Nah, junkies are always neat until you have to deal with them. Stay as sweet as you are, I say.

How 'bout those roots, eh?

MM does indeed V! Significantly!

Arica Delphi!

I shudder to think what a fire in the black-box theater would be called...

I'm not sure that the portrayal of a young woman in the throes of depression is "sexual", but she is beautiful and that is a haunting performance. OTOH, sex and Jesus have always gone together in the America South like Jack & Coke (both kinds...).

In a good way!

I take this to mean that extreme heroin use is in evidence in the grooves? Does this mean that everyone was wasted? Or is it simply a reference to the prevalence of heroin use among the players? Is the playing sloppy because of heroin use? I'd really like to know what you mean by "most heroin records". Not sloppy, just....loaded. The whole thing feels like junkie to me, just the energy level, the playing, everything. There's a "dullness" there, everywhere, that bespeaks of guys not worrying about the high taking precedence over the music. Always a risk with getting high on anything, really, but smack? From what I've seen, you gotta be really focused to ride that high and handle the music equally. It's a really fine line to walk, let me put it that way. Getting high to block out the distractions and getting high just for the sake of the high...you gotta be really careful how you roll on that one, and some days will be better than others, especially as time goes by. Note that "heroin" doesn't necessarily indicate a "bad" record", as there are some really good records that have that same heroin/junkie vibe (Miles' Dig session springs immediately to mind). But this is not on that level, not even remotely, and although this Dexter thing is not a bad record per se, I think it's probably the last, or among the last, "official" Dexter records that anybody "needs" to have.

That's one of the most heroin records I've ever heard. Seriously.

I thinkin' that if the cat is such a gangsta, a page from The Sopranos should be taken and the cat named Big Pussy.

Basie, Shreveport, La, one Sunday in Dec. 1970, possibly the 13th. Lockjaw was on the band then, and was featured heavily all night. I didn't know then who he was or what I was hearing. Definitely fodder for "if you had a time machine..." thread, that one is.

You want to name your cat after Monday Michiru's son? Cool!

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/salvific On more than one occasion, I have found the musics of James Brown & Sonny Rollins to have a power that extends beyond that of the merely restorative into the realm of the salvific. Indeed, such be the mojo therein.

don't want to speak too soon or anything, but...upgraded my Java today and haven't had this issue since...does that seem like plausible cause/effect thing?

You mean to tell me that organized crime is not a form of capitalism?
