I see Joanna around Portland sometimes, usually at restaurants. She's a looker. I've never heard her play, but apparently she's bad-ass! I think that most of the songs that he wrote in the first 3 or 4 albums were about her.

Long story short, I play trumpet with this group called March Forth (whose name comes from the fact that we sometimes do march, and that the first gig was on 3/4/03). It's a 30+ piece band that I mentioned once before in an earlier forum. 11 horns, 10 drum/percussionists, the rest are dancers, stilt-walkers, jugglers, fire-dancers, etc.. We do everything from Klezmer, to Monk, to Duke, to Bulgarian music. So, imagine my surprise when I got this message last week from our tenor player telling me that we have 3 ampitheater gigs coming up: 1. W/ No Doubt and Blink 182, which already happened, and Gwen Stefani is a serious minx/bambi. 2. W/ KISS/Poison--neither of whom I've ever really listened to, but w/t/f...and 3. W/ Fleetwood Mac. I actually dig some of their stuff. We will of course be playing Tusk. So, it's not like tables with cocaine and groupies everywhere, or free anything (we got 1 16 oz. soda ticket each! ). But I can now add these shows to my resume, or omit from, depending on the need. Feel free to make as many jokes as you wish, as I enjoy the good ones. See you all there!?!?!

After getting hit really hard a few times, I learned to catch the ball. It saved my ass a few times, and then I eventually became a goalie on the soccer team. That is, until I started smoking herb and lost all interest in prep sports.

Well, the show was excellent. Lonnie Smith has lost nothing. Krow and I were both deeply impressed by the FUNK laid down by Mr. Turbanstein. Crash were cool, too. Tonight will be as good, or better.

How'z 'Bout Dyan Cannon?

For some vague reason, this reminds me of the "Semen" thread. Hmmmm.........

The Columbia Years, 1955-1985 or some such...would have gotten my vote, had it been included in y'r poll. So I guess I'll vote for the In a Silent Way Box, just because I spin it the least.

Well, I have 2 of those tracks: Prince Albert and Decifering the Message. It says that Prince Albert appears on the original LP config., but not D'ing the M. I could help you w/ those, Brownie...if you want 'em.

When I was around 14-15 I'd been dating this girl that was a cheerleader at my school (junior high). Her father was what the Mormon church calls a "Stake President", who sort of presided over all the other "Bishops" in his area. A big-time, important, Mormon fella. A real dick, too. So, the relationship with this girl started to falter, probably due to my non-membership in their religion. One night (in the "September" of our relationship) I was over at my friend's house, in the family room in the basement. This was where we used to plan all of our endeavors (mooning family restaurants, prank phone calls, taking Mom's car out for a test ride, etc.). This room was right next to his sister's bedroom, which always had lingerie lying around on the floor, visible to whoever walked by. So I decided to ask her if she had any expendable pieces of lingerie around that I could use for a prank. Long story short, I gathered up all of the lingerie in a paper bag and took it over to the girl's house. Her dad answered the door, and I handed the closed bag to him, and asked him to give it to his daughter, and to tell her that I was "just r-e-a-l-l-y tired". He cautiously said OK, and I took off. I came home that night and saw his car in my driveway, and while I hid in some neighbors' bushes I watched him talking to my mother. She was very visibly trying not to laugh as he lectured her about my behavior. We still laugh about it.

Tom Waits--Mule Variations

This is one of my favorites. I've had shipping take anywhere from 2-5 days. Carmell Jones...talk about underrated!!!

Has anyone noticed the funky intonation (or tape) on this session? It seems awfully sharp to me.

I'm not sure I feel ya' Noj, don't people use that term often? Or am I missing your point?

Pm'n' you, re Dorham lp's. MM

Up w/ revisions.

He's had pretty well-documented knee problems since December.

Can you grasp how fucked they'll be if they choke tonight?

Do they have a pregnancy select ?

The former. I have many more Mosiacs than I have children, or impregnated girlfriends. About 22:0. B)

Tyner is on old, but check back in a few hours.

Up, with $ reductions.

As though I needed another justification/rationalization!!!

It's the Prevue one, and it's only $8.50. I'm THERE! Thanks, dudes.

I put this cd on hold, and thought I'd nab it. But first, I thought I'd ask some of you folks if it's worth it. I guess it's rare, as half/eBay didn't have it, and Amazon wanted like $90 for their only copy. So, what's the word?

Vote Democrat...? What other option is there?!!!
