Actually, all the places that I still find a more than decent jazz selection at are somewhat bizarre. Comes with the times.

I thought I was Internet and network savy, but all this vining talk doesn't tell me anything (there was some M. Davis vining talk a while back ... and no, it was not the M. Davis whining thread). If it ain't too complicated, I'm in. (If it involves using the thumbs of both hands simultaneously, count me out).

I couldn't care less. If the recording is good, it ain't gonna hurt me and if someone is plugging crap he/she will be found out in a few minutes. There are just too many knowledgable posters here NOT to notice that kind of thing. And, if it wasn't disclosed beforehand, we get the added pleasure of watching certain well-trained members pounce on the culprit. That usually brightens up the day.

Well, just to add my unqualified two to three cents here. a) I'm sorry the welcome wasn't as warm as it usually is around here ( ) but SeeWhyAudio sounds like the guy who can get over that in a flash. b) I find this thread fascinating. I've been toying with the idea of hi-res player and recorder, but I just haven't had the money yet to blow on a format which seems to be on the endangered species list (SACD would be the way for me to go, adding DVD Audio as well, depending on developments in either camp). I still might jump on board because even if the horse is being/has been pronounced dead, we can still flog it for a couple of years (DAT tape, anyone? Been around for ages and still being used by a whole bunch of people). c) Last point: I enjoy the in-depth and very knowledgable posts here. Keep 'em coming. There's been tons of stuff to learn here and I for one am hoping for more.

Cool. Finally another Mosaic I would invest money in.

Hey, we all grew up in the digital age (at least partly). Write first, then think (if you have the time ... most people don't). Man, I sometimes long for the times when people still wrote letters. They sat down, thought for a moment or two, then put pen to paper and proceeded to write down what they had contemplated at some length before. The ones I got did not have all of those errors. The same people now send me illegible and demented e-mail ... .

There's the silver lining though: we can blame it all on Helmut Kohl (1982).

And that's NOT including taxes, outrageous fees charged by shipping companies to finance their night out, etc. It's basically the price of any one Mosaic on eBay. Edit: Those "n"s ... my keyboard sucks.

Herr and Frau can shove it. ( it = our constitution [nicely rolled up for a snug fit] which they certainly don't give a hoot about in this power gamblin' thing they're into at the moment).

How about a game of Monopoly for, say, a thousand Euro?

I'll stick with "Prinz Eisenherz", no matter if her PR people dragged her to a hairdresser or not.

Nope. I replied to the one above stating that people must have been contemplating the disc.

I was.

You are in a fighting mood today, aren't you. I need to do some work though and will quote an old favourite: "Ah'll be back."

damn! and i spent a few minutes googling for klinger in a moo-moo to illustrate that "general unpleasantness" / "general in a peasant dress" thing. ← Start a new (neutral) thread and let us have it anyway?

Yeah, right... Isn't that "Frau Dorftrottelin"? Like "Frau Bundeskanzlerin", I guess ← I don't think that there is a title that goes along with that. At least I hope there isn't.

Name your poison and ask if I have any of it. If you hit one spot on, you'll get the 1,50 back as well. (I promise to give an honest answer)

Yeah. It's usually used to describe Angela Merkel, I know, but I didn't want to insuate anything. Nothing. Nada. Not really. P.S.: And it would have to be "Dorftrottelin" then, anywho, err how.

Now, if you had some Teddy Wilson I don't have yet ...

BTW: The Tequila is still available ... The Euro 1,50 are gone though.

Don't use the word logical in this thread. We're talkin' "Dorftrottel" here.

35? How do they stay that young?

If you go a bit south of that, you're spot on. The correct version is "Eine Ratte badet sich". But even my dad didn't know that one, and he grew up their, err, there.

Sounds cool to me. Back to jazz ...
