We use ours with the sleep function when we go to bed rather than to wake up. Waking up, I use the alarm. I used to wake up to the Rush Limbaugh show, which was an effective but painful way to get myself out of bed fast. (The trick is to put the clock radio far enough away from the bed that you have to actually get up, and hopefully wake up, before reaching the clock...)

I remember a movie from the midseventies, I believe it was Freebie and the Bean or something like that, that was filmed in San Francisco about the time I was living there that totally held my attention simply because most of the movie was filmed at different spots that I visited at least once a week. I can't tell you what the movie was about now, but I still remember a scene involving Embarcaddero Center...

Now that brings back memories!

That's the lamest idea for a thread I've ever heard; put down the crack pipe and open a window...you need fresh air!! You mean like that?

Little Nipper ain't gonna hear the voice of his master anymore...

This will have to be changed for the new series. How about OH MY GOD! THEY KILLED KENNY!! LET'S PARTY!

I'd have to go with "Straight, No Changes" as a fave, but they're all funny!

No kidding? Canadian bacon is a pork product? I'll take your word for it, but I assumed it was a ham-like product made out of a smaller animal or something. I dunno, prairie dog or something.... Anyway, I definitely went with American bacon and eggs, but grits are a must!

Are you alright, Jim? Maybe you need a McGriddle....I understand the syrup is actually baked in!

Plus, with the smaller size, it's easier to direct your drool away from the page!

Yes, but I'm back now...

It's a damned interesting read, if nothing else. I must admit, the "indie" tag often sounds like the old "we're number two" ads from Avis, if I remember right-kind of self-defeating. It seems as though an act is aiming for the ghetto (in the sense of a narrow slice of the population versus the population at large) rather than the big time. On the other hand, is their anything wrong with that? No, but as the article mentions, telegraphing that you're willing to settle for a tiny slice of success might limit your chances at even reaching that level. And I've always loved that quote from Eno. But then when I think of Miles Davis, I always think "great bandleader", "great promoter", "great inovator", but rarely "great trumpeter"...

Me too. I just never listen to it.

Agreed. (And welcome to the board, dude!) There's just too much good music out there to spend my limited funds on another-and-another-and-another remastering of the same thing. Even if I wanted to do it, when it came time to open the wallet, I just couldn't do it...

Skeith, I'd damn well better like it, at least just a little! My wife loves the stuff, so I get to hear it quite often. I must admit that I Only Have Eyes for You by the Flamingos is a guilty pleasure. I have to be in the mood for the stuff, but when that's the case, I can enjoy a lot of it. Some of it just leaves me puzzled though...

Now that's a depressing thought...

Are you sure that's not a portable still?

There's only one CD that I have an RVG and a preRVG copy to compare: Soul Station. The RVG sounds a lot better, even on my cheap (as in "too cheap to say how cheap it is on a jazz board!") stereo. That said, I still can't seem to make myself buy a disc I already have... If I'm not willing to buy the RVG of Out to Lunch, you can bet I won't be "upgrading" anything else!

He's got me in numbers as well??? Sometimes it doesn't pay to get out of bed!! Fine; here: Maybe they won't notice one's missing...

I want it entered on the record immediately that I have the most posts in the political thread only because I run my mouth too much! Er...I mean...

Wow; I wasn't even close to the highest percentage!!

Oh, dear...I know mine's high; I'm getting nervous here...

Please tell me I'm not at the top of the list, at least!

Uh...there is sort of an "unwritten agreement" on this, isn't there??? I mean, if Mrs. Moose ever totals up my jazz bills...

I agree. I've been holding off on buying the first two you mention in hopes, but I'm beginning to wonder... I can't help but wonder if this isn't hurting Blue Note to a degree. There have been quite a few times I've picked up a disc I'd like to buy and hear, but then I think "nah; wait and see if an RVG come out..."
