Funny topic for a thread...you must have just had a run-in with someone on the board. Tell us who it was and we'll torture them to death by making them watch cheapnis! and torture that will never stop... who has inverted icecream cones with matted hair on the mind now?

I got that one on vinyl before the 3CD with the live performances was released. I have always dug the shite out of it. Especially "Black Root," which drove it all right home on first listening. I have always imagined Kirk taking his horn apart untill he is humming through the bell alone and then putting it all back togethher again while continuing to blow his song. Absolutely marvellous. One of those performances that make you jump up and dance around the room... HELL-friggin'-YEAH!

scroll down to where it says NICE GUY EDDIE Okay, everybody cough up green for the little lady.

I don't think it has anything to do with english being a second/third language to me. I write and read it every day and don't translate back and forth while doing so. I wasn't fooled when someone showed me something similar in German either. Nor when someone else had a Dutch test like this. Weirdos like africa, rocky, and myself are different. We have self-designed animated avatars. Maybe that is a clue.... :rsly:

I'm driving in a little red car on a dirty greyish-brown background all day wearing sunglasses and a beret and always appear at the top after I just disappeared at the bottom when my slalom is done again.

listened to snurdy again today, twice! On the train to work track #5 (the long slow one), really got on my nerves. It sounded like a load of noodling to me; I couldn't get into it. On the train back home, I dug the same track quite a bit, so I guess it needs some growing pains. The other slow part (track #2, "pt2") on the disk worked fine on the train to work, but did not on the train back home. Go figure. All in all I like this music quite a bit (more than that actually). The guitar reminds me of Frank Zappa on Zolar Czakl; come to think of it: the whole concept reminds me of those early FZ sound paintings as you find them on Unlce Meat and Lumpy Gravy. (You'd almost expect the voice to pop up that goes "hmmm papaaa papa papapa papaaa," like it does on 9 types of industrial pollution). The slower tracks were a bit out of place for my ears today. I'll see what the future brings. It'll grow I think. BTW: listening to the AEC box now (disk 2) and:

me too saw all 6...

ouch! have fun Jeff, welcome back in spending land...

suddenly...

many more

up for Reinier. Any news on this from your meeting with MC?

now to hear the music.... has this album (title: Zodiac) ever been reissued in any form?

cayetano, sent you a PM (and an email) on these three: - Max Roach, The Max Roach 4 plays Charlie Parker (Verve/Mercury) $4 - Hank Mobley, and his all stars (Blue Note) $4 - Bud Shank & Bob Cooper, Blowin' country (West Coast Classics/Pacific Jazz) $9

google's answer usual disclaimers and no experience with this vendor.

the adorable lady must be hungry. she look a bit skinny in the face. send her to me, I have good beer to give her a belly and a nice teint.

I would propose Sangar in NE Sibiria (along the Jena river). Not much else going on there, but a good ferry connection with Yakutsk, and since they closed the coal mines some years ago the people need another occupation. They cannot even afford to be drunk all day, let alone get out of the stinking place. Support Sangar.

that endgame was AotW some moons ago (linky-plinky) I need to give this AotW (Stitt does Bird) another listen. Be back soon (maybe).

finally had a chance to listen to this one. Whereas the Marsh immediately grabbed me, Snurdy didn't. The music is cool and I can relate to it, but I need a more concentrated listening than this one I think. I'll put it on in the train to work tomorrow and see what I think then.

I wouldn't know, it's my first printer. seriously: the ink of the Canon is dirt cheap compared to HP, especially if you buy the no-name stuff or do re-fills. HP is the only one who effectively seems to be able to block no-name firms from becoming very succesfull in selling ink tanks that fit their printers. Even the "HP" no-name tanks and refills are more expensive than any other brand, which may be due to the fact that almost every HP printer type has its own type of tanks; you won't be able to put the tanks of a 640C into your 560C. So what you gain in longeivity, you lose in ink-money really (especially when also considering that modern printers are way more economic in ink use). A guy who deals in these things told me that some firms actually buy up to 10 HP printers at once and if the ink goes out they actually sell the printer on ebay and unpack the next one. Just because the refills are way to expensive. Then I have read (don't know if it's true) that since Canon has been using its 4 tank system the longeivity of their printers has increased substantially. The people you know had these too? Lexmark is a brand that sells their machines very cheaply, but charges huge amounts for ink. Epson has been doing the 4-tank thing as well off late.

those HP laser printers never seem to die. More recent models are WAY faster than your 5 series though (and I mean WAY faster... ) you won't find a colour laser printer below 600 or so. *Much* more if you want hi-Q. laser printers are of course MUCH cheaper in use (couple of cents per colour print instead of a dollar). It's an investment no household will earn back by printing the occasional colour invitation to grandma's birthday

I wanted to buy a printer recently, and looked into such a scanner/printer/copier combination thing as well. I found out that the scanner ability is subpar (unless you pay ~400); these combined things mostly use another, simpler scanning technology that produces worse quality than single-function scanners that sell below 100; I have a digi cam that does better scans" of my LPs (LPs only fit on a larger scanner anyway...). The printers are often quite good on those combined things, but not better than on a single-use machine that goes for less than 100. So for 200, you already have something better, be it in the form of two machines. Room is a factor of course, but for one thing, these combined things are huge monsters themselves and for two things, also consider the fact that if one half breaks down, you're going to either replace it or leave it sitting there as the lame but huge monster it is. We got a Canon i560 inkjet printer in the end, this is the follow-up model of the i550. It's (really) fast, produces hi-Q pics, and is economic in ink use and costs. I decided to buy and not inform myseld any longer as you can inform yourself to death these days. Do inform yourSELF though, surf around, read some tests (look for price-per-print tests), find a shop that sells the shite (often the problematic part over here), and enjoy.

Canon has been scoring very high points in the tests in recent years. HP is cool and a quality product, but not exactly economic in ink use and costs. Canon has several nice desk top inkjet printers with 4 separate ink tanks that can either be easily refilled or changed for inexpensive no-name tanks. Print quality is really very good. I would not recommend 3-in-1 printer/fax/scanner/photocopier (that's 4 actually...) products, unless you want to spend quite a bit of dough (300-400 won't take you to the promised land, think 700-800). The cheaper ones either have bad scanning capability or treat ink like it's rain and that's bad for the wallet and the environment. Printer/Fax combinations have been around a bit longer and those can be had for around 3-400 and present good quality in every respect.-
