Using the drop-down search from the boards upper right menu bar, I searched by "bill evans" and got "Search results limited to first 1000": http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...lite=bill+evans Go figure.

Please follow precedent and create a thread specifically for that purpose.

I dunno man, there's something pathetic about a proven "needler" resorting to whining about being needled. And no matter how you try to spin it, that's what this is coming across as. Kinda unbecoming and embarassing and all that, and definitely a violation of the Tuff Guy Code Of Honor. Keep it in the ring or get out the frame, ya' know what I'm sayin'?

Now that's irony! :g :g :g :g :g

Just had a listen, and was taken by how g.d pleasant the entire affair was. It's the type of album that would have been a blast to hear in the '70s. As it is, it's still "fun", but hardly...necessary. Nevertheless, it's a good, fun listen, if that's all you're looking for. Still, if you wanna look at it like the obsession with the Plugged Nickel '60s is now being replaced with an obsession over the Electric/Eclectic '70s, then hey, in some parallel universe with streets coated with hot tar and cold molasses, then hey - things are moving ahead!

That's because he doesn't write in English. I call it faux literature. Anyway, I've had my run-ins as well. I guess we've made our truce too, but there's a basic dishonesty in much of what he posts. I am willing to eat my words here if I am proven or persuaded to admit wrong on that point. For example, if memory serves, I believe he is in his late 30s to early 40s, but he likes to come across as someone older. He likes to conflate name dropping with erudition. No, I do not support banning him at all. We've got to have the resident know-it-all asshole, I guess. I think he's OK. I don't care about his real age. I think he's the same age as all of us - he's learning stuff here (really), which makes us all pupils, so to speak. MG Well, it's part of the dishonesty. Now again, I'll eat my words if proven wrong, but he'll often write things such as: has been on this trip since the 8-26-71 Gaelic Park gig in the Bronx (i was little too young to hit the Fillmore shows before then) which suggests that he was already old enough (say 16 or so) to appreciate such a concert. Yet he was likely 4 or 5 years old in 1971. Now again: I'll be the first to apologize to Clem if I am proven wrong on this hypothesis, but if I am correct then this serves as a typical of example of his dishonesty while posting (he might be an honest guy in real life--who knows.) I hate to go into such detail about someone, but you guys are forcing my hand. Anyway, I can coexist with Clem on the board. I hope I'm wrong about the guy--really. "clem" is not a "real person". He's a persona created especially for this forum by a real person, and as such there is much "creative license" taken with much of what he says. You may or may not dig that kind of "creativity" in a forum such as this (I do, but hey, different strokes, ok?), but there's no true dishonesty at play. Again, that type of "layering" may or may not be to yours or anybody's liking, but it is what it is. Alexander, otoh, is somebody - a real person - who has shown little compunction (and at times even less remorse) about saying some truly blunt, crude, and offensive-in-the-eye-of-the-recipient things about people's religious & political beliefs & then offering facile apologies. I've defended him on occasion, feeling that he's just one of those guys who just doesn't always think before speaking, but seeing how spastic he's getting about clem's highly calculated shootdowns, I now think that he's a mentally deficient semi-human who's a threat to all with whom he comes into contact, and that he should be publically eviscerated in front of his family, who should then be forced to wash their faces in his blood and then consume his raw flesh while being sodomized by a team of Clydesdales. Messrs Swift, Berger, & Stern would all appreciate the suggestion, no doubt.

Sometimes you just gotta buy a new mouse.

I like them machines.

Gotta disagree, and on several levels, not the least of which is the "everybody I know knows where the U.S. is on a map, so I don't know how relaible the data really is" thing. Yeah, all you know is all there is. Right. That's the problem right there... My daughter is 17, and her and her freinds (most of 'em anyway...) enjoy varying level of teen-girl "ditziness" (not an insult btw, it's a wonderful part of life that should be enjoyed while it can, just not as a "lifestyle", if you get my drift) can spank this "bimbo" up one side of the street and down the other when it comes to common sense and such. So excuse me if I do think that it is pretty bad. And she's not hot. Lauer & Coury ain't exactly out in front of the parade either. She mentioned wanting to pursue a career in graphic design & kept waiting for one of them to ask her if she planned on designing catchier looking maps to stimualte interest in geography. Logical follow-up, right? But no.....

Well, I mean, yeah. Joni's not exactly "easy listening". I gather that some here are not "fans", and I am not a consistent one. But good god, the woman's definitely got guts and a vision, and a fair amount of her work is what I would consider "noteworthy" as far as successfully communicating both of those things. "Chilling out" is not what she's about, not at all. So for a "fan" to sorta make that insinuation is really an insult to this particular artist, I think.

"Good girl! Good girl you!" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20473692/ Watch the video....

I was interviewed by Channel 7 in 1974, but it weren't about no spider web.

You must not be listening very closely.

So it seems.

OTOH - the kind of waaaay open trading found on Dime et. al. was bound to lead to this kind of totally unethical grey-market release (and a buttload more like it). Maybe it was inevitable, but there was a reason that some of us were kinda like "SSSSSHHHHH!!!!!" about everything coming out for such open, public trading. The kind of scum that run Lonehill are counting on X% of people not knowing that, unlike how it used to be back in the day of "useful" grey-market labels like Moon, these type tapes are no longer in any way "esoterica". Once something's gone up on Dime, people grab it, and the challenge is just to find somebody who's gotten it and is willing to share or trade. Not as easy as just placing an order online, but a helluva lot less suckerific, that's for sure.

Time for an update. Bembe Segue has been turning up in all sorts of interesting places on various broken beat releases. Fromer her MySpace page http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...iendid=26688348 I definitely recommend "afrospace" & "cosmic spaces", but it's all good. Not a "great singer" per se, but one who understands what's going on with what she's doing better than many "better" singers might well be, especially in terms of phrasing. She seems to be the right voice at the right place in the right time, and her name on a project definitely gets my attention these days.

Are you sure you're not living somewhere else & your mail is just trying to get you to come there before somebody gets hurt?

Why buy obviously ill-gotten gains when there's a forum like this full of friendly people willing to provide the exact same material with no money changing hands?

You know, I just had this thought and would very appreciate some feedback from the drummers here. It seems to me that Max made a rather unique contribution to the drumset vocabulary in terms of volume in that he pretty much kept the standard bebop tuning of the kit, the goal of which to my ears was to facilitate and accentuate the punch of the accents & not in any real way geared toward volume per se, and found a way to take that tuning and play it loud. Other drummers of Max's approximate generation - notably Blakey & Philly Joe - played loud, but their tuning was slightly more open in timbre, it seems to me. And of course, later generations got louder-by-design harware and tuned accordingly. But Max's tuning/timbre remained tight, yet he pulled so much sound & volume out of it, more than anybody else that I can think of. And in a sense that reflectedd the engery of his music - tightly loud, loudly tight, however you wanna think about it. Drummers, what y'all say?

I wonder, is this the record labels' new pricing strategy for stuff of limited/historical interest? Gotta figure in the costs of the deluxe packaging as well.

Dude, it was the 70s. We all looked like that then, thanks to the...you know...
