Happy Birthday!

Thought you meant this guy.

I bet he shot a teen in Tacoma, just to watch him die.

You create a queue of (single) discs from their inventory that you'd LIKE to have, like this: 1. Miles Davis - Kind of Blue 2. John Coltrane - A Love Supreme 3. Drew Gress - 7 Black Butterflies 4. Jimmy Smith - Back at the Chicken Shack They take Disc 1 (Miles Davis) and send it to you in June, and bill your credit card $6.99. The other discs bump up in the queue then, so that Coltrane is Disc 1. Then in July they take the Coltrane disc and send it to you, and bill your credit card $6.99. The other discs bump up in the queue, so that Gress is Disc 1. This goes on as long as you are keep an account going with them. You can cancel any time, and you can add and subtract discs from your queue at any time, or re-order them. The queue can only be single discs though, not double disc sets or box sets. In addition to the Davis disc they send you in June, you can order 1, 5, 10, 20 additional discs in June, as many as you want, whenever you want. These additional discs are also only $6.99 apiece. These can be any discs in their inventory, single, double disc sets, or box sets.

You're missing something, and I'm not sure what it is. I give up.

So I can only buy 1 cd for $6.99 a month? Why can't I buy them for $6.99 all the time? That seems kind of crazy to me. You can buy as many as you want per month for $6.99 apiece, all the time. As I've been trying to say, just make sure you have a few discs in your queue at all times, because they will take the top one off your queue and send it to you each month, and bill you $6.99 for it. Anything else you want to buy is still $6.99 per disc. These CDs are cheaper than you can purchase them anywhere else new. If this doesn't make sense to you I apologize for bringing it up.

That's not it. They ship you one cd per month for the $6.99. It isn't a membership fee, it's just the cost of the cd. Nothing else.

They're part of BMG. All you have to do if you're interested is sign up with them, and then created a "queue" of discs you'd like. They will send them to you at the rate of 1 per month, for $6.99 with free shipping & handling. You can order additional discs at anytime and quit at any time. There's no other catch. No requirement to buy any in the next year or whatever. Just make sure you have a few discs in your queue at all times, because they supposedly will bill you $6.99 even if you don't have a disc there. They have some ECM discs, some Nonesuch, some Blue Notes, Verves, etc. Mainly new releases/reissues, but some older stuff. So you could sign up, buy the Gress, then cancel your membership, if that's all you wanted, and not be out anything, or owe them anything.

7 Black Butterflies is available through yourmusic for $6.99, no strings attached.

I don't think he's trying to play roots music, so that doesn't really make sense to me. He blends jazz, country, bluegrass, some rock into his Americana stew. It's his music, not roots music.

For those two guys maybe it's in all the colors of the rainbow.

Flip Saunders got fired today. That good or bad?

Don't tell Clem.

I'm enjoying History, Mystery so far, after 2 spins. Bill also has another new recording, titled "All Hat" on Emarcy. It's a soundtrack, with Greg Leisz, Jenny Scheinman, Viktor Krauss, Scott Amendola, and Mark Graham. It doesn't appear to be available in the US (yet), but is out in Germany. I'm hoping for a domestic release soon. Interview with Bill here.

I'd be willing to pay $1.00 per month for CSPAN in exchange for not having to pay $1/month for each of The Speed Channel, The Golf Channel, any of the QVC type channels, the Hallmark Channel, and so forth. I know those channels have their supporters, but they can pay the $1/month for those, as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure there's a way to make things work like that, as least as an alternative to the expanded basic choice.

Two thoughts - if they're going to do this (meter people), they should lower the costs for those that use less than "average". Also, I don't watch 80% of the channels that cable companies force you to pay for if you want "expanded basic" or whatever it's called. How about a pay as you go plan for cable tv too, where you pick and choose your channels. They make you pay for crap you don't want to get the 5-10 semi-decent channels.

Wow - you anticipated 70's Muzak in 1968?

Rest in Peace, and thanks for your contributions.

That Ron S. is one smart ass guy.

From wikipedia: "The swastika shape was used by some Native Americans. It has been found in excavations of Mississippian-era sites in the Ohio valley. It was widely used by many southwestern tribes, most notably the Navajo. Among various tribes, the swastika carried different meanings. To the Hopi it represented the wandering Hopi clan; to the Navajo it was one symbol for a whirling winds (tsil no'oli'), a sacred image representing a legend that was used in healing rituals (after learning of the Nazi mimic "whirling winds" the Navajo rejected the symbol). A brightly colored First Nations saddle featuring swastika designs is on display at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Canada."

Interesting how innocent that name was at the time.

Happy Birthday!

Twice in one year for you! Nice! I'm jealous, of course.
