Man with the Golden Arm

hi jim.... CéU .... heard a couple cuts - "Lenda" and a version of "O Ronco da Cuica" on emusic ... nice

"orange was the color of her dress ..."

Now there's dedication to the cause for ya.. Ha! It's also the guy on the right's birthday too!

Get back at it soon, Paul. Best of luck to you. Tried googling up a big urethra but ...

wow... sad news. just finished listening to the cut "what's her name?" that marked the end of one of my playlists.

just up here in the cheap seats, but does a triple negative put a runner in scoring position?

dang. sad indeed. sounds like he was swimming just above the ray ... a bit like this maybe?

my god! the guy is a freekin giant!!!

WTF! September 23rd IS Coltrane's Birthday ... my daughter's is the 22nd and I remember hoping she'd hold out one more day ... SHEESH! have you been drinking?

I tried it and I never drink soft drinks. It was cherry vanilla. Was able to burp the solo to "Koko" afterward, which was a big plus.

After they started asking personal questions, I "hung up" - I'm wondering if it's just those Brazilian discs that he's put out - hell, I can play that stuff for you and you won't even have to tell me how old you are! That Brahma site did not work for me - I'm listening now thru iTunes and they asked for nuthin. the first cast is Baile Funk ... not stuff from the 'in Brazil' disks but more of a travelogue, not so much musica but more of a schooling. Nice.

Just spotted a few hours of podcasts from Gilles "in Brazil" on iTunes. just begun to listen ... essential and a must for JimR! >Podcast Site< (In association with Brahma beer ... some of the worst bullpiss you would ever want to drink - ack ptooey! )

not that I saw it but Seu Jorge was in that Bill Murray film "Life Aquatic" where he plays Bowie tunes. never heard them either.

that 54 yarder by Gostkowski was sweet ... pooor Adam! anyone see Pats' LB Barry Gardner's leg injury while blocking on a kick return last night? ooh man it was Theisman ugly. not sure whether he broke the thing or trashed the knee??

no. left with some wacky triangular concord fantasy etc 3 disc + cdrom sampler for cheap instead. was just looking thru the maze of discs and that title on the spine caught my eye. thought it was some ellingtonian boot hank but looks like a rock group in a well. guess i should have at least sampled the title cut.

spotted at my local used rekkid shop last nite - amazing how something jumps out of the racks.

Dan... I'm in the States and the buyer is in southern EU. Providing tracking was to be nearly $30 for this rather than air letter post and was offered as an expensive alternative. Other international shipments were made on the same day and a pack to northern EU just arrived last week ... nearly two months! for Air? Hopefully I've got the buyer to sit tight and since I have several hundred transactions in the past seven years I'm looking like I know what I'm doing. OTOH you never know when you're being taken for a ride.

Friend of mine and I shared a bottle of this last Sunday. Very nice, smooth and not so chewy with hints of playful discordant fruitfulness especially with aural accompanyment for placebo effect. Goot und schtronk too boot!

that dog ... obviously a "Buckeye" fan ... has seen his share of them Ohio State Highway Patrol "Signal 30" movies and is scared shitless!

in the midst of a harangue with an international buyer who bought two very nice discs and paid market value for them. the items were shipped nearly a couple months back and sent via air mail, packed perfectly etc. no priority docs were filed other than my customs mini form. buyer is pissed and so i am .... BUT ... with all international transactions that i even do i know i take the chance that this big ass world might just gobble something up. i've never, ever lost a package i have sent and have also waited extremely long for items from holland and italy etc... not certain of what recourse the international buyer has via paypal. my feedback is of no importance to me. so... what are your experiences, has ever happened to you?

NOWRITINGONYOURJACKET!! and NOWiREHANGERS!
