Chris, you have to provide us a copy of the review!

Should have mentioned more before, that "...in the Attic" is made up of live versions of nothing but deeper album-tracks from his first 4(?) albums. I don't spin it but once every couple years or so, but it's like putting on an old well-worn favorite jacket from the back of the closet. First heard it back in college, and I haven't found it lacking 20 years later. That said, I've never felt any need to explore any of the rest of the man's catalog, as I find most of his 'hits' a little too cute by half.

Twins, separated at birth?? If so, both of you have a great day!!

The only Billy Joel album I've ever needed, recorded live, mostly lesser-known tracks that weren't huge hits. Really top-drawer stuff, none of it 'overplayed'. Songs in the Attic (1981) 1. "Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)" – 5:05 2. "Summer, Highland Falls" – 3:03 3. "Streetlife Serenader" – 5:17 4. "Los Angelenos" – 3:48 5. "She's Got a Way" – 3:10 6. "Everybody Loves You Now" - 3:08 7. "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" – 4:25 8. "Captain Jack" – 7:16 9. "You're My Home" – 3:07 10. "The Ballad of Billy the Kid" – 5:28 11. "I've Loved These Days" – 4:35

Here's another stab at that link: http://www.widehive.com/

Ha! I just cut-n-pasted the info, and never looked that closely at the composer credits.

Aha! I was wondering if that might be a bass trumpet -- and if so, could that be a clue? (Also, could someone upload the third picture? Many thanks.)

Damn, even the cover itself!!! Note the AMG cover on the left, and Amazon cover on the right...

I should probably be able to figure out who this is, but can't quite seem to place him. There's three photos in all, from the same seller. (Can't seem to link the images to this thread, nor save and upload them here. Since the auction ends soon, if somebody can grab the pics and post/upload them here, that'd be great -- thanks!) Also, who's the guy standing (hunched over) in the 3rd pic?? Jesus, I just saw the "starting bid" prices on all three of these, and nearly had a heart attack. $1,750.00 each!! (Edit: the photographer was Clemens Kalischer.)

The Bastards™ seem to have it at the moment.

BTW, I was trying to find more info about a new Phil Ranelin disc that appears to have come out today. But other than the tracklisting on AMG (and the cover), I can't seem to find much info about it (I was looking for a full listing of the participants, and also the composers of all the tunes)... AMG link (fwiw) Edit: Amazon has the musicians, I see - still looking for composer credits. Those searching -- note the less-than-standard spelling of "Perseverance" on the cover (as "Perserverence") -- and how Google auto-corrects for spelling in some cases (and not others).

Just stumbled on notice of this, quite by accident. I've been curious to hear some of Phil Ranelin's short stint with Freddie circa 1979-80, and from what I've read about their two studio dates together (Skagly and The Love Connection - ) -- I'm guessing this new, live document might be a whole LOT better way to go. Long and fairly informative Press Release, and track listing with samples. Appears to be due in early May (despite the press release saying early March). 1. The Intrepid Fox (F. Hubbard) ------- 8:02 2. First Light (F. Hubbard) ----------- 10:13 3. One of Another Kind (F. Hubbard) --- 12:26 4. Happiness is Now (F. Hubbard) ------- 7:11 5. The Summer Knows (F. Hubbard) ------- 8:28 6. Blues for Duane (F. Hubbard) -------- 9:18 7. Giant Steps (F. Hubbard) ------------ 8:45 Freddie Hubbard - trumpet, flugelhorn Billy Childs - piano, Rhodes Larry Klein - bass Phil Ranelin - trombone (1-4, 6, 7) Hadley Caliman - tenor saxophone (3, 6, 7) David Schnitter - tenor saxophone (1, 2, 4) Eddie Marshall - drums (3, 5, 6, 7) Sinclair Lott - drums (1, 2, 4) Don't know either of the tenor players, though I'm sure others here probably do.

Hipster music should at least come with some sort of warning stating that those who listen to it are probably hipsters. Then no one would have the excuse they didn't know.

I loved Moran's first three albums (and everything he did backing Greg Osby -- Osby lost a lot when Moran left his working band). But I've fallen away from his more recent work (most all of it, I'm afraid). I haven't heard "Ten" yet (his most recent) -- but I more 'admire' his last several albums, than I really do 'enjoy' them. But those first three are absolute stone classics. I met and talked with him several times back 8-10 years ago, and thought he was a sharp guy.

The hippest thing they ever did... LW Meets VU

I presume eBay/Paypal have some way to claw-back the money from the seller. (I can't imagine they would eat the cost of such bum transactions.)

Well worth a read, from Salon.com: The "live sex show" professor speaks

Another cool find: 25-Year Refab: Concrete Factory Converted to Castle Home (Don't hover over the pictures (they don't enlarge), and that'll keep the "Google ads" at bay.) I love adaptive-reuse projects like this, that take an industrial structure and make it into a thing of beauty (even if it turns out to be somewhat out of the "brutalist" tradition). Then again, I like some 'brutalist' architecture (though I'm sure I'm in the minority on that opinion).

It's really the lemur that makes this outfit work.

No need to go all the way to Baltimore, the BSO plays regular subscription concerts at Strathmore Music Center in North Bethesda, MD, just a short ride up Metro's Red line. Wow, great to hear that! I will definitely be taking advantage of that. We're giving up both our cars, and will be going totally with public transit in DC, with the occasional Zipcar rental.

Another amazing find: Reuben Margolin (Maker Profile - Kinetic Wave Sculptures on MAKE: television)

Me too. Googled around for the line-up, and found it here. There are a few full-length songs uploaded to Youtube too, just search on "Stanton Davis" and/or "Ghetto Mysticism". Already added it to my want-list at Dusty Groove; they think it'll be available later this month.

Wow, good news? How'd that process work? Protracted any? What did you have to provide as 'proof'? I presume you had to surrender the (counterfeit) set to someone, yes? In any case, glad to hear it.

Perhaps it wasn't as limited as 500. Anyone know? In any case, something's not adding up here.

I dated a gal in college who was a Psychology major, who took the 300 level Human Sexuality class one of the years we were dating (don't ask about the homework assignments, I'll never tell. ) I remember the class prof inviting anyone in the class to an ongoing round-table discussion-group about various sex topics (I even went to a couple), and although I'm sure nothing quite like this ever happened -- I'm sure there were some things discussed and/or even viewed that would freak out some parents with concerns about such prurient interests. (The prof was female, so perhaps she would get a pass, and not have her motives second guessed like a male prof would. Didn't hurt that she was genuinely one of the best and most popular professors on campus either.) With the widespread availability of Internet porn freely available (of nearly every type and variety known to man), how is this incident even relevant in this day and age? Seriously. I'm sure nearly every student at that optional lecture had seen a lot more on-line at some point. In fact, I'm betting a quarter to even half of them could have found explicit footage of something similar in 10 minutes (and let's just admit that half of us here probably could too). Are parents really that oblivious to what's on-line these days? I'm sure the class doesn't even hold a candle to what young adults and even some kids see all the time (unless they lead extremely sheltered lives). Not making a judgment about whether any of this is good or bad for society, cuz that's a whole 'nother can of worms. But the days when Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler were all that was 'mainstream' are long since passed 10 years ago.
