Update from Miles Beyond website:

The scheduling for the Spurs/Mavs series has been strange from the start. Seems like they should have had Game 1 on Monday instead of Sunday, giving the Spurs a little more than 36 hrs rest from their previous road game. And Game 2 should have been Wednesday, then moving to Saturday for Game 3 in Dallas. I think the injuries and exhaustion (and a determined and ready Maverick team for that matter) caught up to the Spurs in Game 2. Hopefully Game 3 sees a better, more evenly matched game.

According to Music Tap, Fantasy also has a Coltrane release titled "Fearless Leader" slated for September. Anybody shed some light on this one?

Not much to speak of, but here are a couple new items: Eddie Palmieri - El Prodigioso...50 Anos Del Maestro Ali Farka Toure/Toumani Diabate - In the Heart of the Moon

I just recently picked up the Atomic/School Days "Nuclear Assembly Hall" and Triage "American Mythology" sets in a trade with a board member, and really enjoy both. for each. The DKV Trios are both good IMO as well.

Basie Mosaic from Amazon UK: Ordered 24 April, shipped 28 April, arrived today Replacement Dexter Gordon box from zweitausendeins: Shipped (supposedly) 21 April, still not here

The original post in this thread by 7/4 quotes from ECM's website, indicating it is a live recording.

PM sent on Copland, DeFrancesco, & Martino discs.

One month away.... Cover "art":

I don't have anything against compilations per se, but I don't think I'd want one from Coltrane. Rather have all the recordings themselves! I listened to the first two discs of the Paul Chambers Select last night, had some great Trane on there!

To avoid any software hassles, you can watch the trailer on youtube.

Do they keep re-treading the same story for Superman (with some tweaking - like Lois Lane having a kid now), or is this a continuation of the stories from the Christopher Reeve films? Or a completely different storyline altogether? That trailer didn't really do that much for me, to be honest. I saw a trailer on tv for the newest X-Men movie that looked more interesting.

I would guess that means around September. Thank you for sharing that information. It is more than I ever received for my order. I will keep my eye on their website for that Wes Montgomery box, I guess. ...My replacement order (which is now only the Dexter Gordon Prestige box) was supposedly shipped out on 21 April, but hasn't arrived yet either.

It's actually cheaper at Amazon (your other linked company), and you can get free shipping there on $25+ orders.

Amazon has some of their Criterion DVDs at 45% off at the moment. Free shipping on orders over $25, too.... 45% off sale I finally broke down and ordered "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".

No worries Jim. My post disappeared, which made me wonder if there were problems with the database. Then I decided to look for my thread and found it gone as well. Figured that's probably what you did. Thanks...

Okay, I know I posted to this thread, linking to a thread I started with the same topic. My post and my thread are gone. Not that I particularly care, but what gives??

If you go down to the bottom in that other thread, you should see a box that says "Moderation Options". In there you should see a choice to delete the topic yourself, as the creator of the thread.

bump.... I may be heading up to Baltimore next month for a couple of days. Can anyone provide any updates on cd shops in Baltimore? * Normal's Record & Book Store 425 E 31st St Baltimore, MD 21218 (410) 243-6888 * Sound Garden 1616 Thames St Baltimore, MD 21231 (410) 563-9011 Are these still there?

A couple of comments in this thread... I have it on my "to get" list.

I didn't care for the Cowboys' first day of the draft very much. They had three needs - OLB, Safety, & O-Line help. They picked up Ohio State LB Bobby Carpenter in the first round, which I think was a solid pick. But then they had a couple of good safeties and OL prospects available in the second, and decided to choose a TE (Anthony Fasano), which is not a position of need. In the third round they picked up a DE, Jason Hatcher from Grambling...again, not a position of need, with some solid choices (and more highly rated) still available at positions they needed.

I appreciate the honest and straightforward response, Ray. For me it is too soon to watch a dramatization of what happened. And I tend to agree with some of the other comments I've read here (and on the SH forum thread). A journalist who wrote about the events right after it happened wrote to inform the public - there was an immediate need to let people know what had happened. And books that are written after the fact as anaylsis or theory tend to be more serious, and for a much different audience than movies. IMO, movies are in the realm of entertainment for the general public, whether the director and producers wish to think their work is higher-minded or not. It's too soon for this topic to enter the realm of entertainment.
