I have read that THC can affect the heart (makes your heart beat faster) as well as cause an increase in blood pressure. As the jury is still out whether I have high blood pressure, I’ve forsworn any smoking.

Yeah, she is trash, with no experience running a news organization like that. Unfathomable that what was once the gold standard in news coverage has come to this.

In addition to Jim’s comment, Kenny Drew took over Redd’s role. Yes, I’m aware it’s a comp of two different albums. I’m pulling CDs from the shelves that I haven’t listened to in years. Listened to this one the other day.

It’s coming out today.

I’ve smoked occasionally and never had any issues. Anything done to excess however is not always beneficial.

It’s poor. As a devoted le Carre reader and Smiley fan of many years, it was a poor imitation of the books. Best to leave it with the creator.

I didn’t think it was very good. Unfortunately he plans more Smiley books. I doubt I will read any of them.

Shipping to the US is somewhat problematic. I ordered some vinyl inners and outers from a company in Canada and it was shipped but got stuck at customs. Because packages are only allowed to be there five days it was returned to the supplier who has now te-shipped it.

I’m not that familiar with Crosby. I listened to some of the audio samples, which were ok but not compelling enough to want to order the set. .

My copy must be at least thirty years old.

Here is Zev with the Jazz Bums.

I have the Mosaic but I’m sure this is better sounding so I may spring for the CDs.

Recent:

Zev is no Michael. Zev seems like more of a promoter. Michael more a fan and lover of the music which is not to say that Zev doesn’t like the music but in a different way.

I had ordered the vinyl when that was the only option but now switched to the cd.

I hardly buy any new vinyl. Mostly used vinyl.

It was rhetorical. Guess you couldn’t see that.

I think somewhere I read vinyl only.

Those are about the only ones. Otherwise, not that expensive. Saying that a record would have cost you $6 years ago (I hate the expression “back in the day” — what day?) is true but irrelevant because that’s not what the price of new vinyl is anymore. Many things were less expensive years ago. My first new car in 1973 was $2,500 but those days are long gone.

Muse is owned by Concord and the OJC they have reissued are $38 list (although some are discounted) so the price for these, $39, are in that range. That seems to be the going price nowadays for reissued Jazz vinyl. It’s not that difficult to find Muse records. Kind of like Pablo. You can pay $38 (no thanks) or buy used Pablo way cheaper.

Unfortunately I did watch it.
