  1. I wonder why?
  2. compaired definately his | mine | your's to (instead of too) ... right, err, A.? perfactly seperate paralell ... The list is endless. I only picked recurring errors in posts submitted by native speakers (to stem the "we type faster than we think" reprimands). Am I right in assuming that English is going down the shute as fast as my own mother tongue, which, as far as I can tell, is spoken correctly by about 10% of the population? Could it be that "old Europe" is having an adverse effect on the U.S.?
  3. For all you vegetarians out there ...
  4. I've got a one Gbyte player that I'm very satisfied with. It stores more than needed and because it runs on normal small batteries (which seem to last forever), it is virtually fool proof. The sound is good (I added a very good pair of headphones and kicked the ones that came with the player into the next trash can right away). The player is very small, has a good menu system and system updates have been frequent and stable. Transferring songs is a breeze and more than fast enough via USB2. I keep a system partition on my PC which is small enough when compressed to hold an operating system plus tools and have used the player to carry that partition with me whenever I'm asked to trouble-shoot other people's systems. Also in this respect, the player helped make life a lot easier for me. Love it. For my purposes, it's the optimal gadget and I often find myself wondering why anybody would want to have a 20 Gbyte (or even heftier) player. I already have problems deciding which tunes I want to play of the many I put on there. And the player can certainly store enough even for a very long trip.
  5. Too lazy to look if this has been linked to here in the past, but I found this a while ago: Jeru: In the Words of Gerry Mulligan - An Oral Autobiography (Select links on the left to start listening straight away)
  6. Hi, I've been searching the usual sites plus a hundred Google links thin for this one tune. The problem is that there are apparently two versions of this tune available ... I just don't know which one to get. I only found one atrocious sound sample that doesn't tell me anything. So, is there anyone around here who has a copy of this tune and can get in touch with me via PM? Thanks.

  8. Basketball ... a tad different ...
  9. I have to agree with Allen. I've just gone through a rather extensive remastering project for which Cedar was used (or better: had to be used) and if used correctly and by someone who knows what he's doing (usually by people who can keep their paws of the EQ, the real problem in today's remastering process), the results can be stunning, especially when we talk about fidelity. Don't knock it until you've seen the right engineers use it.
  10. Cedar sucks because there are too many people to dumb to use it. The software itself is a class act.
  11. Hm. I've been watching this thread for a while and almost guessed that there wouldn't be many posts in it. This one was perhaps not for the Blue Note crowd. If you, like me and some others on the board, have a much larger portion of swing and big band jazz in your collections and are able to live it up to some good Goodman sides on a Friday night (which I regularly do), this piece of news was a bit of a stunner: It just makes you remember that you are in fact listening to historic music. Hardly anyone left. The sections just didn't blow anymore the way they did for Goodman (and some few others). I played my entire Goodman collection these past weeks for another project (and I think I'm up to 70 or 80 discs, all told) and it just all reminded me of how/why I got into this music in the first place. Man, the section with Griffin was a powerhouse. He might not have been great as an individual player, but as a team man together with the aformentioned players, the section burned down the house ... and will continue to do so, no matter who's still around or who isn't. A sad loss for all of us.
  12. Jeez. You guys are freaks. Get a life! It's almost as if Mosaic has taken over your lives, completely. Totally. Irrevocably. Bunch of Mosaic looneys. P.S.: Freaks!
  13. If that keeps your mind at ease, I'm glad to be of help.
  14. I think the term priapism was floating around elsewhere?
  15. Jim, how is your back?
  16. "Sprechen Sie, Krauten Sie, y'all?" Spoken in some grade zilch American WWII wanker film. Shortly thereafter three [or was it four ] Yanks wipe out an entire German batallion. With rifles.
  17. Yep, and it's got a cool cover as well!
