Man with the Golden Arm

shouldn't we be boycotting Coke AND Walmart?!

damn! and i spent a few minutes googling for klinger in a moo-moo to illustrate that "general unpleasantness" / "general in a peasant dress" thing.

my pet peeve is "where's your mother's tongue at". drives me nuts cause my mother would spritely crack her own with a quick "behind the at".

for me, more to eat squid ink pasta by -

don't look like "just" to me .... start mixin the banana daiquiris!

salute!

first album i ever bought ... @ Giant Tiger $2.99 (new)!

nothing from this either!?

I only saw this once in the theater but I thought the cheeks ( I agree - silly) were an hommage to the radiator in Eraserhead.?

you know when that guy tried to get cute and all and follow some nice accordion with some more accordion and then some silly film music and then some more B3 accordion. i vote for the fifty minute blindfold test from now on! just stop that #7 after #14 is all. can't wait for the revised second edition. or maybe he'll send out a second disc or at least the outer ring of one that you can glue down onto the other.

shit, you didn't herniate youseff?

ICE IT FIRST.... don't screw around with the ice/hot/cold treatments yet. Ice that baby NOW!!! you can do no harm with that ... you can with heat!!! call the chiro but make sure he/she ain't a quack ... they are great when they are great and when they're not they suck!

Well know I know it's Sweezerland! The King and his men have put all the pieces together again! Dear John, no need to berate me with them nice blue corrections as they will all be just that. (Guess I could have claimed a few DNDC, WTF, AYOOYFM? but then I would not be able to tell you haow cool the disc was.) You guys are good (dang, hafta start reading that funnyrat thing already) and once again I'm showing my spare bit of knowledge above.

Really out of my league here. I'll be periusing this thread for a while. Just some thoughts. JohnB. T-1 - WOW!... what a start up here - had the volume up on the deck too! Great entry. "Attention everybody this is some crazy sh*t here". Would those be "bru-baroque" touches before the birds start singing and the thing goes in w/ the electric bass. A suite of sorts ... separated by those little old world flourishes ... could be dutch but not funny enough. The final piano solo is quite beautiful in itself. Now some south of the border - nearly Bernstein - dances, don't know what border is north but this is quite the opening tour de farce. Very startling beginning here!!!! Nice. T-2 - Pretty enough tune - has a bit of Mengelbergian hunting here and there. My guess, and I know i shouldn't, is that this is that Dave Douglas piece from a couple years ago. T-3 - More circular blowing to just shear exhaustion on this one. the guy from the upper studio came in during this and was truly amazed. While I do love the feats of this technical ability I find myself never going back for much more. While I don't know my Evan Parker I can't venture a clue at all. T-4 - Climbing the scales of "Everything Happens to Me"? More circularity and the africanesques within the percussion remind me a bit of Bobby Previte. Nicely done duet here. No slouch at all. Could it be Jane Ira Bloom, who I think we have heard before within the tests? T-5 - More high technique of lung prowess in this tango / tarentella. Sure will be interested as to the players here. Love long little marimba break drum solo best but the flight of the bumble bee trumpet is not my cup of kool aid. A bit reminiscent of Previte's "circus" music and a bit more fully realized Kamikaze Ground Crew (always loved that name). T-6 - Nice segue!!! Can't place this but that drive behind there is reminding me of maybe where David Byrne copped some of his new aged dance scores. Unfortunately, while this seems the real deal, this genre's imitators start to sound like Cirque de Soleil sound tracks... terrible what over popularized music does to the mind. More circular blowing on the sousa and bandoneon too. (edit: above I'm only meaning that the track inspires much of that kind of music and the lame semantix i have used might make you think i'm talking about the whole test, which i'm not.) T-7 - A call to arms after all that beautiful worldly stuff. Bulls loose in the china shop. Ho whoa now this breaks into some nice and easy latin bits that those who say they hate Herb Alpert really like in private. No dissing with a nice descarga aftertaste. (Wow this disc really holds together quite well (unlike bft 7 that pooped after it got good). The whole platter really gels together for a long listen that goes by without knowing.) Maybe something in here is by Maria Schneider who I have yet to hear. T-8 - A bit of circular calliope now. This one lulled me down until ... T-9 - Could do without the intro cause this piece is a real rocker. Almost has that party feel of the Lounge Lizards "Where Were You?" from ' No Pain..' when everybody just lets it all hang out with such cohesion.... damn! they got it all going and then some (did i spot a bit of 'Freddies' Dead' in the theme after the breakdown?) T-10 - Some more party boys ... another multi faceted cut that time shifts before you know it. Crazy disc here!!! T-11 - While I'm not much on the prepared piano I do like the eastern / afro-celeste-ial mood here. Beautiful ending. Makes me wanna segue tfrom here into that Dollar Brand song on Kaz from another BFT past. Great great disc John! I have never heard any of this before and all are quite ear opening to me. A keeper that really flowed along as a piece to itself.

Nice to see Kitty Collons aren't just for tennis and squash anymore.

The clammers and draggers are pissed up here. All reports say they are used to it but I think Mitt handing out aid now shows this one is nothing to cough at. And no mention of the respiratory affects? Lobsters are to be booming so it looks like a roll for you and one of them gigantic black-rasberry waffle cones with jimmees at White Farms! You'll forget all about them other 'bellies' your missing when you look down at yours!

this is on the "soon to be deleted" list as I too HAD it in my Q. ← I had Timmons in the #2 queue position for 8/17 shipment and just saw the posted note about limited availability...so I upped it to #1 (7/17) and the *warning* message disappeared. I take it that's a good thing? Sadly, the Cannonball/Poll Winners is already history. ← Thought you had them sessions on some Japanomayonaise imports? I recall putting it into my cue ages ago upon reading your recs for them.(?) Came today complete with the signature yourmusic.com/crackedcase.

lejeune in june... if your looking at the fontanas of the ronnie scotts dates i'd say take the plunge. those japanese re-issues are in fotana-esque mini sleeves - which means they are kind of cheezy compared to the hefty japanese mini-lps one might be used to as in the JRVG series. i gather that the original vinyls from the uk were in rather flimsy covers and the japanese have replicated them to a t. sound wise they are great. while i have only heard the japanese versions of "Mexican Green" and "100 %" (which i think were from vinyl sources) from the batch prior these new ones seem pretty impressive when just compared to those. i don't have the discs on hand but i believe the liners are on the back covers if they were there in the first place on the vinyl when issued. the pull-out sleeve notes are japanese.

Happy Birthday belated greetings as well! Geminis usually go a few days with the whole birthday thing.

Who remembers Jack as Merv Griffin's right hand wise guy after Aurthur Treacher? A good afterschool afternoon was Jack and then Jackie Vernon (frosty the snowman fer you yunguns) wiping off one liners. Only reason I paid attention to Jack Sheldon was that voice from the School House Rock bits. I was very, very young then.

must be just the way the new board software uploads from the user's machine.(?) they used to go full image as to file size. that was even small at 52 K or something and in "save for web" mode. guess it cuts down on the server having to the stuff so big all the time? maybe that babe thread would be OK in thumbnail mode now.
