Man with the Golden Arm

just heard that Bo Schembechler died. guess Woody will have some company for the game.

this might very well be in the youtube thread but it's worthy of bandwidth alone. James Brown so what was this show?

i was just linking it as to the masada "book" so to speak, actually.

i take that back ... it's not ALL about the legs!

IT"S ALL ABOUT THE LEGS! what's not to like!? Plus nobody gets murdered!

Yeah getting old and not having it all figured out is a stinker. I've been talking about changing my major since I actually changed my major after nearly flunking out of organic chemistry classes in college. (where'd they get those tests anyhow?) I really thought I'd have it all ironed out by now but left a good job with all the trimmings over 17 years ago to become a freelancer (they'd have probably laid me off by now tho). Much like Moose I guess my day to day shoe stringing attention excess disorder does make me who I am despite the medication. The constant shifting of gears in my day to day doings workwise keeps me fresh and burnt out at the same time. While I have found a niche for myself I am still not really satisfied with it so the happiness of being all settled in my life still is in question. Letting that attitude creep into the other side of things like family is something that I need to keep in check. Getting of my ass and marketing myself properly is my next step but I'm a lazy sod so ... I'll stay behind my board with those nice speakers in front of me and draw! edit (and learn to spell)

me too mi # two

"Johnson Paint" at Mass Ave used to be one of the best. If your gonna say "hey" you better be prepared! Tony would have been impressed.

$13.99 @ DGA

...but with 'ears' instead!

good for you on the website! nice work ... will you have a bio up there or are you going with the gallery only? always like the carny font - suits the work well ( & i mean that in a good way ) !

you seem to like this... just to sample i loaded up "Oy Veys Mir" from emusic - choy boyh it's a shavingah! I already stomped on my coffee cup!

If it is the Pympton ( but i gather your's is the Polish artist not Plympton's) - the one where the guy tells stupid jokes to the Tango and she laughs uncontrollably then it was a Spike and Mike thing. I heard Bill speak at the Boston MFA eons ago and he showed the black and white sketch reels for his yet to be finshed Tango. The guy is certifiable!

is this the Bill Plympton one w/ Marc Ribot on board?

I've only visited a few times since it's revamping but I am much more liking it after looking into it a bit more. (Having used anything for a few years gets you comfy but it is nowhere near as bad as when AMG changed it's gig.) I like the way you can quickly see what is "new" on the sidebar genre section and narrow searches so quickly by media - a big plus. The design of the page when you click on an item is nice as well with the top featured search and then other stuff that crawls in within the same area of the store and it's not just a word program to look at with little icons to scroll thru. I even like the 'related searches' mini tab. I think the whole look is more of a "perusing" feel that you had at the old rekkid shop - always stumbling onto something else by way of audiophilia ADD. It's a "groovy little website."

i know i shouldn't be, but

getting closer?

chewy ... dang ... dupped!

ooh I like that first cut on the Sven! (edit: i see he helped out on the OST to 'The Life Aquatic'. ?) and the "cooking trunk" is not in the Lockjaw mode!

Life was very good yesterday morning when my daughters made strong coffee, in the oven style german pancakes and omeletes with proscuitto, sun dried tomatoes, spinach and goat cheese for my wife and I. All were excellent!! The eldest even put on "The Wild, The Innocent and The E-Steet Shuffle" (which she sort of can't stand) for accompanyment. oh ... and then she dissected a frog!

I agree w/ the wheat / chaff remark as the sharity downloads left more for the wind than the hard drive. I think the only way to get at it is to check the Movie Grooves site and see what you can find around the web - I took that Trunk Library quote from them but no I don't have that book which looks like a tasty design piece as well. Dusty probably had all this at one time but more of it is harder to come by. For more narrowed info HipWax has a page concerning Library. For a good list of comp reviews see this page at ScoreBaby! Wish those music 'For DanceFloors' discs were easily gettable. That 'Setting the Scene' is a great place to start but not really available as I can tell. I also dig heavily the work from the group "i Marc 4" - basically the house band for all the crazy Italo soft core tracks. Antonello Vannucchi is a freekin organ / vibes g0d! They all reunite on a new disc from Daniele Luppi titled "Italian Story" - only have sampled a few from it and probably some chaff in that one just for authenticity.

Wow .. I was thinking about starting up such a topic! Due to various "sharity" sites (ooops do I dare make mention of such a thing w/o closing down the thread?) I sampled a heck of a lot of this genre over the past year and it has at times become obsessive. I've found that much is completely unavailable so the file sharers have been my only hope. Truly would like to know more about it than just what I hear and like, please. Here's a description from that great movie grooves site: So basically to make some bucks these fantastic studio players from Europe and the UK just churned out scores of stuff to be used any way the end licensee wanted. Most of it mirrors the sounds in the groovier boogaloo based French & Italian soundtracks - none of that Morricone but more the Piccioni and Umiliani flavors - and those have become a side obsession as well. I imagine any trip into brick and mortar Dusty would have these goods as accompanying soundtrack. Looking thru some of my playlists I'll just call out a few of the more interesting artists I have found: Johnny Hawksworth (wasn't he on BFT 7 ) Alan Hawkshaw Jack Trombey Malcolm Lockyer Ambros Seelos Jack Arel Basil Kirchin Yanko Nilovic Keith Papworth Paolo Renosto Jack Dieval Keith Mansfield Francis Coppieters - and this guy was nuts! and there were even "names" like Georges Arvanitas doing work for the Library genre.

it all comes down to this: my daughter was "like freeeeking out" yesterday that she forgot to put on her lucky Pats earings! she was beating herself up about it all morning.
