Oh $hit. I wa$ afraid you'd $ay that.

Oh yeah, Sarah! It's kinda cruel, I suppose, but I think Floyd got hipper (as a character) with every stroke he had.

Mine shipped yesterday.

Inspired by this thread, I finally sucked it up and ordered the Sharon Jones & the Dap-Tones CD last night, If this stuff is as good as I keep hearing it is...

Juanita worked at the diner. I thought that Juanita was the operator. No?

Wasn't there a Vinyl Freak column about this one once? I've got a friend who has a dub of a dub of a dub of a dun of this, and the parody of Ornette is something different than the rest of the album, which is pretty funny in its own way, especially hte narration. Whoever it is parodying Ornette is FEELING it! Speaking of Argo "jazz comedy" albums, anybody ever heard the thing by Professor Paradiddle?

You and Barry Gordy...

Oh Dude, that shit was wack! http://www.planettribes.com/allyourbase/index.shtml

I dunno, man, Denton in the 70s was not a place for amateurs, if you know what I mean...

I used to have a bong that looked like that...

And do you?

Pigmeat recorded for Blue Note, you know.

I had a buddy record us live on a mini-disc. He then edited that recording into a Moms Mabley album he had. Moms was on the same label as Pigmeat. Q.E.D.

Bumblewit? BUMBLEWIT? My God, it's Moe for the new millenium! NO MORE CALLS, PLEASE!

You can't just make "a few" recommendations for a buy at Dusty Groove. You really do need to browse the site, and in all categories. If I ever decide to plunge headfirst into Brazilian music, they'll end up with ALL my money (the BASTARDS!), as they will when I inevitably take the plunge into the whole "neo-soul" trip. But as it is now, I'll stick to looking at the jazz LPs and "Sale CDs" once or twice a month. That's more than enough for me. But tell you what - I've had my eye on that Ted Curson Canadian Concert thing for a while, especially since they now have it on LP for less than the CD. Why don't one of you guys buy it and let me know how it is, ok?

Everything good can be traced to Pigmeat Markham if you try hard enough!

No shit. Somebody asked why Norah's name was "Jones" since her dad's name was Shankar, and I posted (as "guest", but I'm not THE "guest") that "Elvin was her other father. The late 70s/early 80s were pretty wild times". Wellsireebob - THAT one didn't even last 24 hours. Deleted and scolded all in one fell swoop. Corporate, with a capital "K".... The only reason I even look is because, yes, I find DEEP pretty funny when he's not going all the way over the top, and he still gives out w/some good stories, like the e-mail from Bill Crow talking about Gus Johnson. Too bad he didn't do more of that here.

He's Barry Silverlight now, isn't he? Wasn't he?

Don't think so. Not sure if the hose was for sanitary purposes, or if some models came with that so you could hold it in front of you like a regular keyboard (perfect for the anal types who can't FUNCTION unless everything is "just so"), or if you could use it to get a Vocoder-like effect, not unlike what a harmonica player does by varying the size and shape of his/her oral cavity. I just don't know. I know a local cat who plays accordion AND melodica (in addition to regular keyboards/piano) in this wacked out Brazillian band he has, and I think the instruments make for an appealing and appropriate texture. "Peasant Cool", I guess you could call it. But this cat could play Tinker Toys and make'em sound good, so I guess that proves nothing.

Yeah, kids keep you up to date whether you want to be or not, at least to a degree you'd probably not be otherwise. Like so many things, it's a blessing and a curse. Mostly both. I'd have missed out on the whole "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" thing if not for my kids, and THAT was some funny shit!

I...don't know what you mean, Chuck...

Jack DeJohnette plays a mean melodica.

Just browse and add as you go. You can cull at checkout. Yeah, right...

And where's the other 5 seconds of #20?

So that's Murray instead of Adams, eh? Well Ok, Murray should always play so controlled and focused! But you say there's two tenors? Didn't pick up on that while folding the laundry yesterday. Serves me right. There's a few things in this life I can identify immediately, not many, but a few, and among them are Eddie Harris' tenor sound and Rudy Van Gelder's piano sound. There's nothing in the world remotely like either!
