The Lynch/Charlap is the only one I don't have. What's your take on it?

Weather has been unseasonably warm and sunny for the last week or so here. Very strange for this area. This is the time when we're supposed to get cold rain and lots of clouds.

They don't equal each other. Some baked cassettes sound better than some CD-Rs. Ah, baked cassettes for supper. Yum!

Is broadcast radio going the way of print journalism?

When someone says "inside/outside" with respect to jazz, I usually think of Rivers.

I watched about two hours of news coverage last night. Amazing that no one was killed.

And if it weren't for "Creep", you wouldn't even need the 1-disc version. Copies can be had for $4 in many used stores - just keep your eyes out. Already got "Creep" on The Best Of which was the first thing I got by them.

Their debut is the only album of theirs I don't have, but I'm not sure I need the 3-disc version.

Very, very true.

Wonderful news!!! :tup

Actually, when I first bumped into the show as a little kid, just the opening sequence freaked me out.

Got Stit's Bits: Sonny Stitt The Bebop Recordings, 1949-1952 today at (sob!) the Streetlight Records on 24th in Noe Valley that's slated to close soon (choke!) Only $16. I've seen it on sale here and there before, but always with a note that the liner note booklet was missing. THIS one had the booklet.

I took the delightfully anachronistic route of buying the album in a physical store. I think it was worth it. It happened to come out right around the time I was belatedly getting into Radiohead. (Nowadays it usually takes me a few years to notice a group, as I stopped paying any sort of close attention to rock in about 1984.)

Yes indeed. One episode played a surprisingly jazzy version of "Pop Goes the Weasel" on the soundtrack. Favorite part of nearly every episode: The closing overhead shot of the Village, McGoohan's angry face flying toward the viewer then BANG!---prison bars clamp down in front. Trippy.

Tonight: The Naked City, He Walked By Night, Killer's Kiss, and Double Indemnity. Not bad.

Courage, Alexander, courage. Okay, Free For All, you win the geek-of-the-month award. No, you do, because you got the joke! Thank you; thank you very much. No trophy or certificate necessary...I will however accept cash.

Fascinating stuff! One of my all-time favorite jazz groups, seriously underestimated in jazz history IMHO! I tend to agree, though their stock may be rising lately.

Courage, Alexander, courage. Okay, Free For All, you win the geek-of-the-month award.

Now that sounds good!

If they can be re-sold on Amazon like any other CD, what is to stop anyone else from simply burning copies and re-selling them? I see this only muddying the whole market, not helping it. Selling FLACs and downloadable art makes more sense to me. Either way, I wouldn't purchase a used CDR or "used" FLAC files from Amazon or anywhere else. I hate it when people give me FLAC.

I found it an interesting interview. And the title of his book could hardly be more apt.

Remember the Night WAS recently repeated by TCM and I was able to catch it. Not a five-star classic, but a lot of fun.

Will always love his turn as Khan Noonian Singh in the "Space Seed" episode of the original Star Trek. Just saw that he only got $100,000 to reprise the role in the ST movie The Wrath of Khan. They really should have paid him more. Or else given him a little of the back end. Nobody else could have played that role. Oh well. RIP (He was also in one of my favorite war movies, Battleground.)

Yes, that was a good one. He seemed to relish the irony of the role. I also really liked his appearances on Columbo, which I've recently seen again on DVD.

Still, it seems to me that CD-R's should cost a lot less than CD's.
