These aren't album covers, but promotional band photos. (Or maybe they're from album covers, hell if I know.) Anyway, I had to post 'em somethere, and this is as good a place as any...

Or maybe this... SOURCE Drunken moose alert in southern Norway Experts are not sure how it will affect moose behavior, but if you meet Norway's 'King of the Forest' in the southern part of the country, he could be intoxicated - and potentially dangerous. The 'King of the Forest' - too big not to respect. PHOTO: Gorm Kallestad According to a report from the Newspapers' News Bureau (ANB), the reason behind the warning is this year's early snowfall. A warm summer has led to an unusual bounty from the region's fruit trees. The sudden and early snowfall has left some fruit under snowy cover, while still more remains on the branch. This fruit is fermenting, and also a readily available and tempting source of food for the region's moose. "This is the first time I have heard that moose are getting drunk. But I assume that they react the same way people do to intoxication - some become harmless while others are the exact opposite," said district veterinarian Paul Stamberg in Kristiansand. Martin Kolberg, head of the local animal committee in Telemark, warns people to beware of drunken moose. "Be careful when you approach moose that have been munching apples for days. Their behavior can alter and they can become frighteningly aggressive. Clap and see how it reacts. If it doesn't retreat but instead comes even closer, by all means stay vigilant. It can be intoxicated and attack," Kolberg told newspaper Faedrelandsvennen. -
SOURCE Flying moose lands on car's roof A leisurely Sunday drive came to an abrupt halt for a couple in southern Norway over the weekend, when a fully grown moose suddenly landed on the roof of their car. "We didn't even have time to think when there came this enormous thud," said a shaken Leo Henriksen after the bizarre incident. He and his wife were cruising along the two-lane Highway 405 in their little red Mazda. The couple was a few kilometers south of Vatnestrom in Iveland township, Aust-Agder, when their involuntary encounter with the moose took place. The moose, a female weighing some 350 kilos (770 pounds), apparently had been running through the forest when she suddenly came upon a cliff leading down to the highway. Unable to stop, the moose seemed to literally fly off the cliff, landing first on the Henriksen's car before catapulting further into the oncoming lane. The moose-versus-motorist drama ended when Randi Olsen, driving in the oncoming lane with her young daughter, was unable to stop and hit the moose that was now lying in the road. The moose was dead when wildlife authorities arrived on the scene. Henriksen suffered minor hand injuries, while his wife and the Olsens emerged from the incident without a scratch. Both cars, however, were severely damaged. Henriksen told the Kristiansand newspaper Faedrelandsvennen that he and his wife lost their house in a fire in mid-January. Now they've lost their car as well, and were hoping for a sympathetic meeting with their insurance agent on Monday.

Jackie McLean at the Vangard in NYC
Rooster_Ties replied to Jazz Groove's topic in Live Shows & Festivals
Good to hear. He bailed at the last minute on a date here in Kansas City last year (March of 2002, if I remember right). Long live Jackie!! -
Definitely ask this. Could end up with a couple great stories that you might otherwise have never gotten.
-
Sounds good to me. (I'm hoping to do one sometime after the first of the year.)
-
I don't have any solid date (I'm only 34), but I understand it was a 'single' (on a 45-rpm record), and was relatively common on some jukeboxes, at least in certain places frequented by certain demographics. (Or so I know I've read somewhere, ages ago.) Was there a b-side?? What was it?? Another Lee Morgan tune?? Or something else popular, by another BN artist??

Recently a friend of mine (who is an audio nut) was showing me his SACD player (which I think he's had for at least a year, maybe longer). And we go to play some discs on it - and it turns out the damn thing can't fast-forward CD's. Not SACD's, nor standard "plain jane" CD's either. You can skip forward and backward to the beginnings of tracks, but not FF into a track, or the reverse of that - to relisten to a section of a track again. I can't remember what brand it was, but it was a widespread brand name (like Sony, or Techiques) or something similar. Somebody tell me that all SACD players aren't like that??? Maybe he was an "early adopter" of the technology, and the first generation players couldn't do that -- though for the life of me, I can't imagine why. Seems like the simplist thing ever, since CD players have been doing FF quite well for something like 20 years. On a side note - I played him a bootleg recording (a burn of something I got from somebody here on the board), of a jazz concert from the early 80's, clearly taken off the sound board. And this was a burn of something that (to the best of my knowledge) hasn't ever even been 'released' on a bootleg label, or grey-market release anywhere. Now this guy is a HUGE nut for getting everything he can in what he thinks is THE very best version of every release, be it SACD, or DSD(?), or Japanese imports, or whatever the latest flavor of the month is. So I'm playing him this burn of an underground recording from the early 80's (on his mega-system), and the guy's jaw nearly hits the floor - cuz the Sound Quality on my underground recording is amazing, totally amazing. You could release this puppy today, "as is", without any remastering. People who are more about the "sound quality" - and less about the music --- really bug me, clearly. (Sorry to be on a bit of a rant, but this seemed like as good a thread as any to mention this in.)

Chuck, tell some of these horrific stories. I know I would like to know. Me too. Change the names to protect the guilty, if you must, but do tell.

Elvin Live at the Lighthouse
Rooster_Ties replied to slide_advantage_redoux's topic in The Vinyl Frontier
I understand that there were a bunch of 'between-tune' stage announcements and/or banter that were trimmed from the Mosaic version too. Can anyone confirm?? I, for one, am very glad Mosaic did the editing that they did -- but it would be interesting to hear the stuff they edited out, just for the heck of it. -
A bit much for a used copy, perhaps, but here's one at half.com for $10 plus $2.50 in postage. Between Dusk And Dawn That was the only title you listed that was anywhere close to being a decent price at half.com. BUT, if anybody is looking for 2 cheap copies if "Tarab" (1993) for about $9 each (including postage), then CLICK HERE.

Didn't Mosaic have some imaginary Larry Young sets on CD available a few months back??? Maybe they were on to somethin'!!!!

indeed... IMAGINARY BOYFRIENDS fight for your love!

couldn't see the pic from the IMG you gave (at least not here in the thread)...

Computer will do 1000 trillion operations a second
Rooster_Ties replied to BERIGAN's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Yeah, but by the time whatever the most recent version of Windows is by then, that version of Windows will be such bloatware that we'll all need this fancy new "fastest computer in the world" just to run it!!!
