Save some of your anger for congress, which still (still!!) keeps the SUV loophole in the MPG regulations. (The same loophole which was originally supposed to apply to trucks and farm vehicles, but which SUV's have been driving through for 15 or more years.) As for GM, personally, I believe investing in more fuel-efficient technology is just "thinking" not thinking outside the norm. Assuming that gas prices will remain artificially low forever, well, that can't be called thinking at all.

Indeed.

You wonder some strange things. (But then again, his TV wife was pretty hot...)

Kalo---you really think Dana Andrews is still under-appreciated?

Sounds great----who released this? BTW, I recently saw a used copy of the Criterion "Notorious" for a mere $50. Too steep for me.

It's like I always say: Driving an SUV makes you crazy.

Something of the sort seems to be happening to me now. I can't get enough of his stuff---this was probably brought on by seeing him live with McCoy Tyner's group in February. He kicked ass, but never stopped being musical. What a showman!

Brown/Roach Quintet---The Historic California Concerts 1954 Coleman Hawkins---Hawk Relaxes Kenny Burrell---Bluesy Burrell Freddie Roach---Good Move!

That'll do it!

And new construction would probably include asbestos if it was still allowed because it was such a cheap and efficient insulator, but as a society we agreed that it was too harmful. I think we're well past the point where we can simply allow people to buy SUVs with such shitty gas mileage. Whether that means command and control legislation to force improvements in fuel economy, or doubling or tripling of the gas tax, I'm for it. Obviously it won't happen in the U.S., much to our shame. Our grandchildren will forever curse us as the worst generation to walk the planet, since we knew global warming was a problem but were too greedy to do anything about it. Not everyone in our generation. What about all the people who bought/are buying Prius's and other hybrids? I must see at least 100 of those on the road daily around here.

Those are the ones I'm going for.

Indeed, the Lost Sessions CD starts out great, goes into the merely good, and ends up with the not-so-good/can see why it wasn't released. But I'm glad I have it for the good stuff. At this point in history, I think releasing the Dorham session makes sense.

...And "Skylark" is another big favorite, particularly as sung by Anita O'Day!

Yes! One of my favs too.

Is that like the 50 states and Springfield; every country has a "Boston"?

I feel much the same, although one thing: When you say your collection is "not huge" I would ask, compared to what? It's all relative, and rest assured, your collection is huge compared to that of many people.

That pretty much says it all.

Because he's not that famous? Just guessing here.

You mean Arrested Development practically invented TV???? Wow.

Andre Braugher is all grey now. Time sure passes quickly.

You mean you had some?

Hey, there's a reason that GM is going down the toilet.

Any of you who don't have Marsh's Atlantic recordings: It's a "major hole" in your collection.

No. But I'd watch those tendencies in the future.
