Spurs went ice-cold from the field in the 4th quarter. I'm kinda shocked myself, but that's why ya play the games...

up.... For anyone interested, YLT just put out a compilation last month, called "Prisoners of Love". It's available in a standard 2 disc version, or a 3 disc set, with the bonus disc. The third disc includes "unreleased tracks, rare single sides, demos, and remixes". I just ordered the 3 disc version from Newbury Comics (via amazon.com mktplace) for $14.42 plus shipping, looking forward to it!

Ok, how's your team doing so far in the draft? (and in the offseason in general) Dallas has selected two defensive players - Demarcus Ware, and Marcus Spears. I see a big improvement in the front 7, regardless of whether they play the 3-4 or stick with the 4-3. Might have a hard time getting everyone on the field up there. So with the offseason pickups of Drew Bledsoe, Jason Ferguson, & Anthony Henry, I see their remaining needs as free safety, and secondly a wide receiver, and then another offensive lineman. If they can pick up a good free safety in the second round, then they've had an excellent draft, IMO. I'm not sure I get Washington's draft so far, and I thought it was a little odd that Detroit went for yet another WR.

Happy B-Day Mark! Many returns, and many more years of jazz photos to share with us please! -Erik

Maren - that's the most beautiful cake i've EVER seen in my life!!! B-) Thanks again for all the kind wishes!

....since 3 years you Dutch guys have been correcting our English now. B-)

FYI - Stefon Harris' "Evolution" has just showed up in the new arrivals section. Also in there is Living Colour's "Live from CBGB's", and a number of those "Gold" compilations...

Thanks, y'all! The big 4-0 was kinda scaring me, but about half-way through the day, and I still feel as youthful (immature?) as ever. I live in a city that's predominantly Hispanic (like 70%). Around here it's traditional to bring breakfast tacos in to work when it's your birthday, so I thought I'd share a round here as well! Of course, since we have so many folks from different time zones (and for those who like beer with breakfast), it wouldn't be right to offer these without some liquid refreshment, so one of my favorite Mexican beers might be in order as well: PS - I didn't get the Aggie joke B-)

I apologize for my earlier thread-crap, since it didn't really relate to Mosaics, but I still stand behind it. I try to read with my kids every night, stimulate their thinking, imagination, and creativity. I know music can do this as well - it does for me. But I also think that kids should be challenged by reading - the benefits are worth far more than the effort it takes to sit down and spend some quiet time with a book (or in ol' BNBB/Hardbop terms, a "tome" ). In some ways this might help improve the poor attention span that seems to exist in younger folks today (which also may be partially causing the dumbing-down of popular music as well?). Done with thread-crap #2...

The thing that bothers me about this concept is that I still think of Ebay as an auction site. Meaning I compete against other bidders, and get to decide if I want to outbid them. With sniping, you don't get a chance to respond to someone else's last-second bid. edit - what sniping does is effectively turn ebay into a sealed-bid auction, I guess.

I admire your enthusiasm for the music, which I think most of us here share. But if this is all you're reading, you are seriously missing out. There's a wonderful world of fiction/non-fiction/poetry/classic lit/contemporary out there, just waiting to blow your mind. Hell, start with some graphic novels or something if books don't jazz you too much.
