I would not be without interest is seeing this...

God, I love this song.

Any idea who released this, and to who?

Now that's the Koji we came to know & love in Texas! Tampa Bay don't stand a chance going forth, and Joe Maddon is getting into Mike Sciosa territory with that Look That Makes Me Want To Smack Him Some Kind Of Silly (as does Fernando Rodney's cap angle), but that was a fine game of good clean watching everybody you don't like have to suffer, if only for one night. Napoli's visibly frustrated having to make the out at first and let the tying run score was just collateral damage. We still love the Naps here (as we do the PADMY in LA). But the world is not perfect. The Official World Series Narrative is likely to be Dodgers vs Red Sox - ONE YEAR LATER: WHO GOT THE BEST OF THE TRADE?!?!?!?!?!?! but I'm still hoping against reality for a Pirates/A's showdown. Where's the "narrative" there? Not one? Perfect!

Ok, I've read this article several times now, and although I feel the rage-pain, this guy is essentially a whiner. Here's why: . No, I'd say that there's more transparency now than ever. Infinitely more. Most of the young players I know are illusion-free about the business today. Couple that with this: Well, DUH. Business people are running businesses and doing what business people do - finding ways to make a profit. And finally: What this all adds up to for me is this - Business is doing what business does. Get over it. Stop worrying about "artists" being "destroyed" by a system that clearly is not predicated on the need for them to do so. The smart money is on positioning for the future, when, hopefully, the real artists, the ones who have something to say that has no predication whatsoever on "moving product", don't even bother with the traditional business models and find a way to get heard by those who want to hear them that they can control, or at least influence. I probably won't live long enough to see that really happen, but jeez, this guy is all like THE DINOSAURS ARE DYING, WE'RE ALL GONNA STARVE TO DEATH instead of hmmm...wonder what else we can eat, and where can we move to find it? I remember when The Internet was going to mean an end to The Music Business As We Know It because artists could now control the means of distribution themselves. So, what happened? All This Power went...where, exactly? How? Why? The business people were behind the curve, they kept trying to sell music, and then they realized they didn't have to, because that's not what most people want to buy these days. So they got ahead of the curve. Now it's the "artists" who are behind the curve. There's too much music that doesn't distinguish itself, and therefore is dependent upon the kindness of strangers. Where are the people willing to just say Fuck You, Music Business and just make the stuff, document as needed, and then wait (yes, WAIT) for a Need That Cannot Be Met Any Other Way to develop? Until then (and for everybody else), supply is exceeding demand. Prices are lower than ever and so is quality, but hey - the people who know what the people want are giving it to them, and they are making money (or so this guy says). Tell me again - how did Charles Ives make a living?

wow

I think he came to my door yesterday. Him and some other dude. They were both on bicycles. Stayin' in shape, these young folks are!

Sorry. Maybe without the words. Maybe. Make me rainbows? Screw that. Make me dinner. Make me rich. Make me shut up and get back to work. Just don't make me no freakin' RAINBOWS, ok?

...hmmm...I find it unfortunate...and not because of anything except the participants' results. Perhaps Charles Stepney instead of Richard Evans would have made it less so. But that first cut sounds like a left-over from one of Evans' Woody Herman dates (and the vocal and the guitar sound overdubbed, and not integrated particularly well into the final mix. And that splice at he end of the guitar solo...wonder if the album had that...). But nothing says "contrived & half-ass" like half-assed contrivance itself. As for "Make Me Rainbows"...Stepney could have made that one work. This does not work, this is silly, like...take a sad song and leave it to itself to stay sad. Maybe they should have covered Donny Hathaway instead of The Bergmans. Evans could do that. That's pretty silly too, but it stays within itself, and there were words.

I've never been more fulfilled by any music, ever. For whatever little that's worth.

It would be hard to imagine a more perfectly unwitting, unsolvable, and, most perfectly of all, unstoppable instrument of Divine and/or Satanic torture to a collective organizational/civic Karma than Tony Romo. If there is to be a more Cosmic FUCK YOU, JERRY JONES in the cards than this game today, it will likely occur on a vibrational plane beyond anything to which I believe I can bear material witness. However, one hopes. One hopes.

Liking the character of the A's last night & the Pirates today. My kind of baseball! That would make for a good Series, although a ratings disaster, probably.

Another window closes...

YAY!!!!! Hope you like it. MG So what on earth's that one anyway? I don't have eyes like a hawk and never saw the sleeve, so I'm clueless ... I asked that same question yesterday. No response. http://www.discogs.com/Willis-Jackson-Soul-Grabber/release/2355579

Yes, you will want the mono copy for "The Sky Fell Down". Perhaps you will want it, that is. I know I did. There's other ways to get it (most favorably on The World Of Duke Ellington, Vol. 3) but that's such a gret cut and such a great record, why not make the liner notes keep their word?
