Jim, It's probably none of my business, but I think the story you got up on the CDstreet site can use a little polishing. The most important point here is that Organissimo will no longer provide CDs through CDstreet. That is what interests the buyers, your whole screaming manifest they can probably do without. I understand you want to yell a lot and loud at CDstreet, but I, like Hans, doubt it is the right thing to do on their site as it may lead to trouble you're not waiting for. Further, a more calm approach pointing it all out would be more effective I think. Look at it this way, if you can calmly redirect sales from CDstreet to CDbaby without making too much noise, you get what you want and even more by using the CDstreet site as additional free advertising. Just my worried 2cts, I would leave out most of the exclamation marks and start the text more factually. The whole story that follows is true and sad enough for sure, but if CDstreet was indeed going through a rough time, skidding bankrupcy and whatnot, it is perfectly understandable your mails were not answered for months on end (just trying to see the other side here). The formal lawyer speak reply you finally got sux big time too, but what's a company gonna do? The shouting isn't helping anyone really and the facts speak for themselves. I've taken the liberty to propose an alternative toned-down text:

watch your mouse pointer

ah, that makes it much better

...and by the by, the Dutch have a similar character in Johan Cruyff, the world famous (except in Disney land) football (soccer that is) player. He has expressed many such similar "wisdoms" that have flooded the dutch media. The most famous one probably being "Ieder nadeel heb zijn voordeel," which, in it's faulty grammar, means "every disadvantage has its advantage." Besides being a stupid remark coming from his mouth, it mirrors yet another Toa truth of the dialectic nature of all or nothing at all.

Some Background on Yogi... Some more... eyyyy, even in the former Warsaw Pact states some people know of famous Yogi the Berra. They have a totally different sense of humour though (or so it seems) and don't use emoticons when displaying the dryest type.

I don't understand this.

I only saw some listings from ancient ebay sales. Judging from the prices paid, this is indeed a rare find.

this tune was included on one of those recent compilations of British jazz. Don't have it, but I can imagine there is some info there.

so well hidden, I can hardly see them

up! what's up?

Men With Sticks

rip a wav and take a look, it looks really awful, clipped like a poodle. It somehow slipped passed me to get this one; did get some others from this series.

nothing is also something Fascinating....

potbelly?

Could've fooled me. I could've swore I was hearing a glorification of the pothole, and a denigration of the Grand Canyon, as well as a championing of the notion that it was silly to lose interest in dwelling on the former once one has become satiated with it. darn, and I had the distinct impression you were doing just the opposite of that. now, where's that catesta guy...

At last - COMPLETE agreement. But you gotta have both in order to use both... that's what I have been trying to tell you all along really. You and your silly holes.... We're off!

Well, for some of us, that IS fun! And besides, you never really learn anything other than how much you don't know. But that's fun too. pffff, do you have stocks in the tiling business?

No wonder you drink so much! damn, busted! I blame catesta

Well, there you have it again! It's the higher scale (or as Coltrane said of Ayler in a musical/metaphysical sense, the "higher partials") that get and hold my interest these days. And I'm just glad there's beer. The bottle is a good facilitator, but by no means is it necessary. higher scales alone are as boring as the lower ones alone. the thrill is in the connections and in jumping scales. and as for the beer, your focus on the bottle instead of the nothing it represents does not exactly show a love for the higher partials. Though there is some fun in your refusal to stick to the appropriate level You will need some nothing somewhere, you cannot enjoy your drink when your mouth is stuffed shut.
