Probably tacky to reply to myself, but yes he can & did. Go Brewers!!

How's this? It's been getting good reviews, and I'm looking around for a good used copy here in Chicago. I think it's excellent. As you know, it did win the Pulitzer for fiction.

Junot Diaz: The Brief Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao

Can Sabathia save the Brewers "bacon" tomorrow on 3 days rest?!? We'll see.

Go Brewers.

Irrational exuberance. Mets lost. Phillies lost. Brewers (Sabathia) beat Pirates. Brewers & Mets now tied. Indeed, go Cubs - especially (only) tomorrow.

Burn After Reading was just O.K. Go see a good movie like "Frozen River".

Better than you'd think, not as good as it might have been.

Basically terrible reviews. http://www.rottentomatoes.com

Roberto Bolano: The Savage Detectives

Cubs lose 5 in a row, but Brewers lose 4 in a row. I give up (almost).

John McNeil / Bill McHenry Quartet: Rediscovery (Sunnyside) Really, really good (IMHO). Oops, noted earlier. Still excellent.

Well - I can't resist. Sabathia pitches a one hitter complete game shutout (really a no hitter if anyone saw the play). Looks like the Brewers will get the wild card. Will they catch the Cubs? Probably not, although they still have 6 games together (& I do know what happened the last time they played each other). Brewers would clearly win either of the other 2 NL divisions.

Linda Hogan: People Of The Whale

Who's playing bass? Several months ago I saw / heard Patrice with Abe Laboriel. Thought I was going to hate it. I liked it!!

I agree. I love the "squeak". Candy is one of my favorite Lee Morgan records.

I decided to renew. They've reduced shipping costs on CDs, & I like the $1 off on each CD for subscribers (which has always been in place). The renewal cost added $15 / year. So far seems worth it.

Cowboys & Indians American Indian Art Third Coast Music

for me, but that's just one vote.

Cubs lose, for all of you who can't stop saying fuck. It's only one game, but what the hell.

If you don't see it by tomorrow, let me know. Arrived today. Sounds great.

Waiting for my copy (ordered on the 13th).
