  1. sorry, i couldn't help myself.
  2. i thought i'd pass this information along in case anyone is looking for sleeves. american-digital, a popular company among some board members, is having a sale where you get 100 free if you buy 3 packs of 100: american digital sale
  3. only if you keep those evil thoughts to yourself. if you communicate them in a manner that leads the intended victim to believe you plan to carry out that threat, then that's considered assault, and it's a crime. there's no indication from the story that they're necessarily going to a "juvie home." still, i agree with the idea that this matter should be addressed from an emotional, as well as legal, perspective.
  4. i can't hate the three sounds. hate is a strong emotion. i can only feel hate for things or people that evoke strong emotion in me. that's why i don't like the three sounds at all. they evoke no emotion in me, fresh or otherwise.
  5. the original theme was written and recorded by quincy jones in 1972. donaldson recorded the tune in april of 1973 and it appeared on his sassy soul album for blue note.
  6. that is incorrect. i know for sure that the discography in the thad jones-mel lewis mosaic listed rejected titles that were not included in the box.
  7. oh! well, that's very different...nevermind.
  8. unless i'm mistaken, these tracks are not included in the box set. they are listed in the discography only.
  9. count me among the many fans of this comedian's sometimes whiny, always sarcastic approach to humor. still, i don't quite understand the title of this thread. if his sexual orientation doesn't matter (and i believe you when you say it doesn't), and you're not asking the question, why is it featured so prominently?
  10. i like that one. it's short, catchy, and pertinent.
  11. I just heard this on the news. Cause of death reportedly was complications resulting from emphysema. RIP Johnny, and long live Carnac the Magnificent, Floyd R. Turbo, and Art Fern, if only in our memories.

    Eddie Higgins

    so, how does one contact mr. higgins? does he have a website?
  13. asking a group of predominantly white males this question might not yield a response representative of your listening audience. unless, of course, your audience is largely made up of white males. i say find another title for the reasons already offered.
  14. actually, the coltrane cd is co-credited to herwig and lynch:

    RVG question

    true blue was one of the first conns.
  16. and what about school, young man!
  17. liberal-thinkers get first dibs, don't they?
  18. i've always liked this poster:
  19. "Machito and His Salsa Big Band 1982" (Timeless 161) was also issued as "1983 Grammy Award Winner" (Impulse MCAD 33106). BTW, I didn't realize until now that 1975's "Eastern Rebellion" was Timeless Records's first release.
  20. FYI, the German ACT label was founded in 1992 by Siegfried Loch, former president of Liberty/United Artist Germany (1966-70), WEA Germany (1971-81), and WEA (Warner) Europe (1982-89). Here's a link to their website: ACT
  21. isn't this an argument for insuring my collection. if i were to lose a hard-to-replace title, i'd want adequate compensation to make up for my loss. this would help me afford the high price of a replacement, or allow me to buy a several new titles.
  22. there's a bigger reality to consider: jazz accounts for less than 4% of all cd sales. why would radio programmers offer music that most people don't seem to want during primetime? jazz fans are better represented during the evening and late-night hours on predominantly college and public radio stations while the massess are vegging out on crap tv.
  23. yeah, i'd say that's an accurate deduction... -_- no, not at all. don't take my comments to mean anything of the sort. "I guess you didn't listen too closely because it's a suberb CD..." it's this remark, and your quoted agreement of it, that prompted my response. my point is this: music appreciation is all a matter of opinion, isn't it?
