  1. I can't explain to you why they're not having radio broadcasts, because they ARE having radio broadcasts. What they're no longer having is dedicated radio announcers, which I probably could explain. But the explanation would just make me angry. Money talks, and bullshit talks even louder. FWIW, watching a game on TV with the sound down and the radio up almost always works for me. Or did until split-second time delays started happening to a noticeable extent.
  2. Are we sure it's not targeted for an April 1 release?
  3. A conversation with Gilbert Gottfried? In character?
  4. blues-derived expressive devices "devices"...at both reductionist stupid and macro-inadequate. It's language, dammit. If it's your native tongue, it's not a "device", it's just the way you speak. "Devices" are what other people try to figure out. If you strive to become multi-lingual, you try like hell to lose the "devices", that means you're really "speaking from the heart". and don't get me started on "swing"....musics all over the worlds have their own swing. I keep looking trying to find one that doesn't and the best I can say (so far) is that some worlds ration it more tightly than others, but that's about it. I mean, I get what people like that think they're trying to say, and in 19XX it was probably a lot more obvious, especially to/for those who were saying it, but now? In 2021? The world keeps getting smaller, the neighborhoods keep changing, and the new neighbors play their radios too damn loud, just like the old ones did. so, you know, it's there.
  5. I would take "Tia Carrere" shopping with me all the time, then!
  6. Too bad Leonard Feather's not around for this! Or Stanley Crouch! I gotta ask - of what kind/brand of spirits did the clerk possibly think that "Tia Carrere" would deserve or otherwise appreciate receiving at no charge?
  7. The reality is, the post, if totally factual, is not.
  8. This is like liner notes for friendship!
  9. I thought that at first, but there seems to be a "chat" option for $2.95...I didn't want to know....
  10. https://www.cameo.com/ you need never feel insignificant again
  11. That's not what surprised me. What surprised me was that there are a LOT of "celebrities" doing that Cameo thing. At $60 (payable in 4 interest-free installments!) , Tia Carrere is affordable!
  12. I think we can all use a $60 (payable in 4 interest-free installments!) personalized message from Tia Carrere to help us stay strong until we can get through this pandemic! https://www.cameo.com/tiacarrere
  13. Theo Huxtable Teo Macero Tia Carere
  14. Friday morning wakeup and Zig are a perfect fit this week.
  15. Your memory is better than mine!?
  16. Monterey Mary Édouard Nieuport Pierre Abraham Lorillard
  17. As with many things of a personal biological nature, this is a task best left to the medical professionals.
  18. I can't remember the last time that I listened to a Chet Baker album for Chet Baker. Come to think of it, I don't know that I've ever listened to it Chet Baker album for Chet Baker. However, my memory is not what it once was, so maybe it did happen.
  19. Late Dexter played so far behind the beat that he could walk up behind it and bite it in the ass.
  20. I know, right? No more of this "job" craziness! But you gotta keep the sperm count up, so...eat a lot of eggs, maybe? I LOL at the possibility that there are daily man-made chemicals that are possibly doing this. For years, there's been all this alt-right/wacko talk about various "plots" to "feminize" the males of the free world. Maybe the plot is by hyper-Industry! Right fear, wrong target, maybe. What else is new?
  21. Yeah, I tried transcribing one of his solos, late 70s thing, a Bird blues in, in either E or B...I gave up. Those licks in that key on the tenor...it's just not natural! Unless, of course, you're a baaaaaaaaad man, like Harold Land.
  22. https://www.axios.com/falling-sperm-count-endocrine-disruption-59c8be98-bfad-4e9b-8738-985ece67a21d.html Falling sperm counts could threaten the human race ohmygodinthefuturewomenwillholdfertilemalesasbreedingsexslaves Kinda thinking the problem is too many people already, but apparently that's not a problem that will fix itself...but i think it is.
  23. "My Shining Hour" from that one was a staple of the afternoon drive-time programming of the AM Jazz station we had in the late 70s...that "Comedy Tonight" quote still rings in the ears!
