Rooster_Ties

ROTFLMAO!!!

Yeah, but which one is which??

FYI, I think Chuck was probably replying to CJ Shearn's message, the one right above yours Weizie - and not your "Dance With Death" message.

What's the deal?? Did the JRVG of "Easterly Winds" suck wind?? I've been looking for a good used TOCJ (jewelbox version, circa 1994?) copy of "Easterly Winds", for like forever (cuz I hate the mini-LP packaging), so there's probably NOT a lot of danger of me guying the JRVG of this title (or any other). Still, I'm kind of curious as to what you’re eluding to??

Let me echo everything Parkertown just said... Welcome!!!! And I'm afraid my tastes are areas of jazz expertise (if any such exist) are all for post-1950 material (really, post-1960 material, actually). But there are quite a few folks here who I'm sure can give you some good input. Check back later tonight and tomorrow... ...and again - welcome to the board!!

Amen and Halleluja!!! ...at least from this atheist-leaning agnostic.

HELL YEAH!!! -- on both counts. Wow, I had no idea Rooster was a musician. Just checked the AMG bio. I'll have to check out yer stuff, RT. Uuuhhhh, yeah (I wish!!!), but NO - Pelt ain't me, and I ain't Pelt. I think Impossible was just trying to call me into the conversation, since he knows I'm a fan of Pelt's. Here's some pics of Pelt... And here's one of me and Andrew Hill...

That would be so sad...

And how does that get fixed??? Anything we can do to help?? - like bombard them with e-mail about it?? I presume you guys have sent them a CD already - correct??

HELL YEAH!!! -- on both counts.

WORD!!!!

All the album titles are in italics in the original article, but I'm much too lazy to replicate that here. You can read the original HERE. By the way, for the record - I don't have a problem with Norah being on Blue Note, or Al Green and Van Morrison either. I don't own Norah's CD (or Al's or Van's), but I borrowed the Norah disc from a friend several months ago, and I rather liked it, actually. Nothing I normally get all that excited about, but for what it was - I thought it was quite nice. (And I don't mean that in a bad way, like I usually do when I say something is "quite nice" ) You generally won't find me bashing Norah, just fans of hers like Musicboy!!!

This may not be much of a better source, but here goes anyway... As a wee lad during my College years, I happened to be in Washington D.C. around the same time that I was beginning a college honors project, that was to be about Sun Ra. The project never got off the ground (never really knew what I wanted to do with the project, and never did figure it out), but I do remember going to the Library of Congress while I was there, and to see what Ra recordings and other holdings they had. Frankly, this was about 10 years ago (circa 1992, if I remember right), and the only Ra titles I remember having them pull out for me were one of the Ra documentaries (probably "A Joyful Noise", but it might have been the other one, "Mystery, Mr. Ra"). They had the Ra doc on film (16mm??), and I remember watching it at a viewing station only big enough for one or maybe two people to watch the image, which was maybe 4 or 5 inches in size. And the other Ra item I had them pull out was an LP with Ra's meeting with John Cage at Coney Island (from the very early 80's, if I remember right). Turned out to be all Cage on one side, singing random vowels (sheesh!!) -- and Ra on the other side, playing a small cheezy keyboard – and not really doing much of any value, as I recall, just a bunch of noodling, mostly. Anyway, I don't specifically remember what the Library of Congress had, or what they didn't have - when it came to their Sun Ra holdings --- other than I suspect that they must have not had very much, or otherwise I would have had them pull out more stuff for me to listen to, other than just those two items. Like I said, this isn't much of a better source - from a kid (me!) who barely knew anything about jazz at the time, and whose memory is foggy as hell, now, 10+ years later. But logically, if they had had more stuff, I would have stuck around for more than just the two hours I was there.

I saw this in the Kansas City Star early last week, and thought I'd post it here. The Star's version is gone (their on-line stuff only sticks around for 7 days), but I also found it HERE. Man, 'Hey Ya!' has to be one of the best "turn it up!!!" songs that I've heard on the radio, in a long time!! Is the rest of the full CD (a double CD, actually, if I'm hearing right), is the rest even half this good??? I know it's on everybody's top-10 list this year. Should I give in to the hype, and get it?? Can't say I buy much hip-hop, but I do have a smattering of Beastie Boys CD's, and one or two Public Enemy discs too. Here's that article...

Seeing the "needle goes from the inside to the outside" record reminded me of the Monty Python LP with one side that had TWO separate grooves, so that depending on the luck of where you dropped the needle, the program was either one thing, or another thing -- two entirely separate 13-minute recordings -- on the SAME side of the record!!! Now that was one fucked up idea!!! My uncle used to have that album, and I remember trying to tape it once - and not being able to figure out why "side 2" was so much shorter than side one. And I can't remember if I figured out the separate groove thing or not, at the time.

So with that in mind, Norah Jones Fan has the same IP address as Jazz Groove who also has the same address as BLP 1577 who, as our older users may remember, also used the same IP address to create an account called Chicken Shack and proceeded to post a stupid announcement about Mosaic, just to stir the shit, back in July which can be seen here. Now he's doing it again, creating an account called Norah Jones Fan to come in here and stir up shit. Maybe you think it's funny, Jazz Groove, but I find it annoying and stupid. But rather than ban you, I figured I'd just let everyone know so they can make fun of you endlessly since you're acting like an idiot. Have fun! Fire away, folks. What a moron. That "more Larry Young boxes found" thread still bugs me. Mosaic got – what? – probably a dozen or probably more phone calls and e-mails from people suddenly rabid for these mythical OOP sets that supposedly magically appeared out of thin air. What a jerk. -_-

Anybody want to e-mail Mosaic and see what the story is?? At least the Blue Note and Pacific Jazz sets aren't likely to ever "disappear" without warning. Sure, the BN's probably do time-out (I know the Larry Young did), much like many of them do. But this "poof, and it's gone" thing, surely can't happen to any BN Mosaic titles, can it?? Again, I'd be curious what Mosaic has to say about this.

Would have been better for cats too!!

I think the turntable is probably just 33.33333.... - but the cat drags down the speed of the motor!!

Back in the late 80's and early 90's (when I was in college), I think the college radio station I worked at had one old turntable that could play 16rpm. Or maybe it was the AM/FM "Moldy Oldies"/"Top 40" pair of sister stations I worked at part-time, in the same little town where I went to college. Anyway, I know I've seen one at some point, and lord knows the equipment at all three of those stations had some relics that were still in use, even as late as about 1990. Not 'heavy' use, but they were all wired up, plugged in, and they still worked.

I do have both a McMaster, and a TOCJ -- but the extra one (still deciding which one to keep) is already promised to somebody else on the board. (Sorry.) Got 'em both on eBay in the last 3 months, for about $16 each (including postage). I got the TOCJ with a good "buy-it-now" price, as I would have expected it to go for more like $20 or $22 - if it had been bid on.
