Is there a possible connection to this music and the music on Wayne's "rejected" Blue Note session?

Pretty much...one more outburst with suspicion posing as fact will shut this thread down. We can then move it all to a Florida beach, either that or try again with a new thread, the No Politics OR Unprovable Paranoid Assertions Version.

Right now, I'm burrowing into this one for their 8 seasons of Ozzie & Harriet https://www.rokuguide.com/channels/50s-television Don't expect any type of quality curation, it's just whatever shows have survived in whatever form they exist, but good lord, the Aunt Jemima commericals, where they exist, are worth it by themselves. And if you like the radio version of The Whistler (and I very much do), here's a TV version: https://www.rokuguide.com/channels/the-whistler And oh by the way - Martin Kane! https://www.rokuguide.com/channels/martin-kane-private-eye There's buttloads of these type stations, TV shows AND moviesnone at all "curated", but all free, so...you can get as lost as you want to for as long as you want to.

"Vicket"?

Hell yeah it's Lee Dorsey!

Stomach flu? You've never had that? Lucky man... and no, it's not "influenza" proper. but that's what it's called in so much of the common discourse, and the common discourse is what we're looking at. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/viral-gastroenteritis/symptoms-causes/syc-20378847

Tracked down a "reasonably priced" used CD copy of the Shabaka Hutchins album, not exactly abundant, glad I found one.

My favorite Roku channels are the ones that are always free and front-load the commercials. Talk about drifting away...

ok, that's relevant information for me. thanks for the heads up!

that Shabaka Hutchings cut is STRONG! Shakira doesn't surprise me at all in terms of quality, but I did not recognize the language as Spanish, didn't think to. Sounded like some Bollywood thing to me, musically, so I guess I let my ears go that way rather than what was actually there. You'd think I'd have learned better than that by now...

I would not ask my financial advisor why toilet paper was disappearing. He doesn't deal in toilet paper. If I was going to ask anybody, it would we be my grocer or my Target manager or somebody like that. Somebody who actually deals with the product. But the answer is obvious to me - people are mostly stupid to one degree or another. They hear that Covid-19 is "just like the flu" and go thinking that everybody's going to be shitting their pants all day every day for a week and buy up all the TP so if it happens to them, they'll be ready. They also hear that it's not going to be that big of a deal, but, you know, shitting your pants, don't want to take any chances. Besides, TP is always gonna be good, right? And of course, none of that is remotely true (except for the part about toilet paper always being good). But hey.

I see your image now.

There were "stereo needles" too, back when the needle was all you ever replaced (most of us, anyway). But you got those by specifying, not by default, not until, maybe?, the later 1960s?

Rooney or Roney? Either way, that sucks.

That's a discussion best had with your financial advisor?

Scorcese might be another thing I'm starting to get tired of?

Were you linking them from a URL or as an attachment from the board server?

Tina's arc might be declining...what else are they going to do, what now? Make a movie?

No-lip is TOTALLY OG as far as LPs go. They only got added for people who stacked them on changers. Don't ask me why they didn't do it for 78s earlier. probably because LPs were at some point considered "fancy" or an "investment" to be "protected". Maybe?

Yeah, I think the key there is that they're talking about being playable on both kinds of equipment, not the sound itself. that was really the "end" of mono, really, when you didn't have to buy a mono record just because you didn't have a stereo record player (or from another angle, you coul now buy a stereo record even if you didn't yet have a stereo record player). People were, like, hey, I'll be getting a stereo record player soon enough, might as well buy a stereo record now. And you know, geez, I had forgotten ALL about that DON'T PLAY A STEREO RECORD WITH A MONO CARTRIDGE - DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!! business, that's like ancient record history now. But yeah, that was a thing. All the record club ads, you had to select stereo or mono, it was a very real thing.

Ah see, when the gig pays little or nothing, I become highly selective. Have often dropped LOUD F-bombs under those circumstances. And that was one of those gigs. And you know, some shit just ain't worth the money. You can make money other ways than desecrating what you love. I can, anyway. That's the main reason I stopped playing, too little money for too much bullshit. Let the teenagers in Italy have that money, they probably need it right now, hire then for a virtual gig.

What I liked about the OG BYGs were the hyper-laminated uber thin cardboard jackets. Anybody who boots these things needs to get that element perfectly right or else just stay home with it.

No.
