howsabout we go looking for the best post of the 100.000 ?

now THAT's more like it! and MORE content than many a political post at that! Way to go! That counter's spinning like mad

click for a snippet of that video

He people, if we want to make this happen before the US wakes up, we gotta start posting PRONTO!

check out this thread if you only want the cover, simply import it into a Wordprocessing programme and resize it. In MSWord, open a new document, click on [insert], [graphics], [from file] and select the pic you want to have. When it's inserted, double click it and a menu opens. Select the size tab and resize to 12x12 cm (or equivalent in inches). Print, et voilà. If you want to make a booklet to fold, with some text on the back, you'll have to change the layout settings of the image. Double click the image and the menu pops up. Select the layout tab, and then [fitting]. Click [OK] You can now drop and drag the image. Add a textfield of the same size and layout settings ([insert], [textfield] click on page and press enter, double click the grey border of the square and the menu pops up again]and write in it what you want in. Set up the page across ([file], [page set-up]), i.e. that is broader than high (I don't know how this is called in English, sorry for that). Drop and drag textfield and image to fit besides eachother. Selecting either image or textfield and pressing down [control] and using the arrow keys you can move one pixel at a time. There's an example in the thread linked above. I am working on booklets for the previous BFTs (and my own) at the moment, with all the relevant info. The first two are finished. If you can be patient, I will post them soon. I don't have all the info together for BFT4 though.

one post less to go

wow, 10 foot records! (sorry, couldn't resist) and yes: the ones I buy are usually without inner sleeve or with some clear see-thru plastic, usually rounded at the bottom (and bigger than the outer sleeve )

Well supposedly there are albums you need to play in reverse to hear the real (usually evil) message. Never tried myself.

I'm not a musician, but I would visit this board and read some mind-numbing posts.

that Twist album on Atlantic for one.

684 to go

is it the slowest one, the one you can catch and tie to the table leg?

O no, he's is playing that spooky music again! Can't he read in my eyes I despise this stuff? I will lie real still, that should make him take notice!

now there's a nice pic for that captions thread :rsly:

this one is so cool, it teaches you bop. Judging from the dancers, the cat ain't too cool about Coltrane either I think though. Cat Shatner says: ksssss! be gone!

"You know Andrew, if it weren't for the hat, I bet people wouldn't be able to tell us apart." "They won't be able to tell us apart already anyhow!" "You think so?" "Yes Andrew, I do."

Dan, sorry about that postage thing. I should have known as disks have only started popping up on the other coast recently. I guess youse over thair are better judges of your own postage system and the time it needs. I myself have no problem with the little breathing time like we had now between the tests. If this forum lies fallow for a couple of days that's just the calm before the storm and you know we're all trying to keep up with our evergrowing collections to do better in the next test.- The FAQ thing may indeed be posted in a sticky thing like the political rules. They need to be written first though. So, anyone who feels the writer fighting to get out of him/her, please contribute. And somebody please elaborate on that stupid "yes" answer to my Q #2!

mark, I did check. There are 25 copies listed. Softcovers start at less than 10USD. There are quite a few books listed, explicitly identified as HC/Hardcover for 15USD. Or am looking with a skewed eye?

abebooks.com list several Hardcovers for around 15USD search for "American Musicians: 56 Portraits in Jazz"

I really cannot tell you. I have been roaming google for more of the drummer and came across this disk. Isn't the OJC catalogue available from e-music? ;aybe someone has downloaded this and can share an mp3 or two for others to form an opinion.

I am not sure how your posts refers to the title of the threas. Sorry for that and sorry if I take it in a completely different direction than what you had in mind. I would very much prefer when the person who sends out X+1, would postpone sending out as long as seems needed, based on the developments in the Answers Thread of X. If X+1 is sent out the day X breaks the answers, disks start arriving a mere day after that, meaning X+1 should open his Guess Thread. We had approximately one week "postage pause" between the end of the discussions on the BFT 4 answers and the start of BFT 5 guesses. That seems very tight already. Making it tighter costs fun I think. It's supposed to be fun, not an occupation. Linking to the title of this thread, I do think it would be nice to have a FAQ of sorts in this particular forum. Probably the answers should contain links to existing threads as many things have been discussed already. Some Question to include: Q - what is this BFT thing? A - BFT means Blindfold Test. It's a cool invention which forces you to listen with an open ear and without preconceived ideas. A member of this Board compiles a disk and sends it out to the participants in the Test. They listen to it and post their ideas in a specific Thread. Q - Can I participate even if I won't be able to make any correct guesses? A - Yes. Q - how do I sign up to receive a disk? A - the compiler of a BFT will start a thread usually titled "Blindfold Test #X - sign up" or something similar. Follow the instructions the compiler gives you there. Q - I want to do a compilation myself. How does that work? A - you sign up in this thread. You my want to check this thread first. It is a listing of past and upcoming BFTs. You can pick the next available position or request to do any later test. Q - What kind of music can I include on my BFT disk? A - anything goes; discuss here Q - What's with the costs? Do I have to pay? A - the consensus of the Board is that what comes around, goes around and everyone will receive as many disks as she sends out in the end. And there is Karma as well and that works for most. In other words, there is no strict need to pay for the disks. Some compilers may ask for assistence, wither monetary or in form of disks or postage. If you feel uneasy in receiving without giving, offer help yourself. discuss here Q - I cannot/prefer not to make my own compilation, can I participate anyhow? A - Yes, "free-riders" are allowed. You may still want to offer help in copying or distribution. There are more questions I expect and I just made up the answers on the fly, they will need some editing I think.

yup, and this one is readily available as well.

I do, and that's not it. Definitely not. That tribute stuff you linked is WHACK! Definitely something VERY original. And so, I love it, which goes without saying Now I wonder why I didn't include a track from it...

Each conn comes in two batches of 2.500 copies. One for the US market and another for the Euro/Japan market. I can imagine that titles will be pulled before the 5000 mark is reached when not enough copies are moved. The two batch system means a title like Components is OOP here in Europe, whereas it isn't in the US. I don't know about the longtime availability of titles like Components and Schizophrenia. There may have been reprints I suspect.

He (or another guy with the same uncommon name) plays on the LP issued under Aphrodisiac 6001. Play your cyber tricks Sangrey, this one is easy.
