  1. Stitt's BAAAAAD here. And that rhythm section...how often did Ray Brown team with Gus Johnson? But all taht, yes. But Sonny Stitt actually "clowns" a bit. And seems to be enjoying it! Who knew? Full clip here:
  2. oh geez, now that you mention it... Grab your hat and get your goat
  3. but yes, mind-boggling, still.
  4. That track's been out for years...BANDS FOR BONDS!!!! http://www.plosin.com/MilesAhead/BirdSessions.aspx?s=470920 But what is that disc in the video? And I'm not sure that I've heard the entire broadcast? Just the "bop" cuts?
  5. Terre Haute, also the home of the Columbia Record Club?
  6. Bring back the dead balls to compliment the dead players!
  7. Lose the DH, but aluminum bats for everybody!
  8. good cards, lousy bubble gum. Tasted like gin.
  9. I have a lot more disposable income now than I will when I retire. So now's the time to buy.
  10. I wasn't an early adopter, actually. I was more than a little turned off by the sound of the early digital product, and only began to adopt when my wife won a Discman at a convention she attended. Hardly an audiophile entry point, but it was an excuse to buy product, right? But I was interested, interested enough enough to check the stores to see what the product was. In those very early days,, that label - DMP - was getting product out there before the majors.
  11. Finished this earlier in the week. Now I can put names and faces to the historical "they" and the events and activities that they were engaged in. Only the names have changed, the game hasn't. Recommended.
  12. Burns really screwed the pooch in that regard, but no surprises there. I'm waiting to see if Matana Roberts re-enters. Alto, but a very striking original concept of presentation. And how could I have forgotten David Boykin & Ed Wilkerson? Massive memoryfails on my part.
  13. flim & the bbs, whatever that label was.
  14. Just remember, friction is what keeps things together.
  15. Exactly. Bird was one of those guys who absorbed everything relatively at once (and early) and then spent the rest of his life playing with it.
  16. David Price was outstanding, and he’s the last of his kind https://www.sbnation.com/2018/10/25/18020854/david-price-world-series-game-2-red-sox by Grant Brisbee
  17. Bird told Paul Desmond: "I put quite a bit of study into the horn, that's true," he said. "In fact, the neighbors threatened to ask my mother to move once when we were living out West. She said I was driving them crazy with the horn. I used to put in at least 11 to 15 hours a day. ... I did that for over a period of three or four years." But you can't use Bird as a model for anything behavioral, to be honest. He was a genius in the true sense.
  18. The Bop Cop cops. What I find more amazing is that a former Governor of Texas faked his death so he could move to a foreign country to write detective stories. I bet if we had the key, we would find that heis telling us what really happened that one fateful day in Dallas.
  19. If he doesn't phone it in, be sure to offer him a personal thanks for that after the gig. Cats love it when that happens!
  20. Exactly. Let the punishment fit the crime.
  21. I think it's both reasonable and possible - likely, even - that an immature person will make immature decisions, just as I think it's both reasonable and possible - likely, even - that an aggressive person will make aggressive calculations as to who/what they can successfully target their aggressions. I also don't think it's at all unreasonable to define predatory behavior as one type of aggression, just as I don't find it unreasonable to view an intrinsic willingness to cede one's own power as one form of immaturity, or even weakness. However, I also don't think it's unreasonable to recognize that weakness and aggression can coexist in the same person, and that one trait can be used to position one's self to better utilize the other. In other words, people be fucked up creatures, and seldom more predictably than when sex becomes a calculated strategy rather than an innate urge. I see that happening here, and yeah, fuck 'em both for that.
  22. "You owe me a lifetime of p***y." Seriously? The only thing as fucked up as using that line is falling for it. He said/she said, I'll gladly call bullshit on both of them.
