Man with the Golden Arm

the food will truly knock your socks off. best offerings ever!!! just make sure to don one of them masks whenever you venture by the open air dried fish markets, esp in 100 + august.

Catesta was all over this place ages ago. He rec'd it but, alas, the night we went - at 5:00! - the wait was already an hour and a half. Would have loved to sample it.

saw them early on as well and a couple times after they "really" made it. the first was after the second album had been released with "25 or 6 to 4" as the acid test radio hit. my folks scored tix in the first row. they had the first two albums at home so it was cool seeing something that i was hearing all the time. lost much interest after the chocolate bar cover lp. but you got to hand it to a band that comes on so strong out of the gate. double albums of classic stuff that made America great.

me too, i thnk is see "cubu" just ahead ... geronimoooooooo!

I don't quite understand - once a PayPal payment has been completed it can't be cancelled. A seller should never ship anything as long as the payment has not been completed. Once a payment has been completed the only thing a buyer can do if he has doubts is file a claim with PayPal and ask them for a refund. PayPal will then look into the matter and contact the seller; they will only grant the claim if it is founded according to their rules. ← that's what i presumed as well. i had a buyer cancel on me once but i had not yet sent the parcel so i got lucky. maybe the buyer had the original source of funds revoke the transaction from PayPal? i will get the skinny as to what PayPal claimed on this from the man himself in a bit as he is evidently out of his mind trying to head the fork off at the pass. ← as for my snafoo it was cancelled almost immediately as i had checked more than i would have normally. now as far as the guy with the bike fork: he received a mail yesterday saying he had cash. addressed from the payor and upon checking his payPal account he saw a balance reflecting that $500 payment. he went to the USPS and sent a $500 item with NO TRACKING NUMBER WTF!!!! just being thrifty. he then returned and transfered the funds to his regular bank account. then he received an email from PayPal stating that his transfer had ben reveresed and the he was the recipient of "unauthorized" funds. now he is out the $500 and the fork is on the way to some kid from Bulgaria's uncle in Illinois who will ship it to him after he get's it. Now! if he received a notice that he "got cash" from an actual PayPal isp and then sees that balance in his account I believe PayPal is culpable for the fact that he was on the up and up and shipped the item immediately. something to be said for a bit of procrastination and something more to be said for UPS and tracking numbers for stuff more than a few bills.

anyone know how much time a buyer has to cancell a transfer of funds? just this week a guy at my studio here just sold a mountain bike fork to a stateside buyer. after receivng payment of $500 plus via PayPal and then confirmed to the inquisitive buyer that the item was infact shipped yesterday, PayPal actually phoned him this morning to let him know that the payment had been cancelled. i'm not sure whether he's able to track this as i think the buyer was letting him know that it was not necessary. turns out it was a European base for the payment and not a stateside account. this deal was off eBay thru a bike nerd site. he'd already had a half a dozen ruses prior but this one snagged him. seems to me that these tricks might undermine the trust of PayPal and old time establishments like Western Union would be wise to start a bit of negative advertising to lure away some lost business from the greedy start-up.

Grill THIS! day 5 of a sea tossing boulder throwing Nor'Easter!!! aaaargh!!!!! burgers in a pan in May? blasphemy!

unless you can make it up to Cambridge and to Stereo Jack's, Looney Toons up by Mass Ave on Boylston is the only choice ... that's a good walk. On a map it's on the Fenway side six doors west of Mass Ave. Kind of catty-corner from the Virgin Mega on Mass Ave and Newbury but no need for that place. Even Newbury Comix is moot. But hey, you got enough stuff to listen to anyway so just enjoy yourself up and around the ball-yard and get into it!!! Have a great time!!

hopefully you went and had a dang quesadi"ll"a afterwards!

Cool Drawing Flash kind of looses it once he starts with the hogging out the clothes but very nice even for a fellow "hand avoider".

hey, where the hell did that guy get that secret sacred listening listening hat? ← you mean that's NOT you!? ... there is "white" smoke coming from that chimney above!!

...not to mention that puny buddy bolden mp3 player!!!

this past weekend at the ice cream stand downtown the cone slinger girls were bemoaning the music of the high school prom that was the night before. i asked if they played "Colour My World"? they laffed heartily. i guess that shit still transcends generations.

never walked out of one myself but my wife has walked out of a few including "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover" right at the scene where they lop the belly button off the kid. that's one I should certainly have joined her on. but then again my wife walked out when Ornette started playing the violin! i have changed seats many times due to the behavior of patrons in my vicinity. i remember leaning over before the lights dimmed to kindly let a mother and her three little kids know that "Serial Mom" might not be quite appropriate all things considered - her response was: "Why don't you fucking mind your own goddamn biznitz, asshole."

In college during the midst of cold dry winters we would, after some off campus embibement, go back to a bud's room that had furry shag carpet and proceed to wildly scuff stocking feet on the floor while holding flourescent and black light tubes between palms. The illumination was truly awe inspiring or possibly more that our state of mind was. And that was before that damn Star Wars was even invented. Kids these days just don't know how to enjoy a buzz.

I'l be waiting at Kinkos.

not jumping the gun what-so-ever. single disc will be nice and refreshing and as it should be from here out!!! will PM soon.

another

nice! edit: Just put these here as they are very cool. I will need to check in to Mike's recs.

Really? Coincidentally, I received from Mr. Tanno the 'Blues Inside Out' title yesterday and enjoyed the first spin. First exposure to Pauer....guess I'll have to check out one of those non-"dim" ones. ← Yeys, that trio stuff on Wewerka is right up your strassa!

This one arrived from CDU yesterday. Just a burnt TOCJ here and no time to compare but the sound is great. No hissy remaster or bombastic compression volume hijinx. My first Water purchase BTW and these folks do it right. The sleeve notes are on heavy weight glossy coated stock - not the cheap stuff you can see the type from the other side thru - Blue Note Roques all the way like a Connoisseur Edition. Water should start re-issuing all of the Blue Note titles. A sight and sound blind test between this, a TOCJ, a flimsy RVG and even a Mosaic Select re-issue would unanimously go to Water.

Dusty had these for a time and even had a special on them(?). Today's selection is a bit more limited b@$+@^D$ The two Pauer's - 'Beat the Beat' and 'The Rambler' are a couple of fantastic piano trio sets. Makes that later day 70's Pauer "Blues..." on MPS look dim. :tup Also recommended is the Ronnie Ross. And the comp 'Night Bounce' has a rollicking short take of "Cleopatra's Needle" with some Wes-ish comping.
