Ordered. Couldn't resist.

newest Emmy Lou Harris, Eilen Jewell, Marcin Wasilewski, Konitz Live At Birdland

Treme True Blood current episodes

I've listened to Far Side several times & like what I've heard.

Brewers continue to play well.

Yes. And Farewell My Lovely has the most diverse characters and wildest scenes of all Chandler's novels as well as perhaps less of his unpleasant personal quirks. I'm a fiend for this stuff. Re Nero Wolfe, there's quite a post-WW2 darkness and gloom about the 3 Zeck novels. Dancing Bear by James Crumley is terrific and chapter 3 is the best writing of any American crime writer. Crumley's The Wrong Case and, for much of the way, The Last Good Kiss are also xlento (Hank Mobley's word). Great plot in Pop. 1280 by Jim Thompson. I like the tension of Maigret at the Crossroads by Simenon - it was made into one of Jean Renoir's first sound movies - wonderful, no English subtitles but perfectly clear if you read the novel first. Don't miss A Coffin for Dimitrios (The Mask of Dimitrios) and Journey into Fear by Eric Ambler. For that matter, don't miss the Sherlock Holmes short stories. I agree re: the Crumley books.

All of the Venus CD leader dates are very good.

We have friends who have a Stanford graduate son who is an addict. No matter what they do, it doesn't change anything. It's what he won't do that's the issue (IMHO).

I'm sad about this. I like both of the Winehouse CDs I own.

Not sure. As a consumer I've never had a problem.

Paul Strand In Mexico Powerful book about an iconic photographer. Comes with a DVD of his film Redes.

Great record. I don't give a crap about the "AP hybrid SACD"!!

Alan, I like them all, but my favorite by far is Vol. 2 of the Unreleased Art series, The Last Concert. Roger Kellaway on piano makes it special, I think. I pretty much like all of them too. I've just been listening to Live In Stuttgart. The only one I didn't buy had some material that I have in another format.

I'm still waiting for a deal to reappear on Consecration.

Too complicated. Hope someone comes up with a better way.

I'm going to get it soon.

Craig Johnson: Junkyard Dogs (A Walt Longmire mystery)

Sal Nistico: Heavyweights Cannonball Adderley: Somethin' Else I'm sure there are many more.

Point Of View (which is great) was on CD in Japan. Don't know if it's still available.

Someone gave me a gift subscription to Jazz Times so I saw that too. Thought it was interesting. I don't have a link either.

Green Bay Packers Milwaukee BRAVES

Brewers SWEEP Cardinals to take over 1st place. I don't know how long it'll last, but it's sweet for the moment!!

Brewers close to within 1/2 game of Cardinals with 5-3 victory tonight.

Brewers shut out Cardinals 8-0. That's more like it!

Hope the music is as great as the cover.
