  1. Great for sorting things out! ← one might think we could get a gif of a bunch of smilies racing down the ramp and into the fold!!
  2. Thanks for the discs Tom and all. Quite a nice listen after all tracks were sorted thru. Not much up my alley so I can only venture a few guesses. This mid-sixties electric period that much is derivative of is almost non-existent in my collection. Another ear-opener fer certain. On to the "fun" one. Track 1 - Sounds like a George Winston soundtrack piece but I know not much of him these days since new age is old. Track 2 - A bit of a Bill Evans Waltz? Just a snip from a solo. A beautiful Sunday morning opener. Track 3 - Another soundtrack and maybe a Mark Isham mute. (which is what I did) Probably one of the Rooster's bootlegged trumpeters. Track 4 - Now we got some sauce going. A "Freedom Jazz dance" of sorts but no idea of the players... an electric eddie harris thing? Track 5 - "Naked Camera" from Hancock's 'Blow Up' w/ Hubbard / Henderson. Not too certain of the facts on this discography. I had read that this was a British session thru and thru but notes said that Herbie was dissatisfied and laid it down in the states. Maybe some of the Brits can weigh in as to whether there exists some Rendell / Carr in here??? Track 6 - Nice segue from the same period and amazing that there is such a difference in them ideas. Got to be Miles but I have not listened hard enough to this era. For shame! Good jump point here!!! Track 7 - No clue but very nice indeed. Lovano comes to mind but not husky enough. Track 8 - No idea. If I new my trumpet players that drunken warble at times would be the tipper. Track 9 - Same excuse but not as drunk. It swings. Track 10 - Clip from Kirk?? that siren at the end. Byard on there?? Track 11 - Rocker... but no idea... sounds very new in that Blue Note revival era. Track 12 - Another in the same genre/period. No styles come to mind here. Geri Allen but not outside enough - great piece though. Very interested in the guesses from the astute. Track 13 - A little Woody tidbit. No clue at all. Track 14 - Good one for being electric Track 15 - ? Track 1 - My favorite of the whole sheebang. Embodies that Hancock / Miles / Electrix and the broody mood of those "soundtrack" cuts. The splashiness sez Willams a bit but the piano is other than Hancock. wheeew! What a whirlwind.
  3. CDUniverse has Roach back at "ships in 1 - 2 days" status.
  4. Nice little steel funk ditty from the Campbell Bros (?) here w/ some Medeski comping along.
  5. click hear! edit for: now dat be some serious "schtick"! but i do agree that the last couple times i've seen them it has been just that. a bit too light on the grease for my liking. i must recommend that an essential purchase be the piano album "notes from the underground" - newly re-mastered w/ an added track of blues grits. and the sound of the re-ish is fenomeenal.
  6. I've never viewed these things as "movies" (and they ain't films) anyhow and have yet to see the last one, BUT ... if you go in watching for all the work done by some of the most phenomenal crafts-talent - concept sketchers, matte painters, costume artists, sculptors etc. - you've got to be more than impressed.
  7. getting only SQL errors till now.
  8. I have a twenty five year old B&O beogram RX-2 that came with a mid-line MMC 3 cartridge. After a decade or so I picked up an MMC2 (a so-called quantum leap over the stock cartridge supplied w/ the table originally) replacement and played that for just a year. That went idle for about five years and the canteliver went kaflooey on one side (age and storage possibly). Now this MMC2 leans outward w/ centrifugal force of the spin, seems to grind high on the outer groove as the needle points inward. I've recently perused and spoke with the chief at Sound Smith. They will rebuild with no charge for failure - and nearly 3 bills for a successful rehash. Upon recently diving into my old blues lps etc I was wondering what you folks with vinyl on the fingertips might recommend. A new table is probably about the same price, don't feel like making a huge investment and I do like that little Beogram. All things considered I could probably sell that rebuilt MM2 after I got it back for the price of the service. Any thoughts appreciated.
  9. quite the memory there kalo! brings me right back. i was standing to the side for the show and seem to remember it was hot in there. right, that it was the guy in the audience who helped out on percussion! i think Bennink even did a clog solo? a bit reminiscent of Willem Breuker at the Nightstage laying out for some solos and joining a table in front for a beer and a hearty shoe shine. do bands still have fun like this anymore? maybe it's just a Dutch thing.
  10. sounds like "Punch-Drunk Love" to me.
  11. Sox blow one in the top of the ninth! NOT! Varitek walks one off to the Pesky Pole!!!!! Nice call as I had to listen to the Spanish station since the regular call on my AM radio went by the wayside in the ninth.
  12. thank goodness no one has scoffed at the scuffs! lightly or not.
  13. he heh. yeah, those boys got a little too much "High Fidelity" rolling around the brain. purveyors of talent who are not themselves are often a laughable bunch.
  14. You Swiss must not realize that the "merkin" is the state animal of Arizona.
  15. my screen's cyan / magenta color sync must be off. ain't nothin' blue about it!?
  16. So do they 100% guarantee that it's used, or guarantee that it's used 100%? "They" never knew what hit 'em once that well-oiled PayPal complaint resolution system kicked into high gear and picked their pocket for the quick 100% refund. That's an impressive little operation they're running there. They need to get MC Hammer to do some 'PayPal is on your side!' ads for 'em. B-) No Shit on the PayPal strong-arm. I sold something and was hit with a "non received" refund complaint that scooped the funds right out of my account. The guy took three weeks to pay and finally when he did I was away. Rookie went on complaint mode w/o contacting me. He even left "positive feedback" on eBay after receiving the item. I had to escalate my complaint to the highest ups at PayPal and went in with anger management mode aside. They finally saw it my way and put the money back into my account - he got to keep his refund too boot! PayPal is great for the buyer but sellers now must be able to track and prove everything with the new system. B@$t@rD$
  17. Now you know you should have gone with "genki". Hello Kitty's revenge.
  18. but considerate of all the eye parts your average tarantula has, any corneal abrasion could result in an exchange of fluids. and for what it's worth, i think that may in fact be a female spider as i can see no evidence of, arach-nads.
  19. Mine locks up in iTunes as well! If I try to play it in another sequence (the right one i guess) it locks and freezes the box. Grrrr!
  20. Mine arrived and yes track #4 is to be #1 and track #5 is to be in #4's place so that means #1 is now after the 7:15 song. So... that means the opening track is the monkeys flying thru the twisting Kansas air after they dump a historic house on Rooster and his socks roll up when he hears the beautiful piano coming up from the vicked vitch of the vanguard and then all the munchkins do a freedom jazz boogaloo and take blue pictures of dorothy sleeping with the poppies while all the while the tin man festoons a harmon mute throughout. Those are my guesses thus far.
  21. Man I am just listening to Yusef Noteefs "Koko's Tune" and looking at that avatar of Elvin is amazing! He's right on the money!!! and I'm guessing without hearing that if it is on Rooster's test it is track #08.
  22. Oh "drawers"! I thought you meant "drawers"? Being tuesday I still have on monday's with the scooby doo cartoon on the front.
