Man with the Golden Arm

16th seed no more wishes you a Happy Birthday while donning the signature "RDK" frock!!

my first one ... had it on vinyl and the sound was so stunning that i figured the CD was a ringer. had just seen Joe in Chicago at Rick's Cafe so I was on the hunt. i do remember having a time trying to figure out how to open a jewel case!

Yikes ... this board has sunk to new low(e)s, all of ya! ...that poor little kid doesn't even look old enough to shiva.

pm sent on "blues for smoke"

and "Sucker" going a bit Sonic Kim on us!

ditto to much above ... i've been staying away from ebay lately as it has just become one big mall. has anyone else donned a second identity on ebay so as to only sell from one moniker on buy via another? seems that as i now have over 600 positives for both selling and buying, taking my goodstanding ID and using it exclusively for sales might be wise. then i can have at the sellers i don't like at will. and aside with agreements to weizen... i sure wish my kids would be more Japanese with the handling of their CDs ... we even eat sushi fer god's sake! and anyone jetisoning classic lyricism like "put me in coach ... i'm ready to play today" must be on meth.

or at least share some of them "upskirt" shots...

So that's why the military was circling the fort yesterday. Apparently Mitt was up in that BlackHawk getting full scope up here on the North Shore. and it's raining again! flooding

they weren't quite as lucky flirting with da bears. dutch bears

Vhat's ein "yadda"???? A UN General Assembly meeting? looks like those few lines are next.

and not only that ... how they gonna keep out all the mimes?

What the man from Longerhans sez!!! I'm not one to get all hot and bothered about the whole fight between platforms here. The guys at my shop bad mouth my mac like it's some chic thing to do? wtf and who cares. I go up and do a bit of work on their PCs and the things are like working on a "computer". Desktop littered with nothing but crap that does get in your way and too many obsessive compulsive touch yer nose, spin around and lick the screen fourteen times before anything can be done. And if we're talking some "Dinosaurs" disc like the Henson or the Disney chances are the friggin' stuff that the son is drooling all over was made on a freekin' mac in the first place. sheesh. Now i'm not one to shout about new OSs either but I am on a relatively new purchase and the "Spotlight" feature on Tiger is just so nice. Noj... you probably have lots of images as I do and being able to type "jpg" or "psd" into a box and having everything in the machine right in front of you within seconds is really something else!! Any chimp can come in and know what is what on this machine. As rostasi said, I think those PC users are all just afraid of the simplicity.

In the last two days, we've gotten 14 INCHES of rain here! 14 INCHES!! And yes, my basement leaks. Woke up this morning to >3 inches of water. It almost got my oil burner. It's so bad, my wife and I are considering moving... to another house in town with a dry basement. I gather this one's not on the short list. some shots from around the area look pretty devastating... and Rolf ... stock up on some soft shells cause the shellfish beds are all closing down. the Merrimack River up in flooded Haverhill is getting 35 million gallons of sewage a day! at least Peabody's BungHole Liquors is still in business!

Cary, I don't know much of the guy other than I love his sound. That pic is truly a kick!! Vannucchi is mostly an organist but this shot is from his days with a group called "I Marc 4". Evidently legendary in 60s Italy. I have been pursuing info about him off and on with a recent obsession of swanky sixties Italian cinema music. His organ work can be heard on many a soundtrack from the likes of Piccioni and Umiliani and his is truly the signature sound that you hear on much in that genre. A recent hommage disc from Daniele Luppi (don't know of him either aside from being a modernist and found him via Vannucchi) brings together the group of I Marc 4 with Antonello.

Antonello Vannucchi!

if anyone knows anything about mine please let me know. i think it's some "nutty mads" / "weirdo" model kit that herr bovine flashed for me.

it's freekin' rainin' and not gonna stop here in new england! folks in our little town are going to the high school which has been deemed an emergency shelter. people taking their sea kayaks to the streets. and the dog looks at ya like "wtf i'll hold my pee till august"

easy way: ... but not the really the right way. if it is iTunes I would rip it from the source twice ... (maybe title it differently) then ... "command i" for track "info" choose "options" and play with the start and stop times in that window. if the silence is at the end your set with just one tweak ( i use this to shave down tracks when time is an issue on packing a disc or to get rid of a pop at the start of a vinyl ripped dub)) but if it is the middle somewhere then you need to do the voodoo on the two separate tracks and link them together when you burn. (caveat - ludite layman giving advice)

hey! you found a better one! madakoowahsoweechy! yes, but I can't save it! but - i do have that chat-o-tine!!

thanks for that! I had that bookmarked a couple years back and lost the link. For more Rube Goldberg magnificence ala Japan: madakoowahsoweechy! Still love them Ford Sportka Ads ...

Just go an grab this one on 1201 Music ?? I had the mini lps and luckily offed them on eBay for many pennies because this cheaper version sounded better to me.

never seen any and not gonna start ... but ... ho ho ho

I remember trying my best to find that "Human Voice in the World of Islam" source after MLitBoG came out. Especially Dunya Yasin? It would have been a real coup if Byrne and Eno had done it really right and released a two disc set that encompassed sourcing for the album. A bit like Gabriel putting out the second 'Passion' recordings. That trickle down of musical inspirations makes the world go round.
