South Central Cartel - South Central Madness This is the 2018 repress, not sure what justifies this for re-pressing on vinyl but I got it dirt cheap. Sound quality is ok, obviously digital tracks but I no longer have my cassette so its been fun revisiting.

My setup is: Receiver: McIntosh Mac4100 (Craigslist pick up to replace a Marantz 2238B i need to recap) Turntable: Pioneer PL-55 (I picked this up in Albuquerque, NM from a thrift shop cheap because they were moving and cleaned/rebuilt it) Cartridge: Ortofon 2M Blue CD Player: Emotiva ERC-3 Tape Deck: Tascam 112B (picked up on Craigslist for $20 and rebuilt it) also a Nakamichi RX-202 (sometimes you hit play and it doesn't move, turn it off and back on and its fine, I've taken it apart a couple times and can't figure out the issue) Speakers: Klipsch RB-81 Reference II

The only music I've had to return in the last 10 years is the Super Deluxe of Sign O The Times. And that is the CD version. I'm not super picky though. I get the concept of the record should be new but I have to wash them anyway due to paper/static when I get them anyway. The Miles Davis UHQR issues sound legit, and kept me from buying it. Especially given the cost of it.

Got my contact sheet to the framer yesterday and went over the plans. Should be back in 6-8 weeks.

On my phone I only see half of each post. I don’t even know what is being presented. I tried flipping and it didn’t help at all.

I'm not sure what the defense is that he didn't do it. As far as sentencing I think the important thing is paying the restitution for the wasted resources. I think he is out on appeal now but I honestly didn't care enough to click past the headline/blurb. I had read this case is siimilar to the Pepino case where she claimed to be kidnapped, the thought is she'll plea out with paying restitution and maybe probation. I think Jussie was in a similar situation at one time with an Alfred plea, but he decided he wanted to fight it. This is all based on memory though and intrigue about the case because it was so bizarre.

Now Chapman to the Bluejays. A’s doing A’s things once again. I wonder if, they probably a big IF, they get the okay on the Howard Terminal location to build if the cheap ways will change.. I doubt it.

I called him Morgan…

As an A’s fan the lack of spending can be annoying. It ain’t my money I wish they’d spend money like the Yankees. A’s doing A’s things.

Article about Bandcamp Burnout. Very interesting. I listened to a podcast that discussed this from an artist perspective. Bandcamp Friday Burnout?

Yeah I have the same feelings about pre-orders. I’ve been waiting for the Horace Tapscott - Tapscott + Winds I ordered at the beginning of the year and was supposed to ship January. I saw the new Jesse Sharp and the Wu Ensemble, ordered it and asked about my pre-order. Magically its shipping now but I’m irritated because it’s shipping with the Jesse Sharp and I paid separate shipping for each. Shady in my opinion.

I picked up Jackie Venson -Joy on vinyl today.

Based on what I’ve read in Pitchfork it appears Bandcamp as we know and love is probably going to change possibly dramatically

Saxophone player. Debut was Can’t Wait For Perfect on Fresh Sounds. I first heard him on his A Live Life release which is fantastic. He used to play the Blue Whale a lot and plays the Baked Potato frequently. Had a YouTube channel that he hasn’t been as frequent on but is really informative. Just an overall great guy and excellent composer/saxophonist. He’s a purchase without hearing samples for me personally

Thank you. Chris is a MONSTER! That was incredible!!

Chris Potter solo with them is insane. I'm only tangentially aware of them due to Bob Reynolds association with them. They don't offend me like they appear to so many others her but they don't get my dollars either. Good for them doing what they are doing though. The "live" record in the studio thing is interesting and I would like to check out artists I like doing that, but not them. Chris Potter solo

Haha

My intentions were never to make you this angry. My apologies. As I said previously I view workforce differently than product and you view them as the same thing. No need to attack me over differing views. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10028196-mlb-owners-only-have-themselves-to-blame-for-lockout-reaching-a-new-low-point

Just remember this is a Lockout not a strike.

Season will be shortened as expected. Side note, Manfred is really unlikeable.

Very cool. Thanks for the info

that’s good negotiating depending on the side you’re on. There isn’t only one side of negotiating and if the other side is considered the “enemy” as the owners view the MLBPA then you start on the wrong foot to start. The problem is, in my opinion, the workforce should be viewed as a partner and not a product. Again, I’m pro-union so I find it offensive to be low balled, where you believe a low floor must be set. I view labor and product two vastly different needs, where it sounds like you view product and labor the same, thus negotiations are the same.

Is low balling not bad faith then? Or is that just good negotiating? It all depends on the side of the negotiation you’re on.

Correct. I think the important thing is there was an expectation of a shorten season because they already know it can work because it’s been done. I think the biggest news has been the universal DH.

I guess we have different views on negotiations. I think it is hard to be harsh when I don’t have any “skin in the game” so I can’t say they aren’t negotiating in good faith. owners are opening their wallets? Why do you care if the owner spends money? Nixon torpedoed the rights of laborers with the air traffic controllers and the mindset has taken hold across America that the rich should get richer at all costs.
