Diaries give you diaryah. No thanks. I've been on the run all my life, or so it seems. Enough is enough. Time to sit down and put it all together, I say.

A diary? Geez, if I wanted to remember stuff I'd just stop the booze and pills.

The mean kid in me is more than a little delighted to see the industry that forced digital music down our throats with such a lustful glee now not having a clue how to manage it. Payback's a bitch, no?

Placemats?

I just woke up from a bad dream, and now THIS!

D'oh! hah! it's catesta checking whether he's not overdoing it in daily stats in his quest to overtake the head honcho of the site...! Knew it! Oh. Really? Tic-tac-toe.

COOL!

Again, for the future, how about "I Dreamed I Was On The Babe Thread In My Maidenform Bra"?

Maybe I wasn't in the mood when I heard it, but I thought that Murray was hyper on this one, even by his standards. Guess I should give it another listen.

WTF is Sam doing with a lawnmower? Oh, that's not Sam, that's the Cat. Anybody who gets THAT is probably already here!

Oh, I'm sure he's got a few more levels at his disposal.

Yeah, Dizzy always gave her credit for keeping him in line and making sure that the B got TC of. No way it could have been easy for her, but she did it. R.I.P., and much thanks.

Show business at it's finest. If you have to ask...

Move over Buddy, Paul's doing it HIS way! http://www.noisetank.com/integrity

Phil's gone. It's a big man's game these days. Shaq and a decent supporting cast minus Kobe stands a better chance than Kobe and a decent supporting cast minus Shaq. The ideal would be for both of them to take a little more responsibility as TEAM players, be that getting in better shape and honing some OTHER skills or be that being less concerned with whose team it is, but since that ain't gonna happen, I'd have to say stick w/Shaq, at least as things stand right now. Just my opinion, and I'm glad it ain't my problem.

OOOOOOHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd LOVE to hear Helen Merrill sing "The Kids Are Alright"!!!!!!!

I don't know, but my sources are on the case!

Buddy Rich & Bud Shank/Chet Baker were Pacific Jazz & World Pacific respectively, albeit from the days when Liberty owned both them and Blue Note. But I kinda don't dig how anything jazz owned by EMI is now considered "Blue Note". That's just wrong. Or even rong. The "w" is silent, so it doesn't really matter. But the name of the label does, and Blue Note iwas not Roulette, Pacufuc Jazz, World Pacific, or even Capitol. Still, I'm kinda surprised they didn't include Shank's "Michelle". That was actually a bit of a "hit" as I understand it.

She sessy! Like Momma!

And really, the whole post, say, 1965 or so big band thing bears mentioning, because it was sort of a mini-revival of the whole thing, and simultaneously spurred on and was spurred on by the just-beginning-to-get-its-legs jazz education movement, which in turn has a a profound effect on so much (too much, if you ask me) of the jazz of the last 25 years (and every bit as much on the general public's perception of jazz as an esoteric, dry, "musician's" music instead of a populist art of immediate and general significance as the avant-garde supposedly has had). There is a connection. But maybe you can assign a paper on that to the smartass in your class who keeps asking questions that they already know the answer to just to see if you know them.

Yo, Ghost - if you don't already know it, be sure to at least have a look at Gene Lees' essay Pavillion In The Rain. It's in his Singers and the Song, or whatever that book is called. Trust me. (and is that Miller AAF band interesting or what? )

Congratulations! Will Glenn Miller be covered in both classes, just one, or neither?
