  1. I just read via the AAJ that Parker has another set in the can with Shipp & Medeski? hmmmm. (relyles - i think my reading a couple weeks back was from bagatellen and another site that seemed to want more exploratory Parker for the money. the snips I just heard sound nothing but positive to me. )
  2. thanks sal, listening to tidbits on iTunes now... some reviews I have read take this as not too essential, in so far as Parker's outward play is not the feature I gather they would like to hear, but it sure sounds nice to me. still has his gangling lope underneath it all. seems a bit like Taborn's 'Light Made Lighter' for a pretty inside and accessible Thirsty Ear release.
  3. roddy doyle "The Giggler Treatment"
  4. I don't know why but i rarely check that thread. Funny that whenever i do a search for something it's always one of the ones on call but I never take the time to weed thru it. I do think it's perfect for what it contains ... you got to work hard and pay some attention for the avant garde to bear it's gifts.
  5. so how does the stereo sound in that prius? got to be good since the things are so quiet. really, the only useful thing about driving is the toonz. i finally had a longish drive the other nite in the monsoon and was so completely blown away by Tony Williams' solo on "Olliloqui Valley" that I had to play it three times!
  6. Acquitted? dang, I thought he was just dead.
  7. This BFT no doubt deserves the finest in audiophile playback!
  8. yeah yeah yeah poke fun - I guess you wouldn't wince if it was one of the records with Tony Williams or Blue Mitchell or Frank Morgan, and on. The guy can play and that's a great album worth at least one tenth of that price.
  9. you could buy ten copies of this but it looks too rare. if you do buy just one let me know and maybe we can work somethin' out. feel your groove
  10. Thanks, (fah nuttin') I did just a tad of searching... (searching classical ... c'mon now!) and find you are all correct. I saw some double lp telarcs going in the mid hundreds but those might be rare titles. Others went upwards of fifty but it seemed for the most part that these are not things that command any attention at all so you are at best at the luck of who's looking if eBay is the place to dump them. But hey it is German Digital! I do have one Vivaldi / Karajan 4 Seasons Deutsche Grammaphone in mint vinyl that I picked up at a yard sale for a quarter. Unfortunatley the owner put her name on the front - wouldn't want some drunk at a Frankie Vallie sock hop running off with that one! So Claude, how many of these would you like?
  11. Next thing ya know we're gonna find out this granny was a sub-contract framer.
  12. where's that pee myself smiley!? "hair of a poet" sheesh!!
  13. isn't it "my dad and I" ... but man checking out vinyl sh0ps w/ pops! savor them moments. i remember as a kid my dad once went to the record store and had me tag along. the folks at the front told us not to come in cause they were "burnin' one" in the back. i had no idea what that meant then but still remember it nearly forty years later. in fact that record store became the start of all good things to come.
  14. Man you could do a whole Divine thing with that ... America's Funniest videos watch out!
  15. can you still make a regular audio CDr burn using these DRM encrypted AAC files? well, yes, of course ... i should not be worried then. i guess Claude's point of sound loss had me thinking that the "file" itself was the grail and not the duped copy on the CDr.
  16. but if you've gone to Verve or iTunes and paid a ten spot for an album - without the distribution costs of old, liner notes, artwerk, jewel cases etc - aren't you at least deemed to own the music now rather than leasing it?
  17. Claude, I have burned more than a few items now from iTunes - happy with the sound - but last nite I put some of the files onto my other machine and had to go into the store to allow my other computer to play them. Uneducated guess here but putting the tracks over onto CD and THEN burning to the other machine is the way to go? Are they still encoded and protected then and how does that affexct the loss in quality? ... is it from simply bring an AAC lossless file into the AIFF mode?? would simply changing the name of the file fool the CP, I imagine it is imbedded there forever. (I'm sure there is some other talk about this here on the board and I could spend hours exploring the Apple discussions groups but that place is over my head.) Simple question: what is the best "recipe" for making a downloaded tune from iTunes yours and not a rental. Thanks!
  18. I've about a dozen Telarc late seventies pressings of the standard fare of what they first got into the business about. Nearly all are stil sealed in the bags, not shrink wrap. Heavy duty stuff that was all the rage I think before the dawn of the CD. Are classical vinyl philes even around these days? Wondering if you vinyl nuts know if there is a market for these?
  19. Providence! Used to live there when it was not so nice as it is now, same w/ Cleveland (I leave - it goes all great and stuff). 3 hours max from NYC, easy winters, beachy summers, springtime with college kids, country right to the left, Federal Hill with all the stinky cheese you can eat and the legend of Buddy Cianci!!!
  20. Rooster pointed me here, after having done a search going back only a few months and posting a new topic on him - since deleted to keep all happy. I had no idea of who he even was but saw this cover and clicked.... holy moley that kid can play. eldar's website
  21. pic is not mine ... no carded toys in my stash. always ripped them open on the way home. now if i'd only been smart and bought up all the "pink / fuchsia" cars i'd be rich. have to look up MMM ? ... the sounds worthy! about time we open up a "toy" thread now, what with the likes of Biskup and urban vinyls and such being the craze.
  22. Ya know I did not see this til the new subtitle. I still have all my old Tarzan Gold Keys as well as Torak Son Of Stone. Never bought the superhero types - there were no animals in them so I had to go the naturalist route. Now about the Hot Wheels. Still have my nice storage box of the old red-lines from when they first came out. I can still remember the day I bought my first: rode up to the toy store on the candy apple green schwinn w/ banana seat and laid my eyes upon a purple 'Beatnik Bandit' just like this one- B-) Found myself buying a half a dozen last week, the first in many, many years cause they are still so cool - these new Crooze line issues where the back end is stretched. And a buck each w/ tax!
