  1. admit it Paul, the 70s live stuff is cool too!
  2. you will want to turn some knobs, pull some levers, and push some buttons with XP. It is a true radio-free-Gates if you don't. I am amazed at the amount of times this OS wants to contact with the outside world. Then there is a default user that you get for free. Bill tells us it's harmless, something to do with future applications, OEM, blahblahblah. I'd trust it as far as I can throw it. Delete the spooky non-existent user I'd say. Every user has standard Administrator rights with XP, so that includes this one with the funny long name with all the numbers in it. Nice target for a hacker. That's why we still use 2000: also stable and it allows a little more control over the uninformed actions of co-workers and -users.
  3. wassup with the colour of the lettering? on the left the 1989 CD release, in the middle the new RVG, on the right the LP cover from that Japanese site EDIT: just checked the cover art book and it has the blue and purple variant Nothing important of course, but rather strange.
  4. with love from maren & couw

  7. ...which as generalized a statement as Miles only playing slow ones. I'm not sure what you mean by that. But: I didn't say I don't like Booker, I like his playing a lot in fact. I merely noted that there really isn't that much variation in Ervin's solos. There have been previous discussion in which it was pointed out by various people. The last time people reacted rather shocked at this observation, as if someone pissed up the pope's leg. That's what the little wink was all about. On AAJ Deep basically said the same thing but he put it a bit, well... "Deep-ish" and dissed the man for it. Nobody else did really. It's like with Lee Morgan towards the end of his career. Almost all of his solos were filled with the same licks then. That for me doesn't diminish the joy the music brings me though. But if I want to hear him revel in invention and freshness, I put on early Lee. If I want to hear steam-roller, make way here *I*come, tenor playing, I put on Ervin and I know that is precisely what I am going to get.
  8. always think before you ask...
  9. so, who's gonna be the first to mention that Booker only had two solos: a fast one and a slow one?
  10. Mabern - Mulligan
  11. who's the girl in the bikini? she has a straaaaaange look in her eyes. Looking slightly off centre camera with glazed over eyes and that smile frozen on her face, it's as if she just drifted into an awful memory about her miserable morphing neighbour and how he keeps invading her privacy...
  12. 'cause Booker plays on it. It's a two tenor front line
  13. Just play damn good music. It's going to count for you and against anybody who wants to brawl it apart. Make sure that if anybody makes a bad impression it's not you. You will want the job. If it gets too silly, step down and punch him in the face.
  14. because it doesn't drive by itself anymore?
  15. tuhtuhtuh! that was one of those silly, American translations to lure the prejudiced people into the cinéma! the actual title is of course "Les Carnets du Major Thompson," which the Brits diligently translated into "The Diary of Major Thompson." me no stoopid!
  16. I was afraid you were going to say that after the fish part...
  17. the day before yesterday was really nice, yesterday was not so nice, today it's raining again. Enough to drive a man to alcohol.
  18. ..
  19. he means "race" of course, not "race"
  20. the title would certainly have put me off, you're right (BTW, the title is: Plays Miles Davis)
