Cards in 7. The only question to be answered is who's the new Buckner...

Happy birthday!

Tacky hell; I'd go all the way to 'fucked up' on that one...

Nothing. This month I bought the new Albert Ayler box, three Mosaics (Christy/Lee, Krupa/James and the HRS set); time to cool it. No more purchases until next year!

It looks damned strange anyway, but I'm all for blowing it up...

Yeah, but we're barefoot...be careful with that thing!

I think my impending breakdown is being caused by Windows ME, if that helps any...

I'm nervous as hell about that Johnny Hodges set, but I think I'm okay other than that until after Christmas...

That commercial always got me thinking of some drugged out ad writer thinking with an evil grin, "let's see if I can sneak this one by the bastards!"

More like "hahaha! That song was longer than two minutes! And they expect people to listen to this stuff?" Yeah, I know; I'm a cynic...

I hope you'll reconsider that, Jim. As a relative newbie to this music, I know nothing of Roach's political beliefs or any reactions to them. You've got me curious...

The first Krupa disc. Listened to the Christy/Lee set for the first time earlier today. Loved the Lee; the Christy stuff pretty much left me cold...

Are you serious I thought he just made that one up, but maybe not...

I dunno, eat octopus instead of throwing it?

Yup. Looks like I've finally been relieved of the last sport I actually followed through the season. I guess I could go to boxing matches and see if a hockey game breaks out, but it wouldn't be the same...

Happy birthday, Chris!

'nother one slipping by....happy birthday, Leeway! (Jeez...we're all getting older way too fast!)

This is inexcusably late, John, but happy birthday!

Oops...may have misspelled a word or two (but not three) there...

Sounds like Shitz Maltz Likker to me...

Well, I understand the racial politics dimension, but anyone who gets upset because "lesser artists" are raking in the bucks rather than the riches going to the innovators and talented just hasn't been alive long enough to see how things work in my opinion. It surely can't take that long following pop music to see that the real talent involved is the incredible skill of promotion rather than pure musical talent. Not that I can't understand an artist feeling that way, mind you.

This is funny, coming from you, Greg!

I've been taking it slow with this one, and have only heard disc one so far. Love the Cecil Taylor track. The first cuts though, it sounds like Ayler's on a completely different planet than his band. The band sounds really good until Ayler starts. His take is so different, it makes it sound like the band is just going through the motions all of a sudden...

Whoa. Hold it right there. "Attacking?" Come on, Chris; you've seen Dan "attack" before, and this ain't it. He's just pointing out that, without more information, and knowledge of mistreatment, your attacking Max's family should be questioned. I agree. At some point in the development of Alzheimer's, a family can't take care of the patient, and to assume that they are evil because they've tried and given up and tried to find professional help for him is really cruel and outdated. Some of us have been there, and it's not easy on anyone. If you have proof that the man is being mistreated, that's different, but saying he ought to be at home without more information as to how far the disease has progressed, etc., just shows a lack of knowledge about the disease and it's ramifications.

Oh, man....your post had me shaking for a moment. Thought it said "CD detectors" and was something my wife could use to figure out why the shelves seem to be fuller than they were...
