  1. Answered all of my questions about loan sharking, and many of my questions about tire manufacturing. Win-win.
  2. I'm still trying to decode the anecdotes about Jaws corking up some keys on his horn b/c her didn't need them. But bottom line, yeah, Lockjaw Davis WILL slit your throat and drink your blood.
  3. dammit. the beyonce air shaft videos have all been pulled, or are at lest not available in "my country". that's just not right.
  4. Symphony In Black
  5. Browns interviewing Condoleeza Rice for head coach: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25310452/cleveland-browns-want-interview-condoleezza-rice-head-coaching-job Rice interested in the concept, but not interested in the gig right now: https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/417341-condoleeza-rice-im-not-ready-to-coach-the-browns
  6. Osser's name was often found on the "stage band" arrangements from the 1950s that our high school had, and then discarded in favor of more "modern" items.
  7. I don’t have money for that. Plus I don’t like being in a room with strangers where you can’t talk back to the screen. That’s too much like work, and when I go to work, they pay me. And most of all, there is no pause button in the theatre. When I need a toilet and/or a snack, I need a pause button to go with it. My wife watches enough new movies for both of us. From what she tells me, they’re a bunch of stories with acting and stuff like that. I get enough of that at work, and again, they pay me. More important, the old movies I watch are so old, and often so cheaply made, that they’re like dispatches from another planet. Again, I can get that at work, but these are free, plus with the distinct advantage of being able to fart or burp or, especially,scratch my balls (you older gentlemen will understand) without shame or fear of police action.
  8. The key is to moo on cue like Elsie and Elmer do before they become the goo in the glue,
  9. Indeed, and/yet we live in a time of literal and metaphorical "participation trophies", which is indeed a wonderful way to get people started, but a lousy place to let them stop.
  10. If you hear a little microsecond in the drumming that sounds like Tony Williams, it is.
  11. https://electricliterature.com/the-still-untold-story-of-van-morrisons-astral-weeks-cc68c3c09233 That summer, Van played with a string of Boston and Cambridge musicians. These included John Sheldon, a 17-year-old guitarist living with his parents (Van asked to move in; Mrs. Sheldon said no), Tom Kielbania on bass, Joey Bebo on drums, and John Payne on flute. Other than John Payne, what happened to these other people?
  12. Oh, shit, it's Frances, my bad. So sorry. Fucking vowels...
  13. Thank you for getting it. I got a little wound up/rant-y there, but I speak from the gutbrain as much as possible (and yes, some days, hell, some seconds are better than others). In my experience, the only thing that really keeps some/many/most working musicians awake at night is some combination of coke/trying to get laid/waiting to get paid. Or practicing, with the end of then being better able to do that. Therein, stasis!
  14. RIP. I was a fan for a good while.
  15. That's an entertainable notion. Any word on who arranged it?
  16. Same, on all counts, "Universal Indians" in particular...the vocal, so direct, so obvious, as to be scary unless taken totally "as is", and then,,,it's all good then. But not until!
  17. It doesn't, really. Besides, that time/place, probably any number of people buying more than one type of record.
  18. You trust the media? Hell, they're just saying his government name like the FCC (and the express written consent statutes) makes them do.
