Man with the Golden Arm

Oohhh Man, how was the sound check!?

"yo, Got da' Mott's"

lookin' a bit like jamie foxx in drag in that last pic.

some of my distant cousins down in West Virginia thought so...

picked this up, still sealed, at a bar/art space for $4 . essential even for an additional $8. so, is that new 'Gigilo' really so much better as an RVG?

Before Big John died...I played him the Money Jungle cut off of this CD. His reaction was exactly what mine was... WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO MY MUSIC. Turns out Patton, Ron Carter and Waits cut the track and left. Afterwards they put the fuckin' rap on it and ruined it. Patton was pissed beyond words. I'll stand by my vehemence. and even put them into a litre of Coke for fun. Tried again to gain some of what JS took here and do see that point as this being contemporary, thoughtful to the tune and all and that if a handful of kids, who probably have no way to even hear this record, go out and pick up 'Gotta Good Thing Goin'', 'Blue Planet Man' or some such then the message has been heard and all is good. But the song is still unlistenable keerap to this now sounding like an old fart who is still not quite that old as to have them babies sneak out without forethought ... (my posts are another story)

"Money Jungle" ... with BJ Patton, Carter and Waits ...AND Black Star = mos def and taleb kweli? I've even heard of these guys but thankfully till now I had never actually listened to them. Couldn't be a bigger WTF! these kids can't even harmonize let alone rap. Mingus would have slapped both upside their off-key lips! quite the spoiler but the rest is very worthy of a nice deduction.

a broadcast a sale and a kudo all in five minutes ... you guys must have wings on your fingers.

chewy ... as I sit here listening to NoRoomForSquares, can you please tell me if Hank based the intro and outro riff on "Old World, New Imports" on the theme from The Flintstones? or was it the other way 'round?

oohhh yeeeyas. a nice Viennese brew. plus you don't ever have to worry about them tipping over. ...but pass on that regular Modello in the clear bottles ... pee yeww! I too get an orange slice query whenever I order up a Heify or other wheat these days? silly, but free vitamin C

a brief history of organissim-OCD: I text edit all the booklets along with 192k rips of the CDs then burned them all onto my iPod and then sold them (so I could afford glasses to read while jogging) ... the boxes I keep in the backseat in case my kids want a nice hefty lap easel to color on.

unless of course you're Monk in a wagon and then you get to go every which way.

& time to start sending R some photoshop freelance jobs! and I heard these guys were allowed to come for dinner?

that's nuthin'! http://service.spiegel.de/cache/internatio...,425422,00.html luckily no "cow" on the menu!

man i googled "witness' but spelt it with an "e" ... yipes ... if that's the case your gettin' some.

MOMS THE WORD! .... OH WAIT ... THAT"S MABLEY but just think, "All The Things You Could Be By Now If ..."

hence the

he's always welcome to come and play real football.

tis a bit old doncha think... this kid's probably playing for the cup this weekend.

Just spotted this comp on the Red Hot... site: Any one heard this set? ... if only for "Money Jungle" as taken by John Patton!

gives new meaning to "high and inside".

Dave Cooper's work seems highly influenced by the birthday girl.

yes, part of my recent interest is courtesy of the "pawnbroker". just missed that other one ... $130 is a tuff nut.

Been on a bit of a Jazztet binge lately and am not ready to swing for that big old Mosaic and curious if anyone who has splurged might be forgeting about that nice little mini lp Argo import from a couple years back that's just collecting obi mites and would be willing to offer it up for an obsessed at the moment typer of run on sentences. Thanks!
