  1. Yeah, 44 Basie is "plentiful". But my interest is mostly Presz, and for me, the Everybody's record has the cream of the crop.
  2. Did you know that Erin Ellwood's mother was Gloria Henry? That makes her related to Dennis The Menace!!!! Oh btw - Erin Ellwood says to chill, that this house was an early example of her dad's work, hardly the "masterpiece" that is being bemoaned here. Still, she wishes the whole thing could have been handled a bit more elegantly. Add that one to the list...
  3. And one where Kathryn Hahn was shown to good advantage!
  4. I mean, the Mario movie was fun. Nothing wrong with fun. The whole Marvel thing, I'm not a fan of all of that, but Wandavision on Disney+ was highly entertaining. So was Loki. People are doing good work telling these type of stories. I think the "complaint" against all of it isn't that it's poor quality, it's just that it's all that "Hollywood" wants to do these days, and no money is offered for more offbeat projects. And that might well be a legit beef. Probably is.
  5. https://www.discogs.com/release/3203384-Various-Historical-Prez-Lester-Young-1940-1944 Cheap copies ($2.99), exquisite music in not-bad sound. Lester's first band after leaving Basie, Young Brothers band plus some absolutely astonishing 1944 Basie airshots with Prez absolutely all-in. Highly recommended.
  6. R.L. Goodbuoy - Please Don't Sell Me Short
  7. And without Charlie Watts!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. I mean, hey, I am very pro-union. But I am also very much in favor of taking care of your own business and stopping blatant suckage. Because ownership is lazy and will just let things suck more and more to the point that fans will demand the robots and, you know, give the fans what they want. Now, ok, you've begun to make yourself expendable. Way to go! Where is the fucking pride? Where is the god-damned discipline? Dude, where's my car?
  9. Concentrated 70s!!!
  10. Then they are bringing robo-ing on themselves.
  11. I get it, but... Have humans beings devolved to the point that they are unable to learn a real strike zone? Have they devolved to the point that they are unable to punish egregiously bad performance? If they have, then ok. Robo away. But otherwise, make those motherfuckers do their job right.
  12. The Good Sons Quartet - Hoppa Doppa Loppa!!!

  14. Audio, mental, and musical whiplash! Stay tuned to the end - Dick talks to the group and the kids sing live!!!
  15. DJ Thunderhole - Ploppin'!!! Sloppin'!!! NON-STOP BOPPIN'!!!
  16. Who actually owns Elemental Records?
  17. I'll try that sometimes, thanks!
  18. My odometer is regularly tested for accuracy. Last time I looked, the rule was "you break it, you own it"
  19. How do you do that, get the image to link to a webpage? Nifty!!!
  20. Not enough centuries have passed. And at some point, old shit just dies and the culture becomes about preserving the death.
  21. Take comfort in the likelihood that at some point in time, some other rich person of no permanentant significance will buy the now-new McMansion, tear it down, and build a brand new replica of the house that used to be there. They will be hailed as a savior of culture for a day or two and then life will go on.
