I'm gonna be ok, just gotta vent that frustration steam every so often...like whem Mike Adams lets a man come bck from the dead....GRRRRRRR........ Over 162, I do think we're as good as anybody, and better than most. But those stops along the way are what'll drive you batty sometimes!

I think he plays really, really well on that Hersh Hamel thing. But on Mistral? Not so sure about that, at least not for my taste. I think he had headphones on while playing.

...and?

YEAH! EXACTLY! Let me put a face to that: :rmad: :rmad:

Just stumbled across this fine piece of eve3r-so-slightly-left-of-center Spectorish pop, thought I'd share. Arranged by Al DeLory, recorded at Gold Star w/The Wrecking Crew. I love stuff like this, for some reason.

He's kind of disjointing the melody, phrase-wise, relative to the harmony. but that's it.

"Easy To Remember"

It's got Art Pepper on it. And Phil Ranelin. And George Cables. And Peter Erskine. And Stanley Clarke. And it's produced by John Koenig. And it's on Liberty. And it's a totally produced poppy-jazzy thingy. One tune is an obvious cop of "Feels So Good". The rest is ok enough in a "for what it is" kind of way. Freddie could do this in his sleep (and probably did on this one), but the somewhat active presence of Art Pepper throws this into a zone of parallel universe weirdness that I was not ready for, or may ever be ready for. Music can fuck with your mind in all kinds of ways, not all of them necessarily beneficial. Also, look at that cover photo. Put a white border around it, give it an appropriately evocative title, and it's an LT. Only...it's not.

Beguine Not Begun, eh?

Kelley got the facts right but didn't capture the essence. Ain't no livin' in a perfect world, not except every once in a while. Oh well!

Kidd to the Knicks http://www.mavsmoneyball.com/2012/7/5/3139633/breaking-mavs-cant-close-deal-with-kidd-as-he-accepts-knicks-offer He'll give you some quality minutes still, so long as you don't ask for a whole lot of them.

You think the Rangers are the best team in the AL? I know that's what the numbers say, but numbers can lie sometimes. How they lost the first game was just one of those things, as was how they lost the game today. But that game last night? Mike Adams has a guy down 0-2 and down on the ground writhing in pain and goes on to walk him and lets him steal second and then gives up the walkoff hit? You gonna lose 2 out of 3, fine. Shit happens. But if you're the "best" team in the AL, you gotta take advantage of your chances to win that one (especially w/Cleveland sweeping the Angels). And they didn't. That's some weak shit right there. I know, shit still happens, but DAMN, that's definitely a horse fallen off of. And I'm watching these games while they're steady pimpin' Yu for the All-Star team, which is ok, but dammit, win a game while you're pimpin', ok? Horse before cart, ya' know? The Tribe been better to the Rangers than they been to themself.
