Seconded!

If you have something to offer, just make a thread in the Offering forum, and state that you're interested in trades. People will offer you what they have available, in my experience, and you can then decide if there's something of interest to you. Alternately you can check out people's lists of things they have available for trade - like felser for instance. If you see something you're interested, make him an offer from your pile of duplicates/trade material. I've successfully made trades in this manner with board members all over the U.S., as well as in Ireland, England, France, Israel, Canada, and Singapore.

Isn't that essentially what the whole Offering and Looking For Forum is? I know I offer up things for trade in there pretty regularly, as do many others.

Into the Crim Zone...

Connnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnndicknnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

Shaking goat hooves?? That actually wants to make me hear it even more, I think, LOL.

Ron Miles with Bill Frisell - Heaven: I wasn't aware of this one either, but may have to check it out. Good write-up in allmusic. Thanks for the heads-up!

SI.com explains it frame by frame. Phelps chose to take one more stroke before getting to the wall, while Cavic was trying to glide into the finish wall. Amazing win, by .01 second!

I like them. October has been the one I've actually been most impressed with, maybe because I gave it less attention in the past. The bonus tracks on that one are really good. Boy is well done, but the War bonus disc could have been better. Under a Blood Red Sky is next on deck for September 30th I think. There are no bonus CD tracks from what I've read though, which disappoints me. The DVD will have additional material on it. I'm looking forward to Unforgettable Fire, which I assume will be after that.

Thanks for the review Phil! I've been curious how they'd integrate Gavin Harrison into the group's sound. I'm more than ready for another KC studio release - been too long.

Amazing! ps - Freeeeeeeeeeeeeedickeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Congratulations and here's to a happy lifetime together!

...but do they play chess?

I think it's overkill still, but here's more info from AAJ: "Disc 1 of Kind of Blue: 50th Anniversary Collectors Edition will feature the original album in its entirety with the “Flamenco Sketches" alternate take, the rare “Freddie Freeloader" false start, and a selection of in-the-studio dialog from the Kind of Blue sessions. Disc 2 is a CD of rare musical material circa the Kind of Blue recordings including the very first session by the classic Miles Davis sextet (May 26, 1958 -- Davis's 32nd birthday -- with Adderley, Coltrane, Evans, Chambers and Cobb), more than a half hour's worth of studio material -- “On Green Dolphin Street," “Fran-Dance," “Stella By Starlight," “Love For Sale" -- previously available only on the two-time Grammy award winning Miles Davis & John Coltrane boxed set ("The Complete Columbia Recordings 1955-1961); and the first authorized release of two extended live performances: “So What" from the April 9, 1960 Den Haag Concert featuring Miles, Coltrane, Kelly, Chambers and Cobb; and “All Blues" from the April 8, 1960 Zurich Concert (featuring the same band). The final disc, Disc 3, is a DVD including an in-depth documentary illuminating the story behind Kind of Blue; and the historic April 2, 1959 television program “Robert Herridge Theater: The Sound of Miles Davis" starring Miles Davis and John Coltrane. This deluxe Collector's Edition will also include a vinyl LP copy of Kind of Blue, a poster, and an LP-sized 60-page hardbound book. " So from the looks of it, the only previously unreleased material on CD are the two live tracks.

I'll think about it, but only if you award a prize for last place.

I think it will depend on what the unreleased stuff is.

From Musictap: "On September 30, Columbia and Legacy will release a 50th Anniversary Edition of Kind of Blue by Miles Davis. Originally released in 1959 (slightly over two years after I was born...but I got to it), this classic left an indelible mark in Jazz. With a gathering of extraordinary musicians (Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Jimmy Cobb, Bill Evans, and Paul Chambers, this classic is one for the books. This Deluxe Collector's Edition of Kind of Blue, will feature 2CDs, the first with the entire album and a few sessions extras ("Flamenco Sketches" alternate take, false start on "Freddie the Freeloader," and sessions chatter. The second disc will feature material that came about as a result of the sessions. There are things from the very first session, a half-hour's worth of studio material, and two extended live performances from two separate shows in 1960. There is an included DVD with a documentary of the story behind Kind of Blue, and the April 2, 1959-aired Robert Herridge Theatre: The Sound of Miles Davis. The fun doesn't stop there. This set will also include an LP of the album, a poster, and an LP-sized 60-page hard-bound book. Whew!! We're talking definitive here."

I don't know. I thought the Cowboys' first string offense and defense looked very good against the Chargers. They didn't allow the Chargers to move the ball, and they Boys scored relatively easily on their only offensive drive. After the Cowboys started putting in second stringers (and rusty players like Pacman), then the Chargers first string moved the ball. And the Cowboys special teams looked pretty crappy. That helped the Chargers quite a bit. Chargers will be up there in the race for sure though. They're very good. I don't know if they're the best in the AFC though.

I've got a dirty old baseball that I got autographed by Nolan Ryan, Mike Scott, and a bunch of other Astros (Alan Ashby, Bill Doran, Billy Hatcher, Craig Reynolds, etc) in about 1986 or so. They came up to College Station and played an exhibition game against the Aggies that year. A wheelchair-bound beer drinking buddy of min got special permission to go out on the field after the game and he invited me along with him to get the autographs. Since I wasn't expecting it, I didn't have a ball ready, and just grabbed a random beat up ball that was lying around.
