They should get their money back for this one.

Just checking...you do know that Coltrane was on that record originally, right?

Have you ever lived in a world where there were certain things (including people) that you were just not supposed to mingle with, much less swap spit, much less hooked up with, and then all of a sudden you could and then WHOAAA!!!!! ?

Yeah, between "free jazz" and "rap music" it's like white people who needed to feel comforted (or whatever) by having a "hip" form of "contemporary black music" to be down with suddenly felt abandoned, and guess what - it was the music's fault! Ok, for real -I don't like a lot - most, really - of so-called "rap" or "hip-hop" music. But there is a segment of it, all of it "underground" that is vital, creative, and interesting to me as music. As far as that musical value goes, different strokes and all that, but the notion that the whole "hip-hop movement" is not a deep, resonant cultural fact with many voices and perspectives not (best) expressed anywhere else is nothing more than a statement of sheer ignorance about what has been going on in the world for the last 30 years. It's more than "rap records". It's poetry, literature, music (and perspectives on musics), fashion, art, politics, damn near everything that defines the word "culture". I expect most people (including myself) to not be wholly aware of that which they are not an immediate part. But damned if I can cut anybody (including myself) for enough slack to be willfully and totally ignorant of a fundamental part of today's America (and world, for that matter). Put another way, how does anybody expect a post-apartheid America to function from and with the same paradigm as did the pre-apartheid America? That's eitehr wishful thinking or the most ignorant of ignorances. Or both.

Not only do you not know what it is, you don't even know that there's something been happening here, do you, Mr. Jones? http://www.youtube.c...feature=related Yeah Jim, Well it's not all dumb 2/4 shit but it's close - but where is Max, Lester, Bird and Warne Marsh? C'mon man, you're bullshitting! Q They're all dead, and the world that created them is more than half-past dead. And yet life goes on. Not only do you not know what it is, you don't even know that there's something been happening here, do you, Mr. Jones? http://www.youtube.c...feature=related Sorry - Throwing out a cheap shot at someone & posting a You Tube link as a supposed backup to it doesn't cut it for me. I'll remember that the next time I have something to say directly to you.

John Abercrombie, iirc.

It's a locked groove for breaking in your new cartridge.

Hey, we ain't playin' the Pyramid here. Pictures, please!

Half a continent? Half the planet, actually! Used to be half a planet, but you know, with the world shrinking and all.... :w :w

# 4. Produced by Don Heckman, of all people! And imo, it had by far and away the most interesting arrangements and concepts of the first group of DCT-fronted albums.

You Temptacious Son-of-a-Bitch!!! Dammit Kenny, no fair putting up all those pictures of that great-looking food that's a half-continent away!!!!

Illusion-Free No sense in pretending that it's not that kind of world or hoping that it will stop being that kind of world any time soon. All the more reason to start getting "the message" into that kind of format. Hardwire That Bitch What better way to kill the beast than from within, and what better way to keep the message alive than getting it to a new generation in ways that they will intuitively grasp? Outliers Exempt, But To What End? Of course, there's always going to be the niche market of people who refuse to "move along", and there will always be a market in giving those people that in which they take comfort, but that niche will never again regain it dominance, nor should expectations that they will be encouraged, entertained, or otherwise considered. The only thing that should be expected is that they will slowly and inevitably attrit. Adapt or Die Like it or not, that's pretty much how it goes. Nobody asks me what I think before shit changes, if you know what I mean.

O.....k..... Let's get this on the table now, and leave it there for posterity: There is only one groove on a LP side. It runs from the beginning of the side all the way through to the label area. A truly locked groove would result in the stylus having to be manually moved to the next track. There have been such records made, but not for general consumption. The reason your stylus "bumps" back when it hits the label is physics, not any kind of a "locked" groove. Set your tracking force light enough, and that bad boy will jump right on up there and raise all kinds of holy hell. Aside from possible damage to the vinyl from raising the temperature and softening the vinyl through massively repetitive play, the only difference between playing an LP side over and over and letting it stay in that so-called "locked groove" (equally inaccurately known as the "runoff groove") is that when you leave it be, you keep letting your stylus bump up against and into the label area, which is a mixture of paper, ink, glue, and subatomic particles that have been known to cause humans to grow tails out of their noses. I don't see how that's good for either you or your stylus, never mind your cartridge.
