AWAKE!

Apparently so! West coast baseball, a losing game and the stresses that it creates, and an extra half-pill to get to sleep in time to go to work the next day...apparently there was an....INTERVAL at the computer! Think I better leave that extra half-pill alone. Jibberish posting is one thing, but god forbid I go shopping or driving or try to rent a car by phone and get the wrong number... I'm sure there was some poetry almost there, though...

That's very interesting. That passage you highlight from the liner notes stood out and remained with me as well when I first read it (albeit via the early 90's cd issue ). I often recall it in my mind when I think about things related to the music. Certainly the music isn't ambitious in the way so much Jazz was/is, but it ain't easy to learn to play either. It's still really the earthy side of Be-bop (or at least Babyface is - the music Hobsbawm had in mind might be from closer to the R&B spectrum perhaps? Who is Marlowe Morris MG?) Hobsbawm seems to be from an earlier generation of Left wing thinkers that I know not much about, but I am getting the feeling he was like a 60's Slavoj Zizek perhaps, in terms of being a kind of Left wing public intellectual. That quote made a big impression on me as well, but I feel somewhat saddened that such a basic recognition of the basic humanity of the whole thing inevitable became a political statement. Not saying that I don't understand why it was, but geez, people going out for drinks and dancing and having a boisterous good time to the accompaniment of music of a similar quality, that's a pretty basic human activity, It's pretty damn depressing to think that it took a "political statement" or whatever to see it as simply as it was.

It could happen. Oakland is playing "magic" baseball, and the Rangers aren't. Then again, all it takes is one good outing from either Harrison or Demspter and the offense showing up and that's that. And we had our weakest starting slot out there last night and only lost by one. So "logic" says that, yeah, we can/should win one of the next two. But that "magic" shit...that can be hard to beat. But...that's why they play the games, I suppose.

Can fresh bread be made instead? Please? And don't tell me no knead...

And so it is! The original is pretty strong on its own terms: I don't see Stepney's name on that label. Maybe I was wrong about his involvement?

The live one's pretty good (though very short), just a trio behind her. And "Woman of the Ghetto" from it was famously sampled for that acid jazz hit by St. Germain. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=IDMgBxHcM5M Was it the BN version that was sampled or the one on Chess (produced by Charles Stepney & containing some pre-EWF use of the kalimba by him)? I honestly don't know.

Don't know the live one at all. The other one is ok enough, just not anything "special" compared to Who Is.... which kind of hits a zone.

This one won't be for everybody, but for those for whom it will be, don't miss it.

Ok, I'm in off the ledge. 1-3. in Oakland gets the division, and yeah WC spot no in place. Off the ledge, but going to Oakland, the window's staying open.

Nothing is happening to change my mind about this. Sad. Very, very sad. Oh well...

You can find the album in needle-drop mp3s on the internet for free.

Tampa Bay is a nasty little team. They'll not lose unless you make them.

Time is really running out for the Rangers. Even with a magic number of 3, they have two more against the Angels & three at Oakland to finish the season. Plus, the angels finish with three at Seattle. The Rangers' arms are starting to look worn out, and after today's game against Seattle, there's no way I'm not looking at Oakland as this year's Team Of Destiny. Making that magic number is starting to look pretty damn difficult. Oakland ain't losing, and Rangers ain't pitching. It is not unthinkable that the Rangers fade hard these last five games and don't even make the playoffs. Shit happens, especially in baseball. And oh btw - Mike Adams is now out indefinitely. So yeah, Angels fans, do not give up hope.

Both, don't even think about it (unless you really need to in terms of paying debts/bills/etc).

Perfect world!

It was polyester what killed Bill Evans, not cocaine. Granted, they were neck and neck, so either one could have one the race, depending on where the finish line was. But since it was where it was, polyester takes the trophy.
