01) I got suspended once for a week for smoking in the girls' bathroom. Fire hazard, my ass.
02) On my grade report the biology teacher wrote "[name] who?"
03) The headmaster warned my parents about the
Just to feed your dreams a bit:
Vintage Archtop
Our guitarist plays this one on occasion... yes, he was/is crazy ... The Royale Premiere by Ian Schneller. He says it's the best guitar (I think it's around $8000, or so) he ever played, and he has lots, especially vintage models.
Cheers!

Edit: Oh, and welcome to the board!
No music.
Too distracting.
But in the living room, I had some remastered Judas Priest running way too loud. And no, that was not the reason for the bathroom visit.
Cheers!
THAT one sounds VERY interesting. I don't have it and am planning on ordering it.
Trouble is that it was released by/is marketed by Zyx (Label: Slp (ZYX) ) in Germany. Does anyone have that edition. How does it sound?
Anything by Zyx I've gotten very weary of. They have some of the worst-sounding releases of the millenium over here.
Cheers!

I'm surprised I've never heard of this guy.
But then again, there's this excellent pianist from Denmark, a virtual Monk clone, called Jan Kaspersen. Everytime I see him, I wonder why he isn't world famous.
Jan Kaspersen (Danish and English version available)
"Marvellous records from a Dane whose music is a beautifully personal inventive and humorous response to the particular influence of TheloniusMonk". The Penguin Guide to Jazz.
I saw him give a solo concert at the Copenhagen Jazz festival two years ago, at which he played on this wonderfully rich Bösendorfer. He's played everything from Satie to Monk, from Ellington to Doerge. Wow. And he's a fun guy.
They announced it a while back. My DSL connection must have been quietly updated to double speed without me noticing until now.

Will listen ... now.
I'm reluctant to post here. It looks like nobody has his/her CD yet? I mean, the bonus disc contains almost exclusively stuff from my collection. There are some titles I have heard but can't place (towards the middle and again at the end), but many are, as you said yourself, classics.
Two of them are tunes my dad played over and over again, that one with that guy R. in it, who is not the most sociable, and that one with the F alliteration. I mean, I could sing along with those, although my Mr. R. version is a different one.
Cheers!
A link to the lyrics, not the tunes.

With a voice like that, it don't matter.
Am listening to "Drummer Man" again.
Been in my top ten of faves forever.
I never get tired of it.
But then again, I'm a drummer.
"[...] he's not only a wizard with his drumming sticks,
he's not only a wizard with his drumming sticks,
he also knows a lot of other clever tricks."

OK.
Sacrilege.
I want these. They cost an arm and a leg. I'm looking for an, err, friend, who, err, can, err, replicate, err, and then, err, trade, err, ...
Do I get thrown off the board now?
*hugs & kisses"
I just did some research. I'll start going for these once I have the cash. Numbers 01 and 05 are available at the moment. maybe ... or not ... or ... damn, I don't have the cash.
Guy,
can you tell me more about these? I don't have them. I actually have very few CDs, maybe 5 or 6, but she's top-of-the-shopping list material.
Cheers!
