When I Look in Your Eyes. You think I'm kidding about 'em all being here? Although this one, in my wife's bizarre filing system, is next to Englebert Humperdink rather than Lee Konitz...

I agree. We're very repressed here. Taught that sex is dirty thing that must be hidden, and something we should be ashamed of. On the other hand, if you're friend doesn't see anything in the way of mild eroticism, perhaps they need to watch more television. Just concentrate on the ads. Eroticism in this country is a sales tool...

Man, I envy you. Sure wish I'd discovered jazz before I gave up on the 'bone... On the other hand, sixth grade might have been a bit early to appreciate Teagarden and Johnson.

Might as well come out of the closet here...between my wife and I, I think we have all of her CDs in the house. I thought the first three were pretty good, and really like All For You. Love Scenes was a let down, but the wife liked it, and she bought all of them after that, except the live one. On the other hand, I like the live one, except for one song, which I think really sucks: Just the Way You Are which closes out the album. Guess what is the only song my wife likes on that CD?

I feared the former; the latter was obvious, either way!

Uh...so what's you address? Hell, I have a year to get a costume together...

Hans, blame that on my worrying that I'll look outdated. My Aim is True is my absolute favorite Costello LP, top to bottom. However, keep in mind that it's one of those albums that changed my musical life drastically. Once I heard Watching the Detectives, my musical tastes changed radically. It was goodbye Mott the Hoople and Black Sabbath, and hello anything from Stiff Records... I'm afraid my favorite Costello period will always be the first three albums. Quality of the music aside, they just meant so much to me at the time. I was no longer listening to my friends' music, or my cousin's music; I was listening to my music. That's a pretty strong plus for any other music to fight!

It was a dead one for us. Very few kids. About 9:15, three kids knocked on the door just as we had decided we were stuck with a whole bowl full of candy. Yup; I emptied the bowl into their bags! You should have seen the youngest...thought she'd found the motherlode! After that, we shut off the lights and went into the bedroom; we had thoughts of these three kids spreading the word about the crazy people that would give you a whole bowl of candy...

Jacman, was this thing serious?

Mention this again, and we will be forced to liquidate you.

Happy Birthday, Claude! (By the way, I'm glad to see someone have a birthday lower than 40; I was afraid you youngun's were falling behind! )

Donna Rice Hughes is full of shit. Mrs. Moose has one serious advantage over any "airbrushed porn queen": she's right here. (Okay, there are others as well, but I'm not going to waste a "how do I love thee" post on you guys; I'll save it for Valentine's Day and get points for it! )

I'm curious as to what the actual charge would be. Since there is no $200 bill, how could it be considered counterfeiting? Perhaps "defrauding a fucking moron?"

Wow! Maybe I should protect all of the corners on MY LPs...would duct tape be even better?

Well, it's certainly more tasteful than the Ron Jeremy one...

Yes, it's legal.

Cool...we'll be as famous as that guy behind the drummer at that concert they had back in the early seventies where that band played that song...you know the one I mean!

I remember Dark Side studio footage from seeing it in the theater, if that helps.

Yup. Couldn't read a word...

Okay, I have to admit it: I liked that one...

You can't get any cheaper than EZBoard, but unless you cough up some cash, the popup ads will drive you and your former classmates right up the wall...

Lawrence- I just looked at my TOCJ to see if they were used there. Duh...can anyone tell I don't look at liner notes too often, and that I've never looked at the liner notes of a TOCJ before?

Good stuff, Paul! Congratulations!!

I picked 40's, although I've been dabbling in jazz for far longer. Dad had a few jazz records (Sarah, Ella, and a bunch of dixieland revival; the last ones never appealed, though), so I've heard some jazz all my life. I made early jazz purchases in my twenties (Pat Metheny, an unknown Dizzy Gillespie cassette), and then bought around twenty LPs in '86 in an effort to expose myself to more. But the bug didn't explode until early '99 while, as Rooster did, I took a jazz class at the local college. Most expensive course I ever took!

Oh, man...bringing this thread back at this time with my current musical obsession was not cool, Ghost! This could push me over the edge...
