..And I love those angry red headlights.

That large store on the corner of Newbury & Mass Ave was, for a few years, absolutely great. By the time they moved though, the selection had already gone downhill. Is Stereojacks still in Cambridge?

Good lord, man---what happened?

Good news this. I like your suggestions for further installments in the series, particularly the Shorty Rogers. I was just listening to some Rogers yesterday...would love to get some more!

I like the album Soul Time---very nice, and with Blue Mitchell too.

I sure hope they do.

My man! (Thanks EKE.)

The very first Stan Getz album I ever bought.

Ghost---Re-Inventing Comics is a good deal less eye-opening than "Understanding" but still interesting. Deals more with the business of comics, what's wrong with the industry as it's run in the US, ways to improve it, ways to attract more readers, comics on the internet, etc. Worth a look, but not the kind of book I'd give to people as Christmas/graduation/birthday presents, as I did with the earlier one.

"Awakening" would make a good AOTW too.

Dig the Oberlin! (Big favorite of mine.)

Somebody just showed this to me today. I wondered how long it would take for that much gas to build up inside---he said it took them 15 hours just to get it on the truck. Imagine...you're eating in a Taiwanese cafe'---then you see a whale on a truck trundle down the street---then it explodes! Life can be strange sometimes, no? Glad no one was hurt though.

"Nutty" I thought that one was good enought as-is.

This is one of the reasons why other industrial nations take a look at the U.S. and think we're a bunch of idiots.

Been re-reading Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics" (in short snippets) lately, after having gone to it to look up what he said about Lynd Ward. I've been a big fan of this book ever since it came out, over ten years ago. Nice to see it's still as entertaining as ever.

Great photos! (But where's Ray Nance?)

I agree.

I've seen a few Hep titles here and there...don't know if I own any though. Never thought of ordering from them direct. Wow, another thing to go broke on!

All my sympathies and best wishes go with you.

I went to a local store, got a CD, no discount. When I asked, the clerk didn't seem to know anything about it, but he twiddled some buttons and (bing!) 25% off. From now on perhaps you should always ask if there's a sale when you buy something there.

I've got a couple of these on VHS (and have borrowed a couple more from the library)....I think they're great. Would love to get them all. Amazing to think that shows like this existed back in the 60's.

Yes. I don't have the DeFranco Mosaic with me at the moment, but I believe that IS on it.

Thanks!!

Wow. Can anyone send some of those my way?

I hate the packaging on the VME's (not to mention the prices).
