam straight from the press into a mylar bag and saved for posterity in a dark place with controlled humidity state to be of real value. But you never know.
  13. the guy has beautiful hands.
  14. run, lumin, run* *freely after that Hemmingway bloke
  15. I gathered it may be available from deus? wink wink (although I voted for it, I missed some of the to and fro when it was offered, it seems)
  16. will we all get a look at the contents of the SASpan disk as well?
  17. according to the Library of Congress: Gerry with his sextet: l to r :Bob Brookemeyer, Dave Bailey, Bill Crow, Zoot Sims, and Oliver Beener, Gerry Mulligan. hmmm.... okay, let's try again Gerry with his sextet: l to r :Bill Crow, Oliver Beener, Zoot Sims, Bob Brookmeyer, Dave Bailey, Gerry Mulligan.
  18. I have. Pretty nice it is too. A very personal take on things and the guy seems to like to spin his tales to where it gets real thin and then yank some on it. I like that. He isn't too bothered by trying to be objective, which is a wise decision as it makes for a far better story.
  19. That's how evolution is supposed to work, right? (rhetorical question) yes, and Wynton's is yet another experiment, nothing more, nothing less. Yeah, but it's an experiment that has sucked up a lot of time and money that ain't gonna be replenished any time soon. obviously, there are some powerful forces at work that keep the approach viable. sux indeed, but hey, watcha gonna do about it? Maybe our kids will understand what it is all about and laugh at us for not taking part in it. nah!
  20. you know what they say: "ask Tanno."
  21. If this would require the average woman preferring men with obsessive-compulsive Cd-buying habits, I'd say the plan is S.O.L. but once all shopping (even clothes and shoes) will be online only, the girls will need someone to open those AOL disks for them
