  1. I had the same thought after hearing on the radio. Get a used copy, ok? That's the best thing on there, but it's all pretty good.
  2. It's a good song.
  3. Nashville Coyote falls in with the Pentecostal contingent and finds a home at last. ...or DOES he?!?!?!?!?!?! Maybe not... No regrets, coyote?
  4. No tricks , no gimmicks, just 100% pure coyote. or...
  5. Just out on Pi. Ordered from Bandcamp rather than Pi b/c (unless I missed something) the CD also comes with all the jizzy DL-Streamy functionalities. Best of both worlds for the same price.
  6. re: Baker/Prestige w/Coleman there were five LPs that came out of of that association, and only(?) one 2-CD set that left a lot out. There's a good set to be made there, I'd think. Baker himself was in good-enough form, but the rest of the band comes on pretty strong. George Coleman,Kirk Lightsey, Herman Wright, & Roy Brooks, that'll work. Plus, you got the whole Richard Carpenter thing going on...could make for a nice annotation, all of that.
  7. They had to label the tape boxes and session logs and all that stuff. Like Kevin said, no digital timers, and watching a clock on a wall we be a distraction to any other clerical multitasking. Besides, have you ever seen anybody use a stopwatch without the little fistpumpy action? There's something primal about it that keeps us in touch with our true analog heritage.
  8. Exactly. I knew those records from when they were new, and I'd be more inclined to buy them in a cost-effective bundle than as 4 single CDs. Nothing really "wrong" with the music, not that, it's more the production/assembly of the programs for the records, seems like it could have been tighter or something. Anyway...Wounded Bird certain finds their niche and fills it well. Kudos to them!
  9. I didn't pre-order and amazon is showing CD in-stock date as 10/05...is somebody shipping sooner, or are there advance copies out there already?
  10. Yeah, that's a good movie to just look at and say ever-changing "wow"a about damn near every second.
  11. I dunno man, you can take a punch pretty damn good. and you seem to be genuinely curious about music. Makes for good conversation, imo. Not always "pretty", but with an avitar like that, hey, nobody can say they weren't warned! As for the whole "woke" nonsense...wake me when that's over. I'm old and I take all my rest (and I'll take anybody else's that they're not using).
  12. What's the combined length of these four records?
  13. Do Christmas songs count?
  14. Ah, did not get that set, did not know that. I only became aware of them from their Way Out West thing. Wait...did they do the Panart Cuban Jam Sessions box? Yes they did. Never mind, then.
  15. Just let that kind of bullshit play out. The more it gets engaged with, the further away from the core issue the discussion gets. It's distraction into meaninglessness And who does that benefit? Nobody except... . I'm already regretting even thinking this, much less saying it, but if White People are curious how to navigate this whole climate of transition, they could do far worse things than keeping an eye on Taylor Swift (again, NOT the music, music is not the point of any of this). I'm not really sure, but it seems like she gets it. She gets The Man and all The Man's bullshit and she is not afraid. AND - when she gets called out for the Cultural Appropriation things (as she has, one time particularly memorably) she did NOT get Angsty White Peopley, she just did not engage in a fight, she recognized, appreciated, and then got back to making more money so she could execute her next acts of fuquitousness against I don't know if she personally gives a damn or not, but she gets it. And if she makes it to the finish line in one piece, hey, good for her. It's not JUST race that is freaking people into stupidity these days, it's a lot of things, age, gender, and just a general, uh...critical mass of history.
  16. Glad I'm not the only one thinking that!
  17. On the one hand, so much bullshit. SO. MUCH. BULLSHIT. OTOH, uh...yeah. If "we're" going to rightfully be "blamed" for anything in/of today, it's probably going to be simply not listening. Just reflexive Denying & Justifying. We're jsut sitting there fouuing of Strike three thinking that eventually they'll stop throwing or else we're gonna get a good hold of one and knock it out of the park. Seems to be a not wholly unreasonable rap? Allen, change the tittle to "Careful, White Man Bruise Easily". I don't think that most White People are "racists", but they sure as hell don't pay attention very well.
  18. In case nobody's noticed, I'm supporting Allen's title. The irony was obvious, imo, but then again, I'm familiar with Allen and his perspective. In case nobody's noticed, I'm also tired of the whole "cultural appropriation" conversation, but only because it shouldn't have got to this point. It's not evolution, it's devolution (are we NOT men?). But let's not kid ourselves - what is driving the whole notion of "theft" is not really music - it's economics. Money. Who's gotten paid and who's not. How was all this capital created, and where has it ended up. There's really no debate about that. As they say, follow the money. We got, what? two ginormous "major label conglomorates" left? Does anybody in even half a right mind question that many artists, of ALL cultures, were screwed over the years? Of course not. But look, Angsty White People, the issue of "Black Capital" is real, and hell yeah, racism (institutional and personal) has been a at-the-very-least-historical factor in this. To not see this requires a mathematics that has no grounding in reality, Zero-G Caluculus. This conversation WILL be had, like it or not, and if Us White Folk are "tired of being blamed", well shit, don't take it personal,at least as far as what's already happened. But what happens in OUR time IS our responsibility. Yes, inanity abounds. But if there's neither style nor substance points to be won by ANYBODY in the discussions being had, it's because basic realities are being ignored - on all sides - and reality is being injected-molded into some Creepy Crawler thing. You guys can bitch and moan and justify all you want. Have fun with that. ok? Tea time! And he's one of the "good guys"!!!!
  19. Official release on 12/06 per the OP. Check the usual sources for pre-order at some point, I'd imagine.
  20. Bizarre. It's not that I don't like Mabel Mercer, it's that I don't get her (or any of that type thing). At all. I get that there's a context and importance in the wake of that, but still...I've had it "explained" to me several times over and I still don't get it. Guess you had to be there...and I wasn't. Somehow, though, I think I'd still not get it even if I had been. That and Mozart.
  21. Wrong Dylan record!!!!! Or, ya' know, we could do both, listen to music for its own sake AND contemplate cultural implications, forwards and backwards. You can even do them in different thought, uh...trains. Once again, sustaining a lie is too much damn work. Truth is always easier in the long run.
