couw

yup, me too

You know Dan, there ARE possibilities... I thought it was a pity AfricaJeff didn't use the 3Sounds "Here Come the 3 Sounds" cover to flatten Herbie standing on the street.

Dan, how can I refuse you... big-un: Jakie McLean - Right Now! (520 Kb)

with topics like this, this BB shows to be the ultimative jazz board

This is definitely among my choice for the proverbial desert island. I don't know whether the price is good, but I do know this one is a bitch to find on CD. The first time I spinned my GDR Amiga LP pressing I went ape shit. Just that you know.

look! couw has a new avatar!

Sorry for the late response, my wife had her birthday and we went on a small trip over the weekend. Jim sent me a mail in the meantime that he'd be breaking the big news here. Thanks for the positive response guys! The personal circumstances Jim alludes to are connected to my grant money having dried up. So I thought if I don't do this NOW, who knows WHEN I will be able to. Although I am working on getting another grant, these things are almost a lottery and it's hard to look very far ahead. Anyhow, now I have a bit more time (I work a lot at home now and can listen during that) and I have in fact already made my compilation. I have been working with a theme, more to constrain myself than to provide you with any clues. I can assure you that I have not focused on way weird & obscure stuff, but I do hope to put some music many of you may actually have into a new light. I have succeeded in finding out how the German postal system works and have recently sent a single CDr to Switzerland for one measley euro. Costs for sending disks across the ocean would amount to 1.50EUR, I was assured. So it looks like I can keep the costs down. Still, in light of my current monetary situation I would very much appreciate some modest help from across the waters. It would hurt much less if the spending were spread over time and I will certainly be willing to help others out as a return favour by sending disks out within Europe.

Oh no, that would be too, uh, real. He just has to scorn those who would disaprove of it... this is getting too deep for me... scorning people for in principle opposing to something that he will never do cause it's too real. and you all want that in ONE pic? and my train is leaving soon so I'm off...

So what does constitute a liberal Quaker? Does Mr Oats have to marry Aunt Jemima to prove his liberalness?

yeah, pity only that Heineken is such a crappy beer-

from the same person who brought to you...

it's already out there on the wwweb my man!

Your girlfriend will not like it, but from an intellectual point of view, you cannot pass by FREE JAZZ by Ornette Coleman. Actually, a friend of mine teaches art at a school for kids between 12 and 18 where he also covers music history. He mentioned some disks he got through the school which had (part of) Free Jazz on it. He played it in class and got a lot of strange looks....

Word of advice: I've tried these. They suck.

...with the endearing, often copied, never surpassed lines: I woke up this morning.... (insert dadum-dadum blues licks here) I went right back to bed.

My Friday Night in SF CD has 1982 on it after the circled p and c.

sorry to bring a bit of politics into this, but -- echoing part of Rooster Tom's sentiments -- I believe this definitely is a message to be taken seriously ....

howzabout you do a course in Photoshop Dan and show us how it's done? :g Seriously, I have actually been toying with that idea but it was late and blahblah... The tag on Jackie's Bag is more obvious & more fun in that respect. You gotta love the irregular timings between the letters though

and those are the lyrics to what song? heads up Tom, have beer, play some loud music. The hell with it all. Come tomorrow,... come ... an empty bottle and that annoying peeping in the ear

Another one as suggested by Big Al. Of course I was being lazy at first and made this one: I had to admit it was a pretty lame attempt. It's only for people too young to know or too old to be able to remember those glorious days of the type-writer where the text simply didn't start at the top and builds downward, but was rather created at the same spot over and over again, the previous thoughts making way for fresh and new ones (cool couw, this philosophical treatise on the type writer... ) Anyhow, I came up with this: of which you may find a big version here (click) (390 Kb) As I had all the letters cut out I thought it a waste not to put them to use, so I sort of polished up the above "classic" version with a more modern re-iteration of the message. ...and a big one of the above can be seen here (click) (540 Kb) You will have to imagine the noise yourself though. I hope you like it anyhow.

Oh, right... I was too lazy to do that and took the default siginificance on every question...

Yo Rooster, looks like we're sort-a like brothers in arms on this one! 1. Secular Humanism (100%) 2. Unitarian Universalism (99%) 3. Liberal Quakers (87%) 4. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (82%) 5. Nontheist (72%) save for the fact that you have two percent more on the liberal christian protestant front that is. But your being such a secular humanist as well, I guess you don't give a damn about that either-

it seems to me they have focussed on designs that can stand on their own without any jazz necessary reference. From that viewpoint any shirts with "our" heroes on them are unlikely to hit the market.

I have been spinning this album non-stop this morning and last night and I like the hell out of it, but have a real hard time nailing it down. The music is definitely inspired, at times sounds haunted, and there's a lot of blues in it. Other than those incredibly non-expressive qualifiers (how DO you come up with it couw...!) I have to agree with DrJ on the tunes entering my subconsciousness the first time I heard them never to leave the place, probably as long as I live. Now THAT's definitely worth something in my book.

--and is maybe even more probable to occur in relative seclusion, no?
