Man with the Golden Arm

Wonder where U. of Akron got the Zips? Goooooo Zips! Rubbers and if ya haven't smelled Akron in it's heyday ... phewww!

Thass nuthin'. Just wait till powerhouse University of Akron Zips take out the Buckeyes this Saturday!

I smell lawsuit!! In order to defend myself, I'm going to have to de-pose all the Victoria's Secret models. Good luck, isn't that what they do for a living?

It's Evan, John's brother and Lizards pianist. Interesting in his own right and listening to snips some of them tango tarentellas inspred BackYardigans tunes is the give away. His "Selling Water by the Side of the River" is a great album that lead to his soundtracks for a couple Begnini featured fims.

sometimes this just ain't enough!

heh. See edc Clem stickin' it to 'em in the comments forum of that daily - under an assumed name/personality of course - he's not just Brooklyn.

edit too late ... listening to that 12 minute track. looks like the mp3s is tease and the album / cd next week.

"Percussion Madness Revisited" emusic new release link of remixes. edit: not just a remix thing at all. a whole new look at some tunes and a healthy addition of more. (check that brief solo @ 3:20 of the long MAW-esque "Free My Soul" and tell if that's Ruiz ? a bit too recent , still beautiful!) nice little (inter)view here.

So sorry to hear about your Moose. A halo on the antlers.

Jim, Never heard of any on there other than Bembe Segue and Monday. I'll be checkin it out! So 'broken beats' is the genre du jour here? Have not known what to call it but electro house and smooth jazz ain't it and straight modern R&B, neo-soul etc is close but not really. I've been on a binge as of late while skimcoating my basement to podcasts from Gilles Peterson (Brownswood, Ubiquity, TruThoughts)as well as stuff I've loaded up from emusic and the like. (the music can at times cover my curses while alligator-bellying yet another swath of finish mud or maybe it's these broken beats that's causing my gypsum to go ala Pollock - the job ain't my gig and i know what i'll be doing in hell) Listening to only choice cuts from Quantic, Cinematic Orchestra, Nostalgia 77, Radio Citizen & Bonobo (found about the time you were humping Bajka), 4Hero, re:jazz etc ... all mixed in with some of the better Theivery Corp, Koop, Beasties and on. Along with some MAW, Vega, Quintiero, Tony Allen remixes for afrolatin hits. The thing of it is is that the redundancy that initally pulls you in can really undo the appreciation over the long haul. For me it's those cuts that rise above that that have made this my go to as of late. And the trickling from source to source opens up a whole new roster of players who jump from group to group and labels that have their own particular sound within the genre - ie: found Cinematic Orch doing "Theme de YoYo" as instru breaks and then feature Fontella Bass on another record entirely. The stand out female vocalista find for me is Alice Russell. Never heard of her before last week but blown away by the voice. Her cover of a White Stripes tune - "7 Nation Army" is killer! and that she can layout a ballad grittier than Dusty (Springfiled that is) is a big plus for another blond blue eyed brit who can keep up with the Sharon Jones thing and doesn't sound as trumped up as a Joss Stone. Could see her fronting a bonmbastic James Bond movie theme with the Daptone horns more than Amy (haveabitmore) Winehouse. I'm sure I'll be over my phase with this (and maybe what I'm listening to is not evne this at all and I'm off topic in a broken way) and that it won't sound too "ten minutes ago" anytime soon. Now on to some Favelactronica.

Kate's? great, great album! and that's some crazy leather car coat with that bigass knit collar. JOS & BJP loved them bigass collars.

Such attacks are becoming more and more prevelant these days. Maybe jazzmoose can have a word. But it's these we need to watch when they sneak thru our borders!

I've read bits of Bourdain's "Cook's Tour" and his fugu chapter is spot on. The guy is nuts! Read somewhere that described him as Hunter S. Thompson on paella. My mother was telling me about the Ali's episode. She said he ate the kibbee cooked and not raw! WTF! Caught one of the Zimmer guy's show where he actually can't eat some horrible smelling fruit. It about made him wretch.

Maybe they'll make him sit here for the rest of the year!

Lynch on NPR's 'Talk of the Nation' - today.

just for histry's sake ... what a couple years and some special K in the diet will do.

WineHouse alert: YIKES! http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertai...icle2862026.ece jeez ... I've been off and on with that Frank from above rec - her "Mr. Magic" is nice, a pretty great debut IMO - and listening to a couple things from her recent one (them Dap Horns do do it right per alexander's rec). From all the vids I've seen she does look ready for the Chelsea Hotel. Read she pulled out of upcoming Stones support gigs as well. Hopefully she can get some much needed help. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6945833.stm

surprised he didn't take the allivator?

Have not called in for tix in years... used to sleep out all night back in the day, but- Phoned the Maine TicketMaster # (figured them bumpkins are too busy snowmobiling on the lake or lining up for yet another allenlowe gig to be bothered) this morn for the Boston date and got an order in at 10:01. By the time I was giving the info the service rep told me it was sold out. I even got great seats!!! phewww, that anniversary gift is out of the way! A BIG THANK YEEWWW CHEW!

RIP Taylor

trickling from 7/4's youtube link. essential conversation w/ Badalamenti

But does the clarinet? Can anyone ID that instrument in the Hogarth print? A recorder? Oboe? I'm voting Nay, flute that is.

Well I've been doin' to the Dap for sometime now ... so THANKS JIM! now - A new album arrives in October followed by tour. in the meantime - only on 45 but: (to the right of the pic) and you can find the instrumental too. a tangential aside - Mark Ronson's 'Version' finally came out in the states last month. He uses the Daptone Horns exclusively, and to utmost funkability. And while a bit of the same trick kicks nearly every cut, but I never tire of it over and over, his production & sound is making this my favorite (edit out some of the neo brit like the hit single Smith's tune "Stop Me") go to for the summer. Highly recommended!! - esp Amy Winehouse on "Valerie" with that Jam meets the Vandellas while walking on sunshine.

just found and listened to "Drive Me Wild" and g_D it would've been nice if Common hadn't shown up.

Hello Kitty is lookin' for this guy!
