What would be the benefit of having a forum for these threads? There will be the same number of threads either way. And searching for a specific one would involve the same effort, I'd think.

I'm sure Big Al enjoyed this game! It's gotta be Romo time in Dallas. Bledsoe is a tease, and has been that way for a long time. He'll play great one week, then crappy the next. He's had his bell run too many times, I think. He'll never get the Cowboys to the big game. I would have liked to have seen a surprise start by Romo today. I think it might have made the difference in this game, having someone who can move AND can get rid of the ball a bit quicker. You know T.O. was thinking that too.

Heck, $225 per disc ain't nothing. Check this out!

Seems like it's been a dry well for a while again, but I just noticed the following: Charles Lloyd - Sangam Antonio Carlos Jobim - The Unknown Antonio Carlos "Tom" Jobim Lou Rawls - Best of Capitol Jazz & Blues Sessions Cream - Royal Albert Hall (2cd) Stevie Ray Vaughan - The Essential SRV (2 cd) T Bone Burnett - Twenty Twenty/best of (2 cd) Keb Mo - Suitcase Quincy Jones - From Q with Love (2 cd) Quincy Jones - Back on the Block Johnny Guitar Watson - Best of the Funk Years Candi Staton - His Hands Ben Harper - Both Sides of the Gun (2 cd) Smokey Robinson - Timeless Love Frank Black - Fast Man Raider Man v/a - The Best of Miami Vice

Hammer also contributes nicely on some of Abercrombie's recordings.

Cool on playin for Pat Martino!! I hope the HS friend wasn't that dude from Hi-5. My kids watch that show every morning..

That looks very interesting! According to AMG it's not out until next week. Will definitely check that out. I wouldn't have thought to pair Shipp & Medeski.

It's well worth that price. Also, don't overlook the other Chartbusters release, by essentially the same lineup, which is a Blue Note covers set. This one was recorded in January 95.

I dunno if this is the longest suspension ever in the NFL, but it's certainly up there (edit - other than the season long drug suspensions) Haynesworth gets five-game suspension for kick NEW YORK (AP) -- Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth was suspended five games for kicking Dallas center Andre Gurode in the face during Sunday's game. The NFL said Monday that Haynesworth was suspended for flagrant unnecessary roughness. The suspension, which is without pay, is effective immediately. Haynesworth will be eligible to return to the field Nov. 19 for the Titans' game at Philadelphia. "There is absolutely no place in the game, or anywhere else, for the inexcusable action that occurred in yesterday's Titans-Cowboys game," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said.

Albert Haynesworth is a classless punk. He ripped off Andre Gurode's helmet after a play, and while Gurode was on the ground, he stepped on his head, with his cleats. Gurode needed 30 stitches to close up the gashes, and had blurry vision afterwards. I think he deserves a suspension of some sort, not just one of those $25K fines that are drops in the bucket to those players.

wow...

There doesn't seem to be a general Osby thread, so I guess I'll ask here. Has anyone heard the Project Z recording, "Abstract Logix"? It's a Jimmy Herring (Allman Bros & now Widespread Panic) rock/jazz improv thing apparently, and I'm curious about Osby's contributions to it. Is it worth checking out?

A little more info... Terrell Owens reportedly tries suicide By JAIME ARON, AP Sports Writer DALLAS - Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens tried to kill himself by overdosing on pain medication, police said, even putting two more pills into his mouth after a friend intervened. A Dallas police report released Wednesday morning said Owens told his friend "that he was depressed." Details of the report were first released by WFAA-TV. The friend, who is not identified in the report, "noticed that (his) prescription pain medication was empty and observed (Owens) putting two pills in his mouth," the police report said. The friend attempted to pry them out with her fingers, then was told by Owens that before this incident he'd taken only five of the 40 pain pills in the bottle he'd emptied. Owens was asked by rescue workers "if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time (he) stated, `Yes.'" Owens was hospitalized late Tuesday because of what his publicist said was an allergic reaction to pain medicine he was taking for a broken hand. Doctors reportedly tried to induce vomiting. Owens is recovering from a broken right hand he hurt a week ago Sunday. He had an operation the next day to have a plate screwed in, enabling the bone to heal without being further injured. Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said last week that the pain medicine made Owens ill. The Cowboys were off this past weekend and Owens was back at practice Tuesday, although he worked out on his own. Parcells said Owens' hand was improving and he was expected back on the practice field Wednesday. Owens chatted briefly with reporters in the locker room Tuesday afternoon and seemed fine. Owens, one of the league's top receivers during his 11-year NFL career, is best known for wild stunts on the field and other publicity-seeking antics off it. When the Cowboys signed him to a $25 million, three-year deal in March, they said their background checks indicated no red flags. In fact, team consultant Calvin Hill — who mostly deals with troubled players — said during training camp that his department was not involved with Owens because he didn't have a history of those kinds of problems. Dallas police officials said they were planning a news conference later Wednesday, did not immediately release a time. A hospital spokeswoman said early Wednesday there was no patient registered as Terrell Owens, although federal privacy laws allow people to block their name from being released. Owens' publicist and agent, and the Cowboys, did not return repeated calls from The Associated Press. No teammates or Cowboys officials were seen entering the hospital late Tuesday night.

Report: Owens attempted suicide WFAA-TV in Dallas is reporting that Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens attempted to commit suicide Tuesday night. According to a Dallas Police report obtained by the station, Owens was depressed and reportedly took prescription pain pills. WFAA says the report states a woman companion said that she observed Owens putting two pills in his mouth. The woman said the prescription of 40 pills was filled on September 18 and -- until Tuesday -- Owens had taken only five pills. The police report said Owens was asked if he had taken the rest of the prescription; Owens said, "Yes." The Dallas Cowboys have no comment on the story.

Just a heads-up...according to Musictap: "Fantasy Records plan an Expanded Edition of The Tony Bennett and Bill Evans Album (1975). It is expected for re-release on November 7."

I hope you're never in an accident in that thing.

It looks like it got corrected sometime between post #6 and #7 on the 19th Jim. Seems fine now.

I like the Anthology version of "Across the Universe" better than any of the other officially released editions.

One other comment - how much electricity does this thing consume? If you're going to have to plug it in overnight every two or three days, you're going to have a substantial electric bill. Maybe more than the equivalent cost of gasoline for a small Honda Civic or other vehicle.

You do realize how slow a top speed of 40-45 mph is, don't you? You really won't be able to get on expressways in the city, let alone interstates. And I'd bet if you do, you're gonna be honked at for impeding traffic. I'd hate to be in a wreck in one of those, or have any of my loved ones in one, for that matter.

Tampa Bay QB Simms in critical condition Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Chris Simms was taken by ambulance to a Tampa hospital Sunday afternoon and is listed in critical condition, according to reports by several news sources. There is no indication as to the cause of Simms' medical problems. He was hospitalized a short time after the Buccaneers' last-minute 26-24 NFL loss to the Carolina Panthers. Simms appeared to experience medical problems during the game. He was hit hard several times by Panthers defensive players and was taken out of the game in the third quarter. Announcers said Simms had suffered from dehydration in the 90-degree-plus heat and high humidity in Tampa. But Simms, a former University of Texas quarterback whose father, Phil, also played in the NFL, returned to the game this afternoon and led Tampa Bay on a fourth-quarter scoring drive. Observers reported that he left the field on his own power after the game. Simms was not available for interviews after the game, as he was being attended by trainers and doctors. At his postgame press conference, Tampa Bay coach Jon Gruden said of Simms: "He got hit early and he hurt his ribs. We don't know the extent of that, but he played hard today. He played tough and he showed a lot of grit. He really did. It is a credit to him. "He is hurting right now, there is no question. He left the game. I don't know that it was because of his ribs, dehydration or both. He is a very sore and tired man right now, and I am proud of how he hung in there against a very good run defense.'' Simms, 6-4 and 220 pounds, is in his fourth season with Tampa Bay. He was a standout at Ramapo (N.J.) High School and was named USA Today's National Offensive Player of the Year in 1998. He played four years at the University of Texas, although he never really earned the full-time starting job. Amid criticism from fans, Simms shared playing time with Major Applewhite. He was a third-round draft choice in 2003 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Simms played a key role last season in the Buccaneers' run to the NFC South Division championship. He completed 61 percent of his passes for 2,035 yards, with 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Thumbs up for "Mi Gran Pasion" (his first on Messidor), but "Giraldilla" never connected with me. I haven't heard any of his other early recordings.
