Rainy as fuck. But I guess we need it.

Notice how subtle they are about the SF location.

I've found that Betty's character seems to get more enigmatic as time goes on. Or maybe just more unlikeable. She has a very brittle personality, and doesn't seem to make any effort to understand the people around her. Boy, I feel bad for Sal! And I guess he's not going to be on the show anymore, which kind of stinks.

I love the British 60's group, The Zombies. Great harmonies, clever song structures, catchy melodies, good musicianship. And from what I hear, they did NOT feast on human flesh, and you've really got to hand it to them for that.

Very interesting! Thanks for the link.

At the risk of repeating someone else, I've got to recommend the five volumes of Shelly Manne & His Men At the Black Hawk. Great live West Coast Jazz. Also have to put in a vote for any or all of the Curtis Counce Group albums.

Rather nice title...

I expect Errol Flynn to pop out of those trees any second.

I think that would describe several Mann films.

...most Onion stories are one-joke pieces. It's how they unfold and sketch-in the joke that makes it.

Fossil Fuel just arrived in the mail; an XTC singles comp.

He was mightier than the swordd, or so I hear. RIP

I'd have to say it struck me as a trifle below-average when I first heard it, especially considering the lineup. But with repeated listenings it began to grow on me somewhat. But MOST things start to grow on you after a while....

I've got to admit, he started winning me over a few months ago. For a few years I was rather indifferent. I mean, hey, at first anyone would seem great compared to the departing Craig Kilborn, whom I loathed. But for years I only caught his (Ferguson's) show once in a long while, and nothing I saw made me a confirmed fan. But this Summer he really started showing some game. Or else I was getting more on his wavelength.

No love for 30 Rock? He's great in that.

...And the artist. I'm sure 1500 or 2000 units sold would be considered a bomb by Wynton Marsalis.

XTC---Oranges & Lemons

Bixieland has been banned? Good news. And about time. The guy was a complete troll.

In the Colbert interview he struck me as a reasonable, intelligent guy; well-spoken but with a sense of humor.

The White Album has a lot of high points, I agree. "Penny Lane" is certainly McCartney, but McCartney when he had real brilliance to back up the wussiness... As for "Strawberry Fields" being brilliant, well, DUH...

I've heard this already (Bob is a friend). You guys are gonna be happy! I'm looking forward to this. A lot.

HBDC!

OMG

Happy Birthday, you Magnificent Goldberg!

Hmmm...played piano w/Lester Young, arranged for Marvin Gaye, wrote "A Taste Of Honey"...maybe not "heavy" in any one thing, but anybody with that wide a range, not just of skills but of demonstrated more-than-mere-competency is certainly no "lightweight"... I meant in the sense of actual physical mass...or in the sense of the song, which means....um....what now?
