I ordered Jan. 21, received a confirmation from them. However the order is still not here. I e-mailed them with (so far) no response. Not my previous experience, except the last time I ordered. That also took a long time to arrive, although it eventually did. Just wonder if they've switched from 1st class to media mail to save a few pennies.

A tax rebate to rescue the economy from recession. ... or a payoff from the government to stop talking about it, depending on how you look at it. You know what's really funny about this, they could just levee the cut against our current taxes, but everyone knows then people wouldn't spend it. So they cut a check instead... If I had money for a set, that Chu Berry would be mine! Chu Berry is my choice too.

I've ordered many times from Newbury Comics. CDs used to arrive in 2-4 days. The last 2 times I've ordered it's taken much longer. My present order is currently 12 days old & still not here. I e-mailed & so far have not received an answer. Comments??

I have the Lonehill also. Great music.

I am a big fan of the Burke series. Love the first four or five, indeed as noire as they come. My favourite modern crime novelist is James Crumley. To quote The Guardian, 'The poet laureate of American hard-bioiled literature'. The Last Good Kiss by Crumley is one of the all-time best in the genre.

In a more "traditional" vein - Gianni Basso on the Philogy label.

I've heard him live with Eddie Daniels among others. Just listened to a CD he's on led by Joan Stiles called Hurly Burly. He sounds excellent as does the rest of the CD.

One of my favorite novels of 2007. Probably mentioned earlier in this thread - maybe even by me. I wouldn't go through the 100 previous pages in the thread either.

The Village Voice just raved about this, and I was considering checking it out. Let us know if it lives up to the hype. I'm just about done with Rushdie's Haroun and the Sea of Stories. Wanda Coleman's book of short stories is definitely worthwhile. Complex, moving writing.

Didn't the erstwhile Lon (jazzbo) get banned from AAJ for some rather pointless reason? Perhaps he prefers not to comment.

Mine is valid.

I like the Atavistic series. John Corbett seems to know his Ra.

More like Ruth Oy vey What I have heard so far instilled in me an urgent desire..... ...to hit the STOP button. Seriously I was ever so unimpressed and felt that I had heard it all before, only performed better. So, to answer the original question: I respectfully (really) disagree. I hope she is able to overcome her problems.

Exactly.

The New Jazz albums are all worthwhile.

hatOLOGY 505 - one of my favorites.

Finally got to see There Will Be Blood. It doesn't resemble Magnolia in any way, shape or form. Daniel Day Lewis was great. The ending was quite disturbing. The movie received several Oscar nominations this a.m..

I don't get promos. of anything. I like this 2 CD set. Doesn't matter to me if you don't. I can take it.

Opening here tomorrow. Plan to see it over the weekend.

Nice shoes.

John Wideman: God's Gym Wanda Coleman: Jazz & 12 O'clock Tales

Thanks for your usual unbiased, objective opinion. BTW, I love Dewey too.

Packers kicked butt after those two "miscues" at the beginning.

I hope so.

Yeah - nothing better than a woman with a horn.
