The rumor mill has the Angels ready to bite on Beltre.

Agreed that it's atypical, perhaps even "dreadful" in places, but...I like to hear how different players of different ilks go about presenting what they think is a "pop" (I'll not say "commercial", because although it seems that some folks don't care about how to seel their records, does anybody ever make a record that they don't want to be bought?) project. Even if it's a total producer's project where all the player does is show up and role-play, there's still a lot of different ways to go about that. I think Blythe that Blythe does indeed "put sunshine in it", although what the "it" is that he is putting sunshine in might well be something from a place where the sun never shines, or is ever able to. All in all, stuff like this just makes me appreciate how musically involved Miles' later bands were. Pop on the outside, meaty on the inside, a salty-sweet snack that you could eat as a meal if you had to. Yum!

The entirety of Blythe's Columbia output is worthy of hearing, this being one of the better ones.

Ok, all the more better then! I don't know who Gus Levene ws/is, but he either subbed the chart (or parts of it) out to Nelson Riddle or else was astute enough to cop the whole bag at face value, in which case, good for him! But ok, Red Callender. No wonder! !

Lacking the advantage of the room sound created by the Rudy's mens' room's natural acoustics and speakers, I nevertheless gladly present to you, replete with Joe Comfort's bass lines (if it wasn't Comfort, oh well, it was still right in there): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kys-5tRDjy8 Bounce a-PLENTY!

God, talk about the worst of both worlds... Also agree with you re:Frishberg's accompaniment, although you specifically nail my heretofore unspecific "general feeling". That's a cat I've never warmed to in general, for some reason.

Me too, musically, but his three-part Cadence interview turned out to be one of the most entertaining and historically interesting oral histories I've ever read in that magazine. Plus, his playing on the Dizzy/Trane live bootlegs is pretty damn impressive. Be-bop Tatum is the only ready description that comes to mind... My question is this - will the family have to pay extra to find a coffin with a lid that will accommodate those jumbotron eyeglasses? RIP, Doctor.

I don't know how many white fans Funkadelic had back then (hell, I don't know how many fans they had then period ), and Parliament (at lest the 70s version of it...) broke big in the hood long before crossing over, but the fact of the Beatlelove remains, and the irony is indeed delicious. I mean, really, that's just lame to be so ignorant and have that much influence. Maybe they should be called Dookey U Press!

How old is that clown? I mean, that was such a "common knowledge" part of the Hendrix story as told in "real time" (aka back in the day), that only a total cranius en recti would have a problem with it. It was also repeated with George Clinton, whose love for The Beatles is repeatedly on record, and lord knows how many other times with how many other people...in East Texas where I grew up, there was a family of African-Americans kids, the three Stephenson brothers, who were only into the whole "Black Rock" scene of the time, and who, when they reached back at all, reached back to Jimmy Page, not Jimmy Reed. They were "unusual" in that regard, but they were still as real as everybody else. I think I would start referring to Duke U Press as Fake U Press, or even better, F*** U Press.

My dad bought a used '65 Mustang in 1974 w/over 100K miles on it...power, yes! Steering control...noooooooo!!!! We coulda' used some of them inmates to break that one, believe me....

Wild horses help tame wild men Carson City, Nevada (CNN) -- Just like the men training them, these horses used to be free. The animals were free to roam the land in the West, and the men were free to come and go as they please. Now they are both captive at the Northern Nevada Correctional Center. http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/12/29/wild.horses.behind.bars/index.html?hpt=C1

If he has too many more games like last night's...

Is the cover wear in the posted images built into the new CD artwork?

Me, I'd go with Penny Arcade first.

Gotta say I didn't like this that much. Greil Marcus claims that the great cover is a one minute version by Elvis on the '70s box set (one of many Elvis recordings I don't have). Marcus may be a Dylan fanatic but he's very disparaging of the later sing along versions by Dylan or The Band and especially the one on The Last Waltz. Allow me to suggest the Earl Scruggs version.
