This is a great album, it was actually one of the first jazz lps I bought so I know every note 'Moanin' is probably my favourite track but it's all amazing music.

Here's the link for this weeks show ' Musical Map' http://www.notdarkyet.de/00000096a90641a01/index.html

Why has nobody mentioned 'When The Levees Broke'? Vietnam The 10,000 Day War The Fog Of War BBC Global Dimming / The Power Of Nightmares

Indeed. It's pure pleasure listening to his anecdotes and comments. It's also helping expand my horizons a bit into artists I previously either hadn't heard or ignored.

I couldn't agree more. The shows are very entertaining. Any chance you remember where you got 'Weather' and 'Baseball' from ? I can't find them. Hmm. Can't seem to get a direct link to the topic in question, but seek out one entitled "First 7 XM Links." What I did, after getting to the Discussion Forum, was do a search for "Theme Show," limiting the search to the Rare Recordings folder. Search works much like it does here. There are several pages of related links, most pointing to Rapidshare files containing mp3 or wma versions of the shows. "Baseball" is a bit harder to find now since it was included on a bonus CD released with some copies of Dylan's new album - so some of them pulled the mp3 copies. On the left hand side of the page you'll see 'White Man Stew', click and shows 1 -18 are all archived with links. I didn't realise this until I'd spent aging searching for the shows one by one.

Cell phones. They are a plague, folks riding bicycles with umbrella in one hand and cell tucked under the chin,guys riding MOTORBIKES gabbing on cellphones, teachers being attacked for telling children to stop texting during class. I refuse to have one.

Right now Macha iri genmaicha Which is regular green tea plus genmai ( brown rice) plus macha, the bitter green tea used in tea ceremony. Tastes great.

Tap water.....back to the tap.

Sorry. Click on "Discussions," then go to the "Rare Recordings" forum and do a search for "Theme Shows." Not exactly legit downloads, I'm sure, but Dylan seems to look the other way at them. Heck, I found the ExpectingRain link from Bob's official site... The shows are excellent. Thanks for sharing the link.

Japanese tv is awful and dreadful beyond words . I don't watch anything apart from the odd cookery show. I do however need a daily fix of the news , BBC, NBC, ABC and News Hour are required viewing. I mainly use the tv for watching dvds and xvid, of which I watch a lot.

Oddly enough I played 'Go' & ' A Swingin' Affair ' just the other day. They are both great sessions . This week I'll spin 'Doin' Alright' , 'Dexter Calling' and 'Gettin' Around', truncated consonants and all.

Just had a ' blink & you'll miss it ' typhoon. Torrential rain this morning, crickets singing and blue skies now. The weather man was wrong again

36C

I think so too. You would probably like this one , Mr Weizen. It's little known but recommended.

Here's another

Wire In The Blood is another excellent series.

Any other fans of Cracker? British crime procedural at it's darkest and most fascinating. Fans of happy endings stay well away.

Sad news, Love's music was special.

The River In Reverse is indeed excellent.

The rainy season is finally over, the crickets are humming outside and it's a balmy 32C. The humidity has dropped and we can do without the airconditioning, although we have fans in every room.

There's a set called 'Jazz Workshop Presents Pandora'( Somethin' Else) which features her . It's a very listenable set all the way through. The other musicians are excellent. LINK- http://web.parknet.co.jp/mototsugu/cd/credit/pandora.html She also appears as band leader on an interesting cd on Somethin'Else called ' The Sextet'. http://home.cilas.net/yoshiro/discography.html I doubt you'll find either of these outside Japan.

Of course. I'm not defending his behaviour, he was well out of line. From the report it reads as if he were too drunk to know what he was doing. As for his reported anti semetic statements I naturally abhor them.

He's an admitted reformed alcoholic. Falling off the wagon in such spectacular fashion must fill him with remorse. He has my sympathy.

How about the ubiquitous Peruvian pan flute bands that play in shopping streets restricted to a two tune repertoire of James Taylor's "Everyday" and Gary Puckett's "Lady Willpower"? Or how about they play Puckett's pedophiliac "Young Girl" over and over... (Can you tell I hate Gary Puckett?) British fans of the TV programme "The fast show" will, of course, have a great affection for the Andean pipe street bands so wonderfully and hilariously parodied in the show (if not for their music). (Or was it only one band that circulated around all the major shopping centres of Britain?) Kalo, count yourself lucky you didn't live through the early fifties when pop music was REALLY at its worst. White teenagers would not have turned to R&B in the mid fifties, leading to the creation of Rock n Roll, had the pop music of that period been even slightly less insulting to one's intelligence. If you really want to torture yourself, try Guy Mitchell's early fifties hits. MG Sorry - forgot you were on our side Sidewinder... Hey MG Do you remember The Stargazers, Teddy & Pearl Carr, A White Sportscoat & A Pink Carnation, Alma Cogan & Mario Lanza etc ?
