I like Trainspotting alot as a film, but I'd be hard-pressed to tell you a single song that's on the soundtrack. Was it really that great a set of songs? I don't remember it being a blockbuster music release, like Purple Rain, Saturday Night Fever, etc.

That is the deal -- they play a song that was popular the summer that you were 16 and partying, you get that warm feeling of nostalgia, and the company's logo appears. Repeat until logo = warm feeling. Mission accomplished. Devious and outright mechanical, but effective. I agree, but I also don't think that's a new development, been going on for a long time. Some of us have just reached the point in the process where we're the ones that now recognize the oldies that are being played in the commercials as "our" music.

Nice! Mine shipped on 9 October but hasn't arrived yet You sure you didn't order it from Zweitausendeins? Box from Zwei....er... Dusty was on my porch this afternoon!

From musictap: Island Records will spruce up Exodus from Bob Marley and the Wailers as a Special 30th Anniversary Edition. This reissue is expected on November 20. Not sure how this will differ from the current deluxe edition, which is a nice package already. Maybe a reissue with a bonus dvd, like the Sound + Vision edition of Legend?

From musictap: Fantasy Records will release the jazz title of Blue Soul from Blue Mitchell, scheduling the disc for March 4. Fantasy also plans Sextet in New York from Cannonball Adderley on the same date. Concord Records will release The New Crystal Silence from Chick Corea and Gary Burton, with a release date of February 5.

Ebay craziness isn't limited to vinyl or box sets. I was looking for a particular Hot Wheels toy for my son for a Christmas gift, and it's up to $126 with almost 3 hours left. Granted, it's not one of the 99 cent Hot Wheel cars you can buy off the shelf, but it's not worth more than $20-30, IMO. edit - final price for this TOY was $190.50!!

I picked Grindelwald as a place I'd love to live - it's breathtaking!

If people want to post primarily in the political forum, that's their choice. As I said, it seems odd to me to hang out at a jazz bb and not really talk jazz or music very much. I'm sure there are probably bulletin boards out there that are dedicated to politics, just as this one is for the O-band and jazz. Doesn't it get tiring for the 2-3 most vocal liberals and the 2-3 most vocal conservatives to constantly argue with each other, knowing they're not getting anywhere? Either way, different strokes....

I can't think of anyone meeting that description. MG There used to be a place on the board (must have been on people's profiles) that told you which forum they posted the most in. I can't find it now, since the board software has been updated, so I don't know if that is tracked anymore. But there are/were posters here with upwards of 80% of their posts in the political forum.

Here's a that someone took and set to Porcupine Tree's "Collapse the Light Into Earth", that (I think) fits the song perfectly. It's simple, but I can't stop watching it.

I don't think there's a problem. We're all at different stages in our listening - sometimes we talk about music, and sometimes we talk about other things. The only thing I don't really get is people who only post in the politics forum on a jazz bulletin board, and essentially/effectively nowhere else.

You might want to go to the Stupid Questions thread and ask whether that's a good idea or not first.

Isn't that a British-English expression? Yes! I had to check the definition, to see what it meant in "real" English! LOL @ Ron's comment, upon which I won't comment!

Blimey!!!

Where? Ok ok, since you asked: Charles Mingus Sextet with Eric Dolphy - Cornell 1964 (2 cd) ...I was holding that one back. (actually it wasn't on there when I checked earlier)
