<cr> means the "enter" key. In old typewriter terms, it means "carriage return".

Oh and also, BMGmusic.com is offering free shipping on orders of 5 discs or more. I just ordered the Billie Holiday Verve Master Takes box from them, for $27.99, which works out to $4.66 per disc, delivered (beating yourmusic.com's price handily!). And I also ordered Glenn Gould's 3 disc Complete Goldberg Variations for $9.99 as well.

ALERT ALERT!! Miles Davis Cellar Door Sessions is now listed at BMGmusic.com!! ($43.99)... Hopefully this means it will show up at yourmusic.com shortly! also at BMG: Marc Johnson - Shades of Jade

Am I reading this right? He hopes to donate $40K (1/3 of his profits) from this one cd that's not on a major label (I assume)? Is $120K a normal profit for a recording like this?

Joe, Caiman still has the Tal Farlow Mosaic set for $50.69. Can't beat that price for some great music! They're a reliable seller too.

BF actually ponying up some funds? Yeah. Have to put the Single Malt on hold for now, I guess. And that's different from any other day because........?

Sorry Sandy....but if you're ever in the area, I'd be glad to have you over for a fine malt beverage and a listening session! edit - As long as you leave your member # back in North Carolina!!

Ok, since I'd like to improve Conn's taste in beverages.... to --> I'll buy this. PM sent!

Because you're being so polite , I'll let you in on this one: Andrew Hill - Black Fire (not sure why this is listed as a new arrival) Miles Davis - Workin' Mark Knopfler - Sailing into Philadelphia Ibrahim Ferrer - Buenos Hermanos and there's the 3 disc Phish New Year's Eve '95 set that's been up for a few days, but hasn't been mentioned yet

Does anybody have the Patton BN Comp "The Organization"? It's a UK only release, per allmusic. I've got all of his BN leader recordings (and alot, if not most of his BN sideman stuff), but this compilation still catches my eye for some reason. I still need to track down his two DIW releases, and eventually the Nilva (hoping that gets a CD issue someday).

and hopefully a beer upgrade as well!

I guess there are people more upset about T.O. being a Cowboy than I am....

I don't know the whole story. He had some injuries last year, one to his neck I believe. I think that actually scared him enough that he decided to retire. That's what I've heard anyway. I heard he was "ok" enough to play last year after the injury, but decided he didn't want to, and wanted to walk away from the game healthy. The Cowboys (either Parcells or Jones) decided to not make a big deal out of it, and let him make his own decisions. I think he's got a young kid (or two now) and wanted to devote his time to his family, too. I think he was a great player! I watched him play for four years as an Aggie, and then in the NFL. He's the leading tackler in Aggie history (and until recently we actually had good defenses). He was a true overachiever, and I think a great role model. He's also from down here in south Texas (Rockport - little fishing community on the coast, where you can buy shrimp off the boats), and is beloved in the area.

Cowboys signed Vanderjagt today. I don't know much about him, other than what I've read (troubles with Manning a while back, plus the most accurate kicker in the history of the NFL). I think it's about time they brought in a solid kicker, after the revolving door of the past few years. For some positions it seems like they really like to go cheap, until it costs them - then they pay big bucks to solve that problem for a year or two, and then gradually go back to their ways. They did this with long snapper Jeff Robinson too. Now they're back to a no-name (Ladocier I think?) doing this. They've also brought in some help at OT, with Jason Fabini, and LB, with Akin Ayodele. I think at this point they still need to address FS (rumor on some of the boards that they're looking at Charles Woodson or Ty Law to switch to safety), another LB, and some additional OL help. Maybe the draft is the solution for those spots at this point. I'm still not real enthused about the T.O. thing. I don't know if winning is more important than character, but if it were my team he'd never be on it.

I stopped looking in their various categories for new releases. Just do the overall "New Arrivals" section, & sort by "most recent" (instead of top selling, which makes no sense to me). It's easier to find the jazz stuff that way, I think.

Yes, it would be this fall. I mentioned this in the Sco thread a month and a half ago...

up.... this from Music Tap:

Steven - How do you like this one? (if this ends up being strike three, I'm not asking again! )

The best I can tell is that it's a fancy name for wireless headphones. Alot of cell phones have them now, and you see the folks walking around with their kinda goofy (IMO) Borg earphone attached, jabbering away.

Ya gotta come back....if only to finish your A to Z thread...

Dave Douglas has another new released slated for 11 April, on greenleafmusic.com. It's called "Meaning and Mystery", and features Donny McCaslin on tenor saxophone, Uri Caine on fender rhodes, James Genus on bass, and Clarence Penn on drums :

I'm not a saint, and I'm not getting on that soapbox again. Maybe it's my turn to take a little break from posting here. Two hot-button topics (Jazzis' spam and illegal copying) back to back is a little much for me I guess. Sorry if I've offended anyone.

Sorry, off my soapbox!

He bought and paid for the cd, that's all good. He can then make backup copies for his own personal use, too. Including electronic copies that can be placed on Ipods or other devices. However, when the CD is sold, the right to possess backup copies of it is transferred to the new owner. He no longer can legally own backup copies of something he doesn't own the original of. There have been a number of discussions about the topic of illegal copies of music (of which I'd include copies that exist on an Ipod when you no longer own the cd) on this board.
