Nasty Gal . One chart.

Jim - I thought that John Jenkins played on the Clifford Big Band Mapleshade, not Clarence Sharpe. I don't have the CD, so I may be wrong. Probably one for me to pick up, whichever altoist is on it, as I've heard good things about it. Just checked, and you are indeed correct. My bad. And yeah, it's good. Better, I think, than the Milestone(?) side.

When her shit was right, it was tuff. When it wasn't it was pretty flimsy. Of her 3 "main" albums, I thnk the most consistent is her first: Bay Area out the ass! And if "Anti Love Song" don't make you wanna stick your johnson somewhere, then, hey... Check the AMG sound clip. But all those albums have plenty of good/great moments, and they make a nice trilogy.

And guess what? IT'S NOT EVEN FULLY BACKWARDS COMPATABLE!!! We need to get my son Charlie (board name dional, although I call him Pete, in memory of the late Johnnie Taylor) in on this. The kid's a frakin' encyclopedia of all things gaming, past, present, & future. He has a preorder, was #6(?) on an EB list. But Sony's behind on production, so the very first shipment is about 50%(?) short of promised. The EB has to cut off at #4 for this launch release, but the store has been guaranteed him one from the second shipment, which is supposed to be before Christmas. We'll see. You know what's wack? Sony's taking a bath on this system. Supposedly the PS2 didn't turn a profit until fairly recently. They sell them at a big loss (the DVD player in the PS3 is a $300 standalone item by itself). The money comes from software, controllers, memory cards, etc. So says Charlie/dional/Pete, and I'm sure he'll correct my factual errors if I've made any. He's good about that. BTW - anybody get G4 on their cable? If you got an even halfway serious intrest in gaming, that station appears to be the shit.

Two shows actually. The T.A.M.I. Show & The T.A.M.I. Show The Big T.N.T. Show T.A.M.I. Set For DVD!!!

To those of us coming of jazz-age in the early-mid 70s, those Prestige covers are the originals! It's the OJCs that were new! !

You know I love you, bro, but if you got zero Bird in your collection, that thumb would be more properly placed up your ass. You do know I love you, don't cha?

Mary Worth Hadda Brooks Little Milton

No shit. That's how the Democrats took back Congress - by relentlessly playing the Killer Asteroid card!

Ever stop to think that maybe the chicks find the costumes as over the top as the dudes probably do? Show-bidness baby.

A spirited defense that has piqued my interest in the book. No guarantee that I'll like it, but the man has stated his case most clearly.

Sportin' a Cheryl Burke ain't nothin' to sneer at... Seriously, I've played for dancers all my professional life, and I've seen magic happen with couples on the dance floor. Not as often as I've seen tragedy, but hey... Point is, I'd like to be able to get some of that kind of magic with my wife while we're still able. I've only danced with her 3-4 time my entire life. That never used to bug me, but now it does.

The Larks The Capitols Cool Jerk

I'm still not down w/the figure skating like LTB is (except during the Olympics, when it's just....there), but the notion of being able to bring to the vertical and public the magic of what we experience in the horizontal - roughly speaking - and private is really beginning to appeal to me. I've never been too graceful on my feet, and dammit, I'm sick of that. This notion that simple grace and joy are for "other types of people" (you know, the stoopid kind who don't know any better) is one which I reject with increasing forcefulness every day. That's a self-fulfilling prophecy of doom and gloom if ever there was one. Fuck that. I'm alive, in love, and not at all ready to go sit in a corner to spectate for the rest of my life. Why shouldn't I dance - and dance well - with the woman I love? Plus, she gets a glow about her when she sees really good dancing. I can tell that she'd like to experience it herself, and hell, she's done so much for me over the years that I'd like to be able to give that to her while we can both still walk erect and/or without assistance. The time when we won't be able to is probably nearer than it is farther, so.... Besides, if freakin' Jerry Springer can learn to be an at least acceptable "social dancer", then I damn sure can.

In my world, that's a fantasy...

Not sure about the date, but if I'm correct, you're leaving out a later Barron date, Motivation. That shit is sick. Will disagree about Hot Line. The repetition is what makes it for me, for it gives Andrew Cyrille the power, and the power is neither wasted nor abused.

Her Poor Dog Poor Pitiful Me A Poor Excuse For A Man

Nice! I've never seen that one in the middle. Now if you can find the late-60's gatefold PJ "Jazz Milestones" version, that would be extra sweet!

Don't you mean "pie eye"?

Found the LP back in the '70s, got hooked immediately & lastingly. The CD is even mo' better.

Yeah, I watched Dancing With The Stars. Didn't follow all the hoopla, but watched the show (LTB likes watching dancing, and I like spending time with her now more than ever) and enjoyed it. Sue me. We are going to take dancing lessons at some point in our life. Anyway, Emmitt was an inspiration, as was, believe it or not, Jerry Springer. Even if Mario was the best dancer (and he was).

Nobody's heard Living Time?

4 albums for Discovery featuring the "Orchestra Of The '80s".
