Hey, beer is 90% water anyway! Same difference - go ahead and enjoy!

You know what they say.... The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Thanks for the recommendations, David. I'll have to start checking those out. I've enjoyed what I've heard from Jon so far, including his work with David Sylvian, the Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, and others. He keeps interesting company, for sure!

It could be my annual post. I don't know. In the last year I played TOO much World of Warcraft, visited a friend in Buenos Aires, Argentina, got laid off from my job (not due to World of Warcraft), went back to the University of Arizona for a semester, and didn't buy much jazz. Now, school's out and I'm sitting at home living off my severance package and personal savings. Are you sure you want me to post more? Well... we (I think I can speak for Conn, Free, SS1, Buzz & co) miss having you around here! The live chats aren't the same w/o ya. I hope you're keeping our border safe down there LOL. Sorry about being laid off too. That sucks.

Welcome back Wes! Is this your annual post, or are you gonna stick around for a while??

Got my package today. Thanks James!

Bump - I've been listening to the Don Cherry/Ed Blackwell Montreal recording (GREAT performance!!!) and while reading through the notes, it says these are the shows that were performed: 30 Jul 89 - w/Joe Henderson/Al Foster 1 Aug 89 - w/Geri Allen/Paul Motian 2 Aug 89 - w/Don Cherry/Ed Blackwell 3 Aug 89 - w/Gonzalo Rubalcaba/Paul Motian 5 Aug 89 - w/Pat Metheny/Jack DeJohnette 6 Aug 89 - w/Edberto Gismonti 7 Aug 89 - w/Paul Bley/Paul Motian 8 Aug 89 - w/Liberation Music Orchestra Has the Metheny/DeJohnette date ever been officially released? All the others have, it would be nice for "completeness" sake if that one was, as well. edit - Looking at my other discs, I think those dates are off in the booklet by a month.

I have no words to add to this. Raccoon rapist's penis bitten off An enraged raccoon has bitten off a man's penis as the pervert tried to rape the animal. Russian Alexander Kirilov, 44, was on a drunken weekend with friends when he leapt on the terrified animal. “When I saw the raccoon I thought I’d have some fun,” he told stunned surgeons in Moscow. Now Russian plastic surgeons are trying to restore his mangled manhood.

I thought that was ridiculous, but it does include a saxophone and a $500 gift card or something, too. Not sure how much a sax costs these days (?).

Bump.... updated list.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the difference between an OBE, MBE, and CBE? Are they all basically the same? Do they all get to be called "Sir"?

I bet with your UMGD discount you could afford it.

Oddly enough, I still never get tired of "Terrapin Station", despite it being one of their "lesser" studio recordings, and not really representative. In fact it's probably the studio recording of theirs that I come back to most often.

I love you, man!

It hasn't switched for me. Occasionally it changes if you google something on the O board and view it from there (I think). The way to switch it back (assuming that's what happened to you) is to click on the "Options" pull-down menu on the far right of the thread topic. Then switch the Display Mode back to standard. If your problem is something else, I don't know how to help, sorry!

Report: McGwire's brother details steroid use NEW YORK (AP) -- Mark McGwire's youngest brother says in a book proposal that he injected the former baseball star with steroids, according to Deadspin.com. Jay McGwire is circulating a manuscript titled The McGwire Family Secret: The Truth about Steroids, a slugger and Ultimate Redemption, the Web site reported Wednesday. Jay McGwire, a body builder, said his brother started using steroids in 1994 and that he injected Mark with Deca-Durabolin. "Mark is a man I think most would like to forgive because his reason wasn't nefarious -- it was for survival," the proposal says, according to the Web site. "My bringing the truth to surface about Mark is out of love. I want Mark to live in truth to see the light, to come to repentance so he can live in freedom -- which is the only way to live." Jay McGwire, who says he has a strained relationship with his brother, could not be reached for comment Thursday. Telephone numbers for his home and fitness center in California were disconnected. Mark McGwire repeatedly has denied using illegal performance-enhancing drugs. When he testified under oath before Congress in 2005, however, he wouldn't discuss whether he did. "Who knows what might have happened if I didn't get Mark involved with all the training, supplements, the right foods, steroids, and HGH?" the Web site quoted Jay McGwire as writing. "He would not have broken any records, and the congressional hearings would have gone on without him. Maybe Barry Bonds wouldn't have ever gotten involved with the stuff, either."

There's a Buy-It-Now price of $995 for one on Ebay at the moment...

Happy Birthday once again!

Somehow that's funny in light of their cancelling your membership. Sorry to hear that happened though!

Zoinks! 3-7 LOL. I'll pick the Steelers this time. Which means anyone else who picks the Cards will probably be right.
