I always liked "Rapture Of The Flat" from Modern Drama. It's goofy for no real reason. The rest of her shit sounds, like, really "serious" to me. Such is her calling, but she appears to have had a real gift for goofy that went unengaged.

Marcus Williams explains: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/marcus-williams-who-whiffed-on-stefon-diggs-walk-off-td-explains-what-happened/ sounds like a total rookie brainfart, but i reserve the right to call the D.A.'s office, ok? Either the D.A. or Bill Buckner.

But that comes from Lester too. All praise is due to Lester Young.

what would the world be without Lester Young?

Without a doubt, one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen, starting with the music over the opening credits, and continuing non-stop until it's over.

Yeah, but this wasn't that. This was, looking at it on tv anyway, this was like the guy going out of way to go all the way around the target, no intention to even touch him at all., to actually fly around him. Either it was a world-class brain fart, or else a poorly disguised intentional miss.

Does gambling have an impact on professional sports? I mean, that guy looked like he was aiming to miss. Rookie!

Bill Buckner changed his name to Marcus Williams?

I look forward to not knowing when it's my birthday. It can only lead to no longer knowing how old I am. That sounds like fun, actually.

That's the record that really sealed the deal on Clifford Jordan for me (I can hear people who were there either earlier or later LOL-ing. but other than the Mingus 3 LP Paris thing, I had limited access to the wider world of Clifford Jordan for a while, that Mingus concert got me, but Dolphy & Byard, just sayin', but then here comes this Max record just lying around somewhere, it's a quartet, only one thing per side, and there's only one horn, and whoa, ok, SPEAK indeed). I figure that a man who can thrive with both Max and Mingus is a man of substance.

Max was a big hero of mine for the longest. Then I learned about some less than,uh..., "ideal" personal traits. Then I grew up, eventually, and accept him as a flawed person, but nevertheless a great man. I don't think you understand jazz without understanding Max Roach, he's one of those guys. He's somebody whose drumming left no room for ambiguity. About anything.

Took advantage of the need to drive out to East Texas and back to give some OJCs (+ 1) the official clearance necessary to go up on the shelves.

vis-appropos-visa this general neb ulosity, "conventional wisdom" seem so call Members Don't Get weary the touchstone for the Strata-East thing, but let's step back and look at Max Roach doing this with Clifford Jordan, then let's talk about that.

re?"Mustang Sally"...that's only a drag when a band disregards the pocket of the Pickett record, which is deep and layered and built for the long haul. People don't get that anymore, not that they should, but when in doubt, build from the bottom up and then reinvent as appropriate. imo, this is wrong: this is right: You pull the groove out, you don't try to hammer it in. Old people only seem to move slower. They really think less because they have lost patience, and therefor information. The good ones condense and codify, the rest just...get stupid.. And drunks just drunk. These people should not be encouraged any more than they already encourage themselves. And ideally, less than that. Speaking of In the Mood, I heard the Edgar Hayes "original" (such as it is) version on the radio one evening on the way to a gig and phrased it like that instead, straighter eights and less accented syncopation and the fucking wedding band fell apart, literally fell apart, stopped and started over,with some strong glares directed at the tenor player. So much for really "being there when you play". I mean, sure, chicken-peck a la Ray Stephens, and hahaha funny, but introduce a different a little different type of eighth note and it's like Martians Have Landed OH MY GOD!!!! My request - for everybody in the world to get that Jimmie Lunceford Mosaic and think about eighth notes. I mean, if you get one of those requests of one of those most-hated songs, fuck with 'em. Just becuase you have to play the song doesn't mean you can't fuck with ;em. And if you need a good groove to steal for Mustan Dally, take this on. I did it one night when the singer refused to sing it, so hey, I'll do it, but gimme THIS to do it with, ok? Just slow it down a notch, and don't worry about the standard bar count, we'll go to the IV & V when we get there. Gotta have a musically literate rhythm section, but this one did. Everybody loved it but the singer who let it be known to never to THAT again, fuck it, he'd go ahead and sing it anyway. Most people - especially musicians, look at options in terms of what should not be done rather than what could be done. Fuck that. Hell, use this groove for "Mustang Sally".

I don't want anything requested in the form of a demand or an expectation/entitlement. Other than that, feel free to request anything. Cover bands don't suck because they're cover bands. Cover bands suck because they don't use imagination. I propose a cover band that covers anything, but only the remix.versions. Remixers are the ultimately reality check for cover bands who bitch about being cover bands. Go away drunks.

I would agree, although Potter's been at it longer and, eventually, better.

I've mentioned it before, but back in the late-60s, there were AM Top 40 stations that would set their turntable to run faster than 45 RPM so they could, I don't know, play more songs AND sell more commercial time?

I've only used them once or twice, ever. 2 of the three went seamlessly, but the one that went south wen all the way south. It was resolved eventually, properly, and courteously, but wow, so far south before it did...unshipped merchandise, RE-shipped merchandise, unshipped merchandise delivered, shipped merchandise delivered a week later, card charged once, had to BEG them to charge me again ("most people aren't this honest", they said) so I could give the dupes as gifts...I decided that they serve a market, sure (and apparently quite well) but the overseas thing can get complicated, and when it does,, more trouble than it can be worth in the days of Amazon.

Sped-up vocals, if true, another contributor to the "sheen" effect I get from the record, sped-up vocals and a lot of reverb.. Planet Waves, yeah, I like that one a lot, actually. I once tried to get an R&B band I played with to cover "Going, Going, Gone" as a "soul lament" of sorts. They toyed with the idea but ultimately decided that it would be too big an ask of their audience. But that would have been a thing to do, imo, the way it keeps landing on the minor vi chord, James Carr could have done that one.

Might take a few minutes longer than a minute, but yes, definitely. I find the Crhonologicoal Classics series a delight, yet horribly inconvenient, especially now that they're all OOP.

The guy who build my PC gave me an 100 GB SSD strictly for OS & program files, and 4 TB standard HD strictly for data. His word is that SSDs aren't yet developed to where they really hold up to large data, but they're fast as shit. So I boot and load programs from the SSD, and then save the data to the standard. So far (about 10 months now), I have been well pleased with this setup. I would recommend it to my family, friends, and to all you neighbors out there in TV land. Y'all ask for Tunny, ok?
