  1. Do we love the inadvertently hilarious anthropological liner notes by Gunther Schuller on the Buster Smith album? Oh HELL yeah!
  2. All of a sudden it's a blockbuster!
  3. Here's almost the only article I've ever read in The Onion that's not even trying to be funny: Nation Suddenly Realizes This Just Going To Be A Thing That Happens From Now On And I nearly went to buy a gun to shoot up my monitor when I read this totally serious Yahoo/AP story last night: http://news.yahoo.com/another-superstorm-casualty-trick-treating-213909764.html Here's just the lead-in:
  4. We're still not getting giant killer tidal waves in North America, but you gotta figure that's coming at some point. No reason that I know of why it can't happen if conditions align.
  5. I'm in touch with co-workers in Wilmington, and they are preferring Sandy to Irene. One guy said that last year he had a lake in his basement but this year it was just a pond. OTOH, further up the coast definitely seems to have gotten it significantly worse with Sandy that with Irene. And all that snow...that is just...out there. It's all bad, really, and there will be probably be more to come. We'll need to keep that in mind as more "storms of the century" come along, plenty of meteorological/scientific predictions out there that this is the "new normal", and I'm not seeing any real reasons to be skeptical. You can't break or totally tame Earth. You can try, but sooner or later...
  6. Are they bringing their instruments and recipes with them?
  7. And where does the carrion of 28 million drowned rats go?
  8. Yeah I heard about that, sad story. I remember Perez from the 82 Braves, the year I got into watching every game on TBS. He had a good year for them then iirc, but never really built on it.
  9. Heard something on some news report last night that intrigued,,,something about how the flooded New Jersey shoreline now closer resembles in shape what it did back in colonial days. That interested me because a friend of mine in St. Louis told me back during the last time the Mississippi flooded their city so badly that some "corrections" to the river's course had been made over the last 150 years or so, and that every time the river floods like it did, it always ends up putting the water back where it was before the corrections. No idea how much credence to give any of that, but it sure ought to give one pause to think that we can only push Earth around so much before Earth pushes back.
  10. It's more of a "vibe" thing than it is an exact cop of any particular design element(s).
  11. No idea what the music's like, but the font and layout remind me of a mid-late-60s Prestige cover in a general kind of way.
  12. b/c it IS free form
  13. Wow, talk about bad timing, just saw this on tv tonight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_mM1GEY0Io
  14. This snow thing is really weird. http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/31/us/sandy-west-virginia/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 Nice to see that Erin Burnett see the bright side of it in potential economic relief from ski resorts maybe opening. She's cute. Bless her heart.
  15. How do you fit a whole body on a sofa pillow unless shrunkening is involved? And what is up with the hot volcanic hockey puck at which she is transfixed by? Huh? Excuse me? Is that the secret of This Shrunken Life?
  16. http://help-red.com/ More at the link above. Red put in some time here in Dallas...good play, good guy. Putting the word out here, just because.
  17. Put Wilbur Ware on the front end of that and it makes even more.
