I knew it was Yusef, which meant it must be Zawinul. Towards the end he looks straight at the camera and it's plain as day that it's JZ. But before, it was a little hard to tell.

Is that Joe Zawinul?! http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc...all/video/70685

I finally got this one (plus "Keep That Groove Going") and it's a fun date. I have listen to KTGG yet... I'm enjoying The Turbantor's organ work on this one too much right now! Man, does he sound like J.O.S. a few times on here, right down to that semi-sloppy but full of feel phrasing. Fun stuff!

The entire Mavericks team went to the line 25 times in that game. Wade went to the line 25 times just by himself. What else can you say?

Congrats, Paul! That's great news!

I was referring to your signature, yes. But it's better than Bright Moments.

I say if the Mavs lose it, I change Big Al's name to "Big Aldo Nova" for a week, just to make him pay for that damn picture in his avatar.

There's an easy solution to this.

Man, I think I could play the national anthem on saxophone better than Clarence Clemmons. Quote my wife: "He's the reason I never liked saxophone."

"Safetycrats"? Sorry, he lost me there. Frankly, if you don't want to wear a helmet when riding your motorcycle on the roadways among 6000+ lbs SUVs and stupid teenage drivers, distracted "soccer mommies" and the like, then go for it, dumbass. I've seen as many motorcyclists drive like assholes as regular automobile drivers, so it cuts both ways. This guy likes to make himself and his fellow riders out as victims, but motorcycle drivers can be just as stupid as us regular car-driving folk.

If they were in Europe (wasn't this recorded in London?) then it's quite possible that Goldings was playing a new digital B3. Original tonewheel Hammonds are very hard to come by across the Atlantic and the ones that are there are notoriously bad (which is one reason Goldings started using and endorsing Korg). The -new digital "B3"s are very good at emulating the original B3 and much easier to maintain and move around, so it wouldn't surprise me if that is what he was playing. And several models have pitchbend wheels on them which can be set to either do standard pitch bend (like on a synth) or emulate turning the Hammond motor off briefly (thus the tonewheels slow down and the pitch goes down) or emulate flipping the START switch up, which engages the start motor and causes the pitch of the organ to rise. My new Hammond XK-3 can do this and it's pretty fun. Groove Holmes used to play with the START and RUN switches on his B3 to change the pitch, so that's been around a long time. I haven't heard the cut you're speaking of with Goldings, so I don't know if that's what he was doing or whether it was a straight-up pitchbend wheel effect. I did hear a cut off this tonight on Lazaro's show (Seven Steps to Heaven) and those who have reservations about Scofield's tone need to hang-up their hang-ups. He is absolutely BURNING on this stuff and his phrasing is awe-inspiring. He has taken his playing to a new level recently. And his tone is remarkably straight-ahead (for him). You're missing out bigtime if you don't listen to this stuff because of Sco's tone.

Right, which means it's a flagrant foul (two-shots and the ball), which they called. No suspension necessary. Stack didn't stick his chest out and brag, he didn't argue the call, he didn't do anything but keep Shaq from getting a runaway slam dunk. That's a playoff foul.

I don't consider myself a tailgater. Tailgating, to me, means that you're so close the other person can't even see you in their side mirrors. I try to keep at least a one-car distance between me and the person in front, but in high traffic situations, that is not always possible. I do drive 75-80mph on the highway usually but I usually only approach 80+ when there's no one around. Again, I've never been in a car accident, not even a fender bender.

Hmm.... your driving scares me sometimes. I drive defensively, I'll admit it. But have I ever been in a car accident? Nope. I am always watching the other people on the road and consider myself a safe driver.

Not me. I think drivers in Chicago are far worse than drivers in NYC. ...been on the interstates around Boston??? Yep. Chicago is worse.

Not really my "neighborhood", but Okemos is a suburb of Lansing and I lived there while finishing my last two years of high school. And my mother (who passed away in 1997) worked for this man when she was just out of high school, right before she married my dad. http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2006606140331 Really messed up story.

Your neighborhood attracts door-to-door window salesmen?? They are like flies around here. I get two per week, at least.

My first car was a '78 Buick Skylark 4-door that I bought while in college. It only had 33,000 miles on it, and looked great and I bought it from my family's then-landlord. But I later found out the under carraige was rusted out like mad. It actually ran pretty good, but you couldn't really get it up past 70mph on the highway. It would start rattling and shaking like it was about to pull a "Blues-mobile" at the end of the original Blues Brothers. Eventually the bottom rusted out so bad that when I got in the car I had to be careful not to put any weight on the floor because my feet would be touching the ground. I sold it for nothing and bought a '98 Dodge Intrepid. When I sold the Intrepid to get my minivan back in 2002, it had 176,000 miles on it and still ran like a champ. That was a great car. My minivan currently has 144,000 on it, which means I've put 102,000 on it since I've owned it. The transmission went out on the way to Ann Arbor, in the dead of winter, on the highway, just outside of town, as I was passing a semi. That was at 61,000 miles. Luckily I had bought the extended 20,000 mile warranty (and I was just under the 20,000 miles!). Other than that, I've been happy with the van. I'm hoping to get another 75,000 miles out of it.

I had another windows salesperson stop by. Why they bother coming to a house with 100 year-old, 5-foot tall (and a couple that are 5 feet wide!) windows is beyond me. Do you really think I'm going to replace these hand-made, gigantic oak windows with some ugly plastic junk? Besides that, nothing going on in the neighborhood.

You can't say that because the article does not state whether or not the employees chased him off property. It just says the defendant claims they kept beating him once he was out of the store. If he was still on Autozone property, ie in the parking lot, they would be well justified.

The danger was past to whom? Obviously this guy is a thug and might've tried to rob someone else.

It's akin to me saying "Hey, I don't need to wear a seatbelt, I'm a safe driver and I'm careful." I am a safe driver and I am careful, but it's the other idiots on the road I'm worried about, not me. It's terrible that he got hurt, but not wearing a helmet is just plain dumb.

I am. The first one I got was for $20. The second was for about $30. I just got another in the mail but have not opened it. Last month, members bought almost $1000 worth of CDs through this site. We get about 6% of that, so that's around $60. So far this month we're already at $500 worth of sales. SO KEEP BUYING!

COOL!
