dgs, the league has fined Darian for that tweet. http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/cfl-55-yard-line/darian-durant-fined-inappropriate-tweet-fan-other-fans-204700151.html Without Sheets the Riders have lost four straight. I hope that they can get it together when he comes back. But if it had happened in a bar (I found the actual exchange online despite it having been deleted from DD's site) someone would likely be facing assault charges...I love how Rider fans are sticking up for Durant online.

the CFL should just be happy that Twitter exchange with Durant happened online instead of in a bar!

To paraphrase Fineas & Ferb re you beating a dead horse, 'Why yes, yes you are!'

and The Yardbirds went to get a curry and dug what the sitar playing at the takeaway was putting down, and he was Nora's dad-to-be and...makes about as much sense as anything Crouch has to say. Chicken tika tock, free me from the tyranny of measured time!

“These trains, real and symbolic, redefined the American landscape and the American place, each town or city’s identify at least partially the result of how close or how far it was from an important railroad stop. The trains, and the laying of the track, brought a steady influx of the Asian workers known everywhere as coolies, who may well have been linked to the American Indians through a bloodline broken by the Stone Age migration over the Bering Straight, from the Eskimos all the way down to those Darwin encountered off of Tierra Del Fuego. Those workers could only dimly have understood how their hard labor would help to connect the boundaries of the country with a brace of railroad steel; their presence would be felt decades later even in Kansas City, where Charlie Parker learned to love the Chinese food their descendants prepared.” OMFG! How did Stanley get out of high school writin' incoherent, empty, posturing drivel like that?! That this got published is truly a crime against nature, as in the unjustified killin' of trees...

People in Sorrow, or is Chuck going to do that?

"Life can never be exactly what you want it to be" I always thought that was unusual (but not inappropriate) sentiment for a love song.

double barrells, doubled

agree totally on the mono here, and Roger + Happenings 10 Years Time Ago/Psycho Daisies is bonus track heaven.

I don't have access to that interview - does Root talk about his first (and almost only) recording as leader, a 78 on the Roost label? I just found a copy of the record, but can't find any info - personnel, recording date, location, etc. If I still have it I don't know where it is, hopefully someone else with better filing or memory can answer this...

Huge for Great Worst One, I'll have to have my brother in S'toon get some.

Oh Baby!

or 'radical' or a bunch of other words that get used sloppily.

and vice versa...

Interstellar Space was certainly the one that convinced me to keep working on post-Love Supreme 'Trane, it was like 'oh, this is where he was going, OK then.'

Took me 20 years to get from Love Supreme to Ascension, after Coltrane there's all sorts of possibilities - it's hard to say which way to go! Have fun exploring...

Yes, but did she say "Call me"?

worked for me just a minute ago

Love the B-side, the pride of 'the Aroma'.

Kinda like what happened with the Masked Marauders...

BMWs are the official car of douchebags worldwide.

There's a NYR article where he talks about the importance of various musics to him...

I wouldn't say "harsh" as much as really dense or drastically/smugly circumscribed. Interesting that the calypso remark is Paul Oliver's, not Larkin's. As a more or less principled British leftist, what Oliver (at times and despite his many virtues as a writer on the blues) wanted the blues to be was a protest music. This led him down some primrose paths. No, I read the calypso remark as Larkin's, it comes between two quotations and is of a peice with the rest of his review wherein he makes many cogent points re blues and blues fan orthadoxy, yet remains steadfastly clueless overall. Some of the comments maintain that he was really a blues fan after all, but that's hard to credit given this and his general tenor.

In the same issue some whiner complains about Frisell winning the Critics Poll when he's 'not a jazz guitarist but a C&W and wedding band player' or some such twaddle.
