Damn! Undergroundagent, can you help a fellow board member out w/ a copy? I assume you were being serious...? That seems like a great deal @ $17 and change.

Gone.

This one is going for $11, including shipping to a U.S. address. Max Roach, Wynton Kelly, Curly Russell. Paypal, checks, m.o.'s, $ accepted. Not an easy find around these parts.

I got mixed up, too... B). I meant to put down "Andrew Hill" instead of "L. Young", above.

Go ahead and sell 'em to Morganized. I've spent far too much $ on cd's this month. Including 2 Larry Young BN's.

I didn't get yours. Sent another w/ my email addy. MM

PM'd you. MM

I know that it's completely arbitrary who one chooses to dislike in sports, especially when you can support it with some truths. But to say that the Stockton and Malone-era Jazz were a bunch of floppers and whiners, p-u-l-l-e-a-z-e. Look at the evidence that there was more to these future Hall of Fame players than that. Let's take Stockton. #1 All-Time in assists and steals, Mr. Clutch. His records won't be touched, in our lifetimes. And Malone... well, he will probably be the all-time leading scorer. That's all because of flopping and whining? Maybe 3-4% of his points came from free-throws after he "flopped", but the ref's could have called it that way. It's part of the game. These guys weren't self-congratulatory on or off the court. They played hard and well every game. Sure, they didn't set records in rebounding and/or blocked shots, but in every other major category, look at the stats. Why not just up and try to categorize Coltrane as a "skwalker" (sp.?)?!!!

Hatred? Well, I don't really hate any teams, but there are some I enjoy seeing lose. These include the Dallas Cowgirls, L.A. Lakers, and any BYU teams. I love the Utah Jazz, NY Yankees, Pittsburgh Steelers. I love reading about others' pathetic disdain for the Yankees. Let's give 'em another title to resent!

I'll take the Chets! Sent you a PM. MM

Wow. That fan interference in the 8th was indeed unfortunante for the cubs. It must be a bitch to have to have someone step in and fuck things up when you're trying to do your job. Now an error by the cubs, a run... It's now tied. Damn glad I'm a Yankees fan. But, go Cubs!

Just imagine her sans wig and makeup.

I guess I'm some of both. I collect mostly jazz, but buy many other types of music. Maybe 5:1 . I am also a huge fan, and love to play jazz, play along with the cd or lp, etc.. Sometimes I get a little O.O.C., buying impulsively, and compulsively. This never seems to be inversely proportional to my enjoyment of the recordings though, even if it takes a week to get around to playing them. I think that the feeling of unrest that comes with wanting but not having a certain title or some artist's entire discography--is where it feels like "collecting". Buying just to buy (to me) is like self-medicating. I do that on occasion, too... but I'm working on it. At least I'm not into collecting sushi or something! IOW, I get something out of it that I'll enjoy for years, possibly decades.

That one looks to have been "redesigned to avoid ambiguities" to me. If Borders had thought that this was an emergency-grade situation, they might have acted sooner. I'd rather pay 15-20% less at an independent store for the same cd most any day, for many reasons. Borders has some good sales, promotions (legit), and of course books, though...which grab my interest on occasion. The Borders' mark-ups on music seen higher than those on their other products. Higher than just about any store where I live. That's why I don't feel guilty or cheap for using a poorly worded coupon there. I didn't take the time to cross-analyze the store's past coupons, but if I did, I don't think I'd know if it was "fishy"...because I'm not "in the know" about coupon modification. Anyway, it was fun while it lasted.

I agree w/ $.01 of the above. The alterations to the coupon itself were probably done by Borders or Dell, or an appointed 3rd party. Now, to "make a fuss" or to be obnoxious , might well contribute to a more restrictive/draconian coupon policy. If one politely points out that it doesn't refer to any cisco books, it likely will result in them opting to please the customer. I think that they would first try to redesign their coupons to avoid ambiguities. But they really don't have any way of differentiating between those who got the coupon from Dell, or from some other circuitous route. They might try to find a way to figure that one out. So--I think it's pretty a "slippery slope" assumption to say that they'll do away with the whole program, because discounts (coupons) bring business. They still make a profit and sell products, everybody is happy. My $.02.

It worked! I tried calling first, and spoke to a shift manager. I pointed out the lack of any specifications on the coupon itself. Seems that they are being flexible on the single item not being a cisco book. Now I'm listening to my single cd of Joe Wilder, for a mere $8.99 (Pretty Sound of and Peter Gunn), and enjoying the hell out of it.

No, but Carlin did pen this: "Fuck Soccer Moms". That always makes me chuckle.

Hell yeah, I've done this. At least something very similar. I used to have a lot of duplicates on lp that I had on cd. I was married to a woman at the time who really wanted me to downsize everything (OK, not everything , but she convinced me to sell the lp's that I had on cd. I think back with a deep sense of mourning on the yard sale that we had, with many BN and other titles in a box for the pickin'. I don't think any were first pressings, but there sure were some Liberty's and such. I remember this one guy saying "Wow, there is some great stuff in here!" and looking at me funny . Well, I had this and that in my system, and compromised in the marraige. Now I feel more like this: .

The "Fat Wallet" forum reported that some store managers overrode the Cisco computer book contingency based on a lack of any noted exclusion on the coupon. So if anyone else gets told "No Dice", talk to the manager and see what happens. "Fat Wallet"...A bunch of people b.s.'n online about discounts. Sounds freakin' fun!!!

. I got "gunned down" trying to buy a Joe Wilder cd this morning. They said that the coupon could only be used for 4 specific computer books. Oh, well... I'll bounce back.

Wow. Remind me to not make jokes about or references to "hell" in this forum. I hope that having somewhat hard feelings about someone snuffing out the life of Lee Morgan (my favorite trumpet player, murdered at 33, an aside) doesn't mean that I am also going to hell. Again, it was a joke. This isn't a forum about being "saved", so I guess I shouldn't have said "hell"...and invited a bunch of fervored rhetoric about the Afterlife. I still think that you don't just kill someone if they do wrong by you in a relationship, but hey, what do I know? Hell...I was just wondering if she did time, and how much...if anyone knew.

To reply to the question about my having written that she was going to hell, (I'd drag the quote from Alexander down if I knew how)...that wasn't a definitive or dogmatic statement. It was sort of a joke. But I think that if there is a hell, and one earns a roster spot there, shooting someone and killing them might qualify as an event. Maybe they could have tried some other interventions first. He might have exacerbated their problems by being w/ another woman at Slug's. Glad to hear that she felt like shit, though!

I have often wondered what happpened to her. Is she actually in hell already, or prison, or what? I don't expect anyone to really know this, but stranger things have happened.

I saw these two Fresh Sound discs-- used, trio dates, and I was wondering if anyone here could lend an opinion on whether or not they are as good as they appear.??? Thanks
