Man with the Golden Arm

thanks for the tip! those streams sound good. I've lost track of my listening re: Coleman but used to look forward to his releases as well but that was back in the novus / jmt days. I need to get up to speed.

is this serious!? alas poor aric we knew him well. simply, have you not cranked the hell out of "Walk on the Wild Side" ?, yes, true it was just a jukebox single that was completely off the mark from the BNs before blah de blah - but Ed Freekin Shaughnessy slowly setting up Jimmy and skittering alongside the tension for one of the greatest organ solos everrr! Make that greatest covers everrr! hitch up the horses!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igXzNaCQwUE

always wondered what happened when your count is frozen

... and then 'Livin' It Up!' and 'MONSTER' (dammit!)

"Mickey Mouse" bonus wazzat!?

It's Miami Living ... circumsized and not yet rabid - just ask Chris.

give a listen to Joyce's press conference.

Bought that little Sony D5 in '84 and friends would buy discs and I'd haul it to houses to listen. My first CD was Joe Williams' "Nothin' but the Blues" on denon cuz it was a DDD, bought from a little shop in the Cleveland Arcade that was mostly Japanese imports. I remember watching it roll off into the dining room as I had never opened a CD case before.

damn saxamophone players!

poor guy just had a Kohld.

up!(a neguinho) has anyone heard the newest? has Seu Jorge, Carlinhos Brown and the wife etc...

new scent?

this one makes me hungrier.

oh to be that traveling salesman who has to sleep in the barn.

I did exactly the same for some when the first RVG series landed - knew they were coming out and traded in discs to make them affordable ... thought 'Moanin'' was juat freeking fantastic - fooled in the initial hearing and thought the bombastics of the new re-masters sounding good for some reason. Same for 'Cool Struttin'' with the first issue having the great Japanese kissa liner notes and none of the hiss of the RVG. Happy I have the 'SFMF' before the tape stretch remasters.

oh now now ... just this week Dice K was anointed the billion dollar pitcher and savior of the season only to toss 1-K tonite. if the Celts lose tomorrow they might as well set the Charles afire and change the name to Cleveland! (and I been there thru the red right 88, the drive, the Modell moving and storage and the latest bunch of old ladies that had a knitting party with Lebron serving tea cakes a couple weeks ago.) ... and that first elbow was a slip from helping up Pierce ... Gortat should get a tech for being a pussy. Baby out w/ a concussion, Wallace w/ back and the fact that Rondo was on the cover of SI this week is more than enough worry!! throwing this old Boston Cleveland guy at the top of the key might help

some serious ball going on now tho ... interesting to see if the NBA does the right thing and straightens out last nite's bullshit refereeing!

SIMS music vid. is this the new wave? and Dwight Howard is much taller in reality.

I'll bet they elope.

Had been listening to some Bennie Green BN and pulled out the Bennie Green ST on Time. Struck by how different the swank of "It's Time" to the hipper variation "Voodoo" a year later and how great to hear the piece pull together. Curious about what the studio situation was with the Time recording as it almost appears to sound like something that was pre 'Cool Struttin' in it's kind of Prestigey sounding set. That lead me to listen to "A Fickle Sonance" from the same period, and wow, with the so-far-ahead title track esp you get that bitter tone and near out arrangement with Sonny holding the thing down with his swing while McLean turns in signs of the future. And then Clark records the same crew swan song w/ Rouse that year for 'Leapin''. The guy never ceases to amaze! I wonder if he might have been the bench choice for more outward recordings had he lived.

Does Chi Chi count? I was looking for a "Fickle Sonance" album thread??

good .. glad to hear from the die-hards ... I always felt like I "needed" to keep watching esp when other friends were devouring past seasons on DVD after I had tossed in the towel - it was one of those weekly regimens that just got too convoluted. then again I never got "Out to Lunch" either.

so do all of you who stuck it out feel like suckers? I gave up a couple years ago when it got way too obtuse and too demanding (for someone who thought Twin Peaks was the most genius thing going at the time & even now).

It's the Lumix FZ35. I bought this for my wife because she didn't like the heavy weight and complexity of my Pentax SLR. She also didn't deserve having my old Sony Cybershot that came before the Pentax, so I spent a few weeks researching and went with the Lumix. It's even lighter than the old Cybershot from 2001 and, of course, the big Pentax, which is a plus for carrying around, but I'm blown away by the ease and quality of pictures taken in "Intelligent Auto" mode. If your wife isn't into constantly fiddling with it, then this is crucial. One of the most complete reviews can be found here. You can click on the "Features" link, go to almost the bottom of the page and see a more "real-life" video taken with this camera. I'm really considering this for myself (or maybe an upgraded version?) for when I go back to Linz again in a few months. The pictures of the multi-colored building that I posted above? Those were taken with the Pentax. That building is a constant light-show that I hope to be capturing with my new Lumix! Thanks for that ... I was in between the Canon SX20 IS and the Nikon P100 but conjuring Ashton Koootcher every time I zoom has me thinking otherwise. I'm going looking tomorrow so the Lumix w/ the Leica is now a candidate. And it's right in the mix of the two spec wise.
