YEAH!!!! Give all our best to your wife. We're all very happy for you!!!! CONGRATS!!!!

Reminds me of a series of three articles I saw on Slate last month. Won't go to the trouble to 'cut-n-paste' them over here (mostly because they look better in their native format, with pics and links, etc...). I found these facinating to read, and I plan to by the author's new book related to the subject, due out next year. from... Dispatches From Girls Gone Wild by Ariel Levy... Ariel Levy is a contributing editor at New York magazine. Her first book, a nonfiction exploration of the rise of raunch culture and the fall of feminism, will be published in spring 2005. From: Ariel Levy (part 1) Subject: Girls Get Naked for T-Shirts and Trucker Hats Monday, March 22, 2004, at 1:17 PM PT Link: http://slate.msn.com/id/2097485/entry/2097496 From: Ariel Levy (part 2) Subject: The View From the Sidelines of the "Sexy Positions Contest" Tuesday, March 23, 2004, at 12:52 PM PT Link: http://slate.msn.com/id/2097485/entry/2097653 From: Ariel Levy (part 3) Subject: Spanking on the Beach Wednesday, March 24, 2004, at 12:38 PM PT Link: http://slate.msn.com/id/2097485/entry/2097739 I had thought about posting these here sometime, but just never got around to it -- and this thread is as good as any to discuss them. Do give them a read, they're very interesting, IMHO.

Didn't we break the board one time?? -- with a couple dozen embedded quotes within each other?? Come on, I'm sure somebody here remembers that, right?? (And the only people still reading this thread by now, are the people who have been around long enough to remember that. ) EDIT: I don't mean we broke the whole board -- but there was this one thread that was TOTALLY messed up. I'm not talking about the messed up threads on the old BNBB, where the posts were all in random order (there was one Ornette thread like that, if I remember). But I'm talking about an Organissimo thread where like part of the board (outside the thread), started to appear inside some of the innermost quotes. All I remember is that it was really, REALLY weird!!!

An update... Got a letter in the mail just now, saying that the position had been filled by another candidate. I was at least hoping to have gotten an interview.

Anybody else here like Birch Beer?? Or Sarsaparilla?? Or Ginger Beer?? (Ginger Beer is the strongest of the three.) Whole bunch of Root Beer ratings and other related info here: www.root-beer.info

"S". Definitely "S".

Could these perhaps be the old pre-JRVG "TOCJ" masterings??? I can't imagine how they could be, but who the hell knows?? Would love to see a complete list, if one ever becomes available. I might just try to track a few of these down, particularly for some sessions never released in the US, for which there are no alternate takes or bonus tracks. (Too good to be true, I know. I'm not getting my hopes up.) EDIT: 100 different BN TOCJ "1500 series" discs listed here: LINK. Of course, I can't read what they are. I suppose there's a list (in English) of TOCJ's 1501-1600 somewhere on-line, wouldn't ya think?? Any indication if these are the old pre-JRVG series?? I've never owned any JRVG's (hate the mini-LP format), and I'm really not up on what's what with Japanese BN's.

Did you check the expiration date??

Actually, I was thinking of Wynton Kelly having to follow Trane on all those various live recordings from that Miles tour of Europe in the spring of 1960. In particuluar, I was thinking of this one:

Oh man, ain't that the truth.

I thought that was us??

I've got, or at least used to have this (my discs are all over the house, and I can't remember having seen it for some time). Haven't heard it in years, but my memory of it is that it was a pretty good disc. Maybe a bit on the short side (30-minutes or so, not much more), but overall - more interesting than it could have been.

Is the line-up (or at least the instrumentation) known for that live concert with Miles and Gil from '68?? Also, I didn't think any tapes of it were known to exist.

Ditto me, plus Tyrone's "Trainwreck" sessions.

you bastard.

What if your Momma don't dance and your Daddy don't rock n roll? All I know is that Mama's got a squeeze box, and Daddy never sleeps at night.

At first I said there was a 2, then an 8. The correct answer is "nothing".

Oral Disco

I kinda half thought something was lurking in this one, the first time around...

I knew this was a Sangry thread the second I saw the title of it.

typical case of autoeroticism, if you ask me.

What about Miles?? My wife brought this up in conversation over dinner, just last night. How do we resolve our enjoyment of his music, with his deplorable behavior towards women??

I'm assuming this is high on our list of questions to have Wayne answer at some point?? Wouldn't the same instrumentation suggest that perhaps the piece was actually performed (or rehearsed, I should probably say) -- at the same sessions as for Falling Water?? What a puzzle, for sure!!!
