  1. You might get a kick out of Morning Joe. Scarborough, Mike Barnacle, and Jonathan Lemire have this running Red Sox commentary/schtick that they will interject at damn near any point, much to Mika's "chagrin". At times, it gets rolling and has me LOL-ing at too early in the AM to be healthy.
  2. I like the Bud parts. The Oscar parts make me cringwince, and there's enough of them that I can't fully relax and enjoy the Bud parts.
  3. I always thought it looked like Dodo Greene. Oh, btw, women of color also dye their hair and/or use different color wigs, it's not just a white thing. and believe it or not, people of color can have naturally red hair. Genetics is funny that way.
  4. So, having already read the book, to what use would I put this? Bedtime stories? Any reasonable suggestion welcome.
  5. Claudius Galen Galen Jeter Dee Barton
  6. They mean "state" as in mental condition. Those are the ones you stop before they even get started.
  7. Willie Hutch Foxy Brown Billy De Wolfe
  8. I like the ones that have real names, the ones that are like, oh wow, hey, person, you know when you dropped your land line and thought it all went away? Apparently not!
  9. Fwiw, that is an African-American woman on the cover.
  10. Define "very good reason", please. I mean, if only 100 or so copies were pressed, that's a very good reason.
  11. Hello, Japan? This is bullshit calling, you will accept the charges.

    Redbooks have begun to fail more than they used to. Could be the player, but A-B of the two discs produces consistent out comes for each. Perfectly willing for their to be a sconce answer for this one, but it happens more than it should, which imo is never. A bad disc should prove to be a bad disc, period, not the source material for a second, working disc.

    So really, all I should be willing to pay for on most things is a booklet, a back panel insert, and a DL code for a lossless file. Jewel cases, I got, and CDrs I can burn. Quality control....what a 20th Century concept!!!!!!!
  14. Yes, lots of possibilities on that Caiman label...the Discogs listing also has no small number of electro/reggaetron stuff, which to me seems to indicate that it was very much a "community" label with product for all ages (and in between!). The impression I have gotten is that the only time the Cuban/Cuban-American coummunity stops living with their musics is when they did, and even then, conclusive proof has yet to be offered.

    pet peeve that i have to do it to begin with. i mean, if there's not a guarantee of performance from the purchased product, they should include a blank with every purchase, kinda like how when you used to buy an American car it would come with this warranty that you could start using, like, in a month or two (or sooner), no questions asked from a reputable dealer, you just pull in and they're all "yep" and that's that. Only now there's no dealerships left for CDs and labels for damn sure aren't going to listen to you complain, Mosaic will, but they've got, like, what, six weeks left to live, tragic case, i saw a poster for a fundraising up at the Dairy Queen, they even charging admission to the petting zoo and the bounce house, they are trying HARD to raise that money.

    Oh hell yeah, THAT one. Freaking iTunes mindfuck, totally evil, and not limited to just music, it affects some corporate naming conventions as well. Yakub at work again, Eve ate the apple, Yakub made it for her.
  17. yeah, because pronouncing invisible letters is one more way that attempts are made to create mental confusion to enable empirical domination aspirations. Secret codes and shit, another blow to the head by Yakub. Tricky bastard, that one.
  18. yeah, shot. "Jab" is a boxing term, or a description of an insult. transoceanic versions of the same language do indeed travel some odd paths!

    my pet peeve is when the real cd don't play right but a burned copy of the same disc does. seems like science should do something about fixing that.
  20. Quite a mixed variety of offerings...
  21. what is this label, is there more on it? where did you find this and is it someplace i too can go to find things?
  22. I cringe when I hear the word "jab" used to refer to a shot. And then I wince, too. But it's just such a violational mental image, like it's an act of impersonal hostility that they're giving you a shot to try and save your live. I've met nothing but warm, happy, personable people in this process and never felt like I was being "jabbed". Who's that nurse from that movie, Nurse Ratchet? SHE would be a jabber. But she ain't been around here for any of this.
  23. I forget if the tiger is Calvin or Hobbs, but the tiger, FTW.
