  2. Do you have this one?

  4. Awwwww...love it! Congratulations!
  5. The AZ thing is having a bumpy road, eh?
  6. It was a spinoff from the George Benson Cookbook band.
  7. Order placed on Friday, arrived on Monday via USPS Priority Mail. Pretty damn good!
  8. The Organissimo Blindfold Test is nothing if not a mix tape.
  9. Cat Power Miss Kitty The Mole People
  10. https://rec.music.makers.percussion.narkive.com/NCVphDRT/max-roach-and-fab-5-freddie I've got some bootleg footage of it stored somewhere up in here. But it's a real thing, guaranteed.
  11. Do you remember when Max played for the break dancers?
  12. Nonesuch seems to be pimping the piece with Upshaw & Kalish (I get it), but for my money, the more interesting piece is Taxidermy, a piece for the percussion ensemble.
  13. Cindy Cashdollar Milburn Pennybags Mr. Drysdale
  14. No, kindness towards toxicity should not be expected.
  15. When I saw this band live, Miles was heavy on the keyboards when not up front on trumpet, sometimes playing trumpet with one hand, keys with the other, like I think he's doing here. Very much conducting/directing the band and the color, totally knew what he wanted and how to get it.
  16. You think it will just be Hemingway? You think it will just be literature?
  17. That JJ set pays dividends with repeated playings..JJ put a lot of thought into his settings that is not always immediately obvious. Voice of experience on that one speaking here... So, if somebody is on the fence who is NOT downsizing, hey, carpe diem, and let your kids worry about cleaning it all up. Hell, you did it for them often enough, right?
  18. Ted Hearne - The Source http://www.tedhearne.com/project-details/2015/10/9/the-source The Source is a modern-day oratorio, and a patchwork of songs based on American primary-source texts. The subject is Chelsea Manning, the US Army Private who infamously leaked hundreds of thousands of classified military documents to WikiLeaks in 2010. The text, culled and arranged by librettist Mark Doten, sets Manning's words and sections of the classified material known as the Iraq War Logs and the Afghan War Diary. The music, like the text, draws from diverse sources. Auto-tuned recitatives, neo soul ballads, icy string trios and moments of cracked-out musical theater are peppered with (and sometimes structured around) samples that bridge sonic worlds. That's putting it mildly..."discombobulating" would be putting it mildly. I can honestly say that the first listen upset me in a way I do not usually get upset, especially by music. Disturbing music, disturbing in some pretty fundamental ways, ways that create involuntary reactions of...being disturbed. Of course I'm going to listen again. But this time...once through means never again hearing it for the first time. So now I can start trying to have some "intellectual" reactions. Maybe? Hopefully? And yeah, Ted Hearne. He's on my list now, names to start following unless/until there's a sustained set of reasons to suck.
  19. Not if current state is any indication?
  20. Buddy Holly Peggy Sue Maria Elena
  21. I'm ok where I am...it's what lies ahead if I don't start becoming more active that is kinda creeping me out.
