  1. I"m not particularly a fan of any of the 4 teams, but I am enjoying the playoffs still. Especially the Pistons/Heat matchup. I wish Dallas and Phoenix would play some D - the winner is going to need to be able to do that to compete in the Finals, regardless of opponent.
  2. Satan oscillate my metallic sonatas.
  3. What is different about your forum that we would all want to go there, as opposed to posting here, where we've been a community for a number of years now?
  4. Type "Trio Beyond" in the Search block up at the top of this page, and it will bring it up for you - $18.19. Good price, plus the Org board benefits!
  5. Not much lately, but I don't think any of these have been mentioned: Cyrus Chestnut - Genuine Chestnut Michel Camilo - Rhapsody in Blue Spyro Gyra - Wrapped in a Dream Louis Armstrong - Definitive Collection Michael Buble - Caught in the Act (CD/DVD) Mott the Hoople - Mott, All the Young Dudes Chieftains - Essential Wilco - Kicking Television Matisyahu - Youth Eminem - Curtain Call (best of) Elvis Costello - My Flame Burns Blue (w/bonus disc) Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Back my Bullets (CD/DVD) CCR - Chronicle Reba McEntire - #1's Rush - Retrospective 1, and Retrospective 2 When are they gonna get some interesting new jazz titles? sheesh! And how is this Matisyahu? Anybody checked him out yet? Hasidic reggae, interesting....
  6. Has anyone seen Jazzmoose post lately? I haven't seen him in months......
  7. Feliz Cumpleanos!!! :rsly: :rsmile:
  8. Baltostar, with all due respect, this thread is for discussion of a Miles box set that may or may not see the light of day. If you want to talk about the effects of purchasing archival releases versus seeing contemporary artists perform, by all means start a thread about it! I still think my previous comment stands - that many people who post on this board not only purchase archival releases, but also purchase music by current artists, AND see them live. There are all sorts of threads here dedicated to just about any jazz artist you can think of, and many non-jazzers as well. I don't believe people who are interested in this box will be purchasing it at the expense of *not* purchasing something new.
  9. That sounds like Zen. Have you been hangin around Phil Jackson lately?
  10. Here are my recommendations. I agree with the "Genesis lite" comparison for the early releases, but they evolved into a solid, 'modern' rock group. If you aren't familiar with the early recordings, the original singer Fish is quite a bit different than the singer on "Marbles", Steve Hogarth. He's very wordy, and used to wear makeup like Peter Gabriel. Drugs and in-fighting led to his departure, and they replaced him with Steve Hogarth, and changed direction. I think they were always more popular in Europe than in the U.S. in general. I saw them in 1985 at the Rock Am Ring concert at the Nurburgring, and they put on a great show, must have been close to 100,000 at that concert. Early Marillion/Fish: Misplaced Childhood (probably their most well known, with "hits" Kayleigh & Lavender) Clutching at Straws (solid follow up, swan song for Fish) Later era/Hogarth: Afraid of Sunlight (my favorite Marillion release) Marbles Anoraknophobia Brave (concept album, trying to be this lineup's "Misplaced Childhood") This Strange Engine (has its moments, but uneven) marillion.com (also has its moments) edit - I'm not in the Front Row Club. And actually I've unloaded alot of Marillion recordings over the past year or two, whittling my stash down to what I really like. I think the FRC is more for the hard core fans, and comprises various live recordings from their tours over the years (like the King Crimson Collector's Club). Marillion have 3-4 official live recordings already (La Gazza Ladra, Made Again, Anorak in the U.K., and Marbles Live - plus others on their website). If you get hooked enough to pick up all of the studio and official live stuff, you might consider the FRC.
  11. There's a nice half page article about Monday in the current issue (w/Allen Toussaint & Elvis Costello on the cover).
  12. Why not?? because he has Eva and you don't?? Jealousy rears its ugly head again. That, or it's because he has a big head.
  13. Aha! Dinosaur hip bones!
  14. I would venture that many of the people on this board who may be interested in this particular Miles box set also have more than a couple of Freddie Hubbard discs. It's not an "either/or" situation for me. PS - I also happen to like Previte quite a bit, and have a few of his recordings as leader, sideman, and the Groundtruther stuff.
  15. Those look like dinosaur bones
  16. R.I.P. I dug the club AND the record store, though at some point I believe he sold the record store off (?). I have talked to the folks in there a few times over the past 2-3 yrs, and they told me they're not really affiliated with Antone or the club anymore. Lon or Soulstream or somebody may know more a bit more about this than I do.
  17. Actually, I agree with this. If Ginobili hadn't fouled Dirk when it was 104-101, it likely would have turned into a free throw shooting contest for the remaing however many seconds, and I think the Spurs would have prevailed. And Ginobili had a chance to make amends at the very end of regulation but missed the shot. That would have iced it too. But Mavs outplayed the Spurs in the OT, no doubt.
  18. Man, can't you guys be gracious winners?? Cuban trashes the River Walk, calls the Spurs fans the worst in the NBA (they seem too mellow to me), and here you guys go, less than 24 hrs after surviving Game 7 (Spurs COULDA won at the end of regulation), and y'all are trashing Duncan and Parker. Enjoy your series against your next opponent, jeez...
  19. Hats off to the Mavericks for a great win tonight! I think this has been the best series in the playoffs this year, so far. Good luck vs. the Clips/Suns, and then hopefully versus the Pistons/Heat. Regarding the Spurs, I think Van Exel didn't give them anything in the playoffs. Neither did Horry really. Finley was a solid pickup, but the Spurs didn't have enough firepower beyond their 3 stars to overcome the Mavs and their surprisingly deep bench. That said, I don't completely understand the decision to basically try to beat the Mavs at their style of ball. The Spurs' bread-and-butter is their defense, and they essentially abandoned it versus the Mavs. They looked like they were trying to play Phoenix Suns defense! Go all the way, Mavs!
  20. no kidding! could they have started out any better? That's about as good of a 1st quarter as you're ever gonna see, offensively. Spurs seem to have forgotten how to play defense, which they WERE good at this year. I'm kinda surprised Pop hasn't tried putting another big man on the court alongside Duncan. At least help a little with the fast little guys cutting to the basket, maybe.
  21. Out of curiousity, is there a reason you didn't post this in the other Previte thread you created in the past 24 hours?
  22. The ol' reverse jinx, Al? I give the Clips zero chance of winning tonight. You know what reverse jinxes always work? When someone is about to shoot free throws, and the announcer says "he's 8 for 8 from the line". Invariably the guy then misses that shot.
