Five pounds? I'll be afraid to open the box! Maybe I'll just put it on the shelf and look at it reverently from time to time...

Wow...this thread started over a year ago? Wonder if I've listened to anything else by the man in that time...hmmm. I'd have to say my favorite so far is the Die Like A Dog disc From Valley to Valley. But then I have yet to find a bad disc with Hamid Drake. (If you know of one, I'm not looking for "shitty Hamid Drake" recommendations; thank you anyway! )

While I'm not happy at the reason for it, I'm glad to see one of our Bay Area treasures getting notice. Definitely a man who made a difference.

Well, at least this time there won't be a raccoon attached to the damned thing!

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday, Brad!

$43.00????? That's nice... I can do a lot of bottom feeding in the used vinyl bins for $43.00...

Just out of curiosity, how often do we have to mention Yoko Ono nude until we become the number one Yoko Ono nude site on the net?

And yet my first thought is that her husband should probably be arrested and charged with domestic violence. But then, I was a cranky baby as well...

Just to show how not into football I am...I had no idea this team existed until they were kicking the Raiders' collective ass yesterday!

Damn...I've never seen that particular problem described quite so well...I need to move to Texas!

That works about as well as yelling out the window; nevermind...

Sounds like you just need to enter a name, hit return, enter another name, hit return, etc. What I need to know is can I send Conn two hundred PMs at the same time....

Because we're Baby Boomers, and we want what we want and we want it now, dammit!

A few comments on the "new since my last visit" posts... 1) Nothing to do with the "should it or shouldn't it" nature of the subject at hand, but please let's not make the mistake of judging a thread by how many regular posters it has. Going by this line of thought and the list of who's posted how many times on the FR thread can only lead you to the conclusion that I hate it. Only four posts on it? Hell, everyone knows I can make four idiotic posts on the subject of dust bunnies, particularly if it's a night when insomnia hits! Yet, it's actually one of my favorite threads here. In fact, there's a lot of areas here where I post very little, yet I'd miss them a hell of a lot more than I'd miss the Political Forum, where I post a lot. It's just that most of my posts in such areas would only be along the lines of "yeah, keep talking; you have an audience!" The threads in which I keep my mouth shut and read what more knowledgable posters have to say are the reason I'm here. If all we had was the threads I actually post in, I probably wouldn't be here, you know? 2) Eric/Dr. Rat: Personally, I think the reception of your Esthetics thread had more to do with the nature of "cliquey" internet bulletin boards than the subject at hand. I honestly think your topic fell prey to the "Bialek Factor"; if you had brought up the subject now rather than then, I'll bet you would have seen a lot less of the snippy responses. That says something about us as a group I don't really want to hear, so let's hope I'm full of shit on this one... 3) I'm stunned to know that maren is on a CD I have on my shelves...

No. He took one look at deus's hunting dog thread and left in a cold sweat...

Well...I understand the arguments against, but I'm going to vote for it. Mainly because it pisses Dan off... Seriously, I'm not sure I can explain why, but it is nice to have this stuff together in one spot because I'm new to it. While I enjoy my Blue Note stuff as much as the next guy here, this is the stuff that really excites me. And whether we like it or not, jazz is fractured today. Nothing we do is going to alter that reality. And while I enjoy the stuff I see in the Funny Rat thread together, the thread is too long to be managable any more. Creating more threads will weaken the chance of seeing the info, yet keeping it all on one thread does the same.

Now he tells me!

You know, this just might be a useful service...

Gack, I'd forgotten this thread...and here last week I finally put out all the cardboard shipping containers and bubble wrap pads from my sets to be recycled. (I finally figured out that I'm never going to sell them, so why keep 'em?). So, those of you who still have yours will be delighted to know that there is one less set out there to compete with!

Wow...speaking as someone who loves Frankie, Ella, Sarah, Bob Dorough, Blossom Dearie (yeah, I came around), Louie, and a host of others, just because Chet Baker's vocals make me feel like worms are crawling into my casket for dinner doesn't mean I don't like any vocals...

I haven't picked it up, but I heard this on the radio the other day. I must say, it was nice to hear something different done with this tune!

LMAO!!! Funniest thing I've read it a while! I'm dying here! This was great....but I may have to take a break from the board for a while. For some reason I felt the need to read it out loud to my wife, and she's giving me that "look"....

Sigh. My first car when I got out of the Navy was a Volvo P1800. Damn, I miss that car!
