Well....ok. But the original post specified that the question was not about vault reissues. So, I guess you're not related to Jelly Bean?

Will do.

Tony Parker reminds me of a gay pimp pretending to be straight. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

That's got two too many wheels.

Thanks!

I've always enjoyed Green's notes. Kinda goofy at times, sure, but never uniformed, and not without insight/empathy to the jazz-making process.

That, my Albuquerquian friend, is exactly what I'm talking about. Assuming that Blake was the instigating force behind these remixes, I'm wondering how involved in the actual remixing process he was. Did select the DJs, he suggest a general direction/vibe to them, did he work with them along the way, did he send them back if he wanted changes made to the first results, did he etc.? I must admit, this whole remix thing is not without interest to me. Certainly not a substitute for live music-making, but taking pre-existing "raw materials" and using them for your own creative ends ain't exactly something new...

THIS is why they call me "Coach Pop"!

Wow.

Never have liked Tony Parker, never will. Ever. Duncan, otoh, I dig. Very much in fact. The guy's a trip, what with his constant mind games. I dig athletes who are constantly mental. Seriously. But he does have a turtlehead. No way around that. Still, he's on my team anytime.

If Quartet Out ever tours Lithuania, this cat's driving the van.

Duncan is a great player and teammate, and I'd have him on any team of mine w/o a moment's hesitation, but the man has a turtlehead. It's Tony Parker whose ass I would like to stick a broomstick up. Motherfukkin' snideass little bitch.

Everything vibrates. Everything. The senses are nothing but receptors and processors of vibrations.

I found the original liner notes to O'Neal's Porch to be delusion, perhaps even borderline psychotic. Great side, though.

My gut tells me that the Mavs have actually got a good chance tonight, especially if Jet feels the need to pay penance to his teammates. Game 6 was a display of the "old Mavericks" limpdickness. Other team isn't hitting? NO PROBLEM - we'll not hit either! Avery's been working on that bullshit all year, sometimes with better results than others. Tonight's the night to see if anybody's really learned anything this year. They can win. Whether they will or not...

Ok, I'm not talking about "vault remixes", I'm talking about the remixes that get put out on a contemporaneous release. I'm wondering who decides that a remix can/will be done, and who decides who's going to do it. Is it entirely a label/producer decision, or is the artist involved at some/any stage? I'm sure it varies from case to case, but I'm talking about what "the norm" is. Seems to me that there's some creative work going on in this field, as well as a lot of bullshit. But the announcement of the upcoming Ellington Mosaic got me to thinking that Ellington was maybe the/one of the original remixers, often recording the same song in different versions for different labels in a relatively short time frame. Yeah, in a lot of ways (some of them pretty fundamental) it's not the same. But then again, in a lot of ways (some of them equally fundamental), it's not all that different. It's still a matter of taking the raw materials of a song and making the same different, which in turn highlights that the different is still the same. Anyway, that's not really the point. I'd just like to know the "usual process" that goes on for a song to be released in several different versions at the same time. It's something that interests me at this juncture. As always, thanks in advance!

"Roundabout"? (wait a second... you weren't referring to the YES tune, right? ) Actually....yes, I was.

Ok, I'm in.

We've had many a 3-way w/the Ike Quebec 45 set, but the Cecil set got the freezeout. LTB's an open-minded woman, but you can't take that for granted. Respect must be paid. It's deserved.
