  1. Would you rather see your CD at a USED record store or the library?
  2. Wow. If so, that's gotta be a record. Didn't it just come out @ the end of Sept? The Chicago Carnegie Hall box set was available pretty fast at yourmusic. Springsteen's BORN TO RUN box set was also available quickly on yourmusic.
  3. I think I'll go to a USED record store or library.
  4. Noticed coming soon email notices for ; (do a search for these artists and you will see email notice) Hank Mobley Lee Morgan Donald Byrd Johnny Griffin Ike Quebec Dizzy Gillespie Horace Silver Nat King Cole Count Basie Sarah Vaughan Frank Sinatra Willie Nelson Joe Walsh Madonna Joe Cocker I'm assuming some more Blue Note RVG's are coming...
  5. It's 10% off of CDs now. I assume it would increase by 10% each week. So, 5 weeks, till the 50% off sales.
  6. so what is "fair market value" for used CDs? What would the local store pay you. AND DATS DA TRUFE! ourse, if you're pay I thought they allow you to write off the retail price. I guess I was wrong. Oh, well. Still beats going to the Post Office. If I declare $8 per cd and $10 per dvd you think that's ripping off Uncle Sam? Librarian said they will only sell whatever I brought in if it duplicates titles they already have. Guess they won't sell any of mine, cause she didn't know who Keith Jarrett was...she thought he was European. I told her that Sonny Simmons was early rap, but w/out explicit lyrics. Anyway, if anyone is interested in any Jenna Jameson dvds, you're welcome to attend the Coventry Public Library Annual Charity Sale next November. I wonder how they got there... It's doubtful, that you'll get audited. But considering that some CDs can be purchased new for $5.99 from yourmusic and DVDs on the weekend sales from Best Buy/Circuit City for about $5. Your declared values seem alittle high. (probably double) What's a "whole bunch?" Over 100 CDs? If you're declaring over $1000 in donations to the library, you're likely to set-off a FLAG to the IRS. (higher chances of an audit) (since you didn't have an appraisal of the value of the CDs/DVDs) I thought any non-cash donation over $5000 needed an appraisal? IRS Publication 561 explains (?)

  7. PM sent on Sidney Bechet
  8. Oakland looked strong. Dodgers look weak, so the Mets win. Padres... what happened to the offense? The Cards don't look that strong either. American league should easily win the WS. I like Oakland over anybody. (my orginal picks were Twins/Padres)
  9. It's available from yourmusic for $5.99 with free shipping. (taxes added)
  10. I always thought Clemens was juiced. Gagne looked pumped too. Luckily, he hasn't played the last 2 years and collected $20 million for his SAVES 2 years ago. (He should retire) Giambi seems to have recovered after he stopped getting juiced.
  11. Wow, the TWINS and PADRES in the WS. Will anybody watch?
  12. The Mets and Yankees have a good chance of playing in the WS. But all the top teams in the American league look HOT and the National league has streaky teams. (The Mets might act like Atlanta in the playoffs.) I can't believe that BOSTON and the WHITE SOXS might not make the playoffs.

  14. I'll buy it at $15. Comments welcomed.
  15. Does anybody know anything about this CD? I'll buy it for $15
  16. Does Brother Thelonious Ale Taste As Great As It's Name? Aug 28 '06 (Updated Aug 28 '06) Author's Product Rating Product Rating: 4.0 Weight: Flavor: Complexity: Pros Very interesting, tasty, satisfying brew Cons none, really The Bottom Line A solid brew, well worth buying. Nice looking bottle, too. It will be on display in my studio, next to Saxo. Full Review Many thanks to the category lead, Bruguru, who was hip enough to enjoy this and add this to the database without me asking. When I saw Brother Thelonious Belgian-Style Ale at my local liquor superstore, I had to have it. This had the best looking bottle with a musical theme since Saxo. I hoped that this would be good, since it is brewed in California by the North Coast Brewing Co., who has a great reputation. Thelonious Monk was a famous jazz musician, both as an eclectic Pianist and composer. Their website proudly announced that: “The beer is being released in conjunction with the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz (www.monkinstitute.org), and the brewery will make a contribution to the Institute for every case sold to support jazz education.” Well, I’m all for jazz education, and I’m all for beer. For me, the real question is “Does this beer taste as good as its name?”. When I was in grade school, the horrid Old Milwaukee brand had an advertising campaign that asked that very same question. Of couse, I said that it did when I was choking down my first beers. I was wrong then. So, what should a beer named after Thelonious Monk taste like? Unique There weren’t a lot of players around playing his style beforehand Bold almost bordering on shocking, some of his solo and compositional choices were a challenge for other musicians of his era. synergy his bands always were filled with solid musicians, who achieved synergy together juxtaposition of compositional and solo elements some of which didn’t appear to belong together So, will Brother Thelonious testify to a jazz and beer lover? The label describes this as “Belgian-style Abbey Ale” and reports an abv of 9.0%. The Nose Lots of nice Belgian malt aroma, mild sweetness. The Pour Dark brown, not quite black, a moderate head formed and then dwindled to about 25% of its peak. No real change in the aroma. The Taste light malt, very sweet, fruitiness tasting like raisins, some molasses. There is a smoky flavor reminiscent of barbecue sauce. The body is closer to medium that Goose Island Pere Jacques, but it’s not quite there. The Aftertaste Really intriguing – the smoky barbecue sauce remained after the rest of the fruit faded. This was an extremely pleasant finish. There was a little of the alcohol burn, but surprisingly little given the 9% abv. Food Pairings This is a sipping beer. It is fine by itself. It would go well with steaks. I also think this would be great with strong cheeses. Final Thoughts Y’know, I do think this tastes as good as it’s name. The barbecue sauce/smoky flavor provides uniqueness and juxtaposition. This brew is nothing if not bold but there is nice synergy. I’ll go 4+ stars on this. Solid, enjoyable. I’ll buy it again.

  17. Have you tried it?? Brother Thelonious (Monk) Beer: North Coast Brewing's New Belgian-Style Abbey Ale Posted: 2006-04-19 THE NORTH COAST BREWING COMPANY PRESENTS: BROTHER THELONIOUS BELGIAN STYLE ABBEY ALE With the developing interest in Belgian abbey ales and the monasteries that brew them, it's time to remind the world that here in the U.S., we have a Monk of our own. Jazz icon Thelonious Monk is the inspiration for North Coast Brewing's new Belgian-style abbey ale called, appropriately enough, Brother Thelonious. The beer is being released in conjunction with the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, and the brewery will make a contribution to the Institute for every case sold to support jazz education. Like a Belgian “Dark Strong Ale”, the beer is rich and robust with an ABV of 9%. The package is a 750 ml bottle with a traditional cork and wire finish and features a label picturing the jazz master himself. ”Being a huge fan of Monk and his music has made working on this project something special”, said Doug Moody, North Coast's Senior Vice-President and National Sales Manager. “We're honored to be associated with a world class organization like the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz and feel that this terrific beer will represent its namesake well.” Look for Brother Thelonious wherever fine beers are sold and fine sounds are heard. The brand will be introduced initially in California. Seattle and Portland will follow shortly after that; then New York and Chicago and a national roll-out.
