Oh, so this IS a Fox thing. then? Funny, I had no idea but smelled it a mile away. Make it about a "them" as opposed to the individual thems, like they just can't help it because you know, that's what "that type" does. Yawn.

Onyx was ran parallel to Xanadu, it was for historical stuff. No klezmer, this is a jam session in Jerry Newman's apartment. Been on my want list since it came out, just never found it at the right time at the right price, until now. $3.99, beautiful condition, cover and record.

I've got a low-energy mission to kinda fully-ish collect all (sorta) the Nonesuch albums of then-"contemporary" classical music. Some of them are very good, some of them are very not-good. But three bucks for a clean cover and seemingly clear record, it's not gonna suck so much as to not be worth three bucks and one listen. The one that really tickled me was the one put out by Bristol Labs (they're now part of Bristol-Myers-Squibb?). Freakin' Janacek put out by a pharma lab, a ginormous double-digit font-pool of WTF!?!?!?!?!-ness if ever there was one.

Yes, San Diego broadcast media owner = Hollywood. Dude, he's Frank Gallagher. Should we be surprised by anything he does?

Hollywood legend Bill McGlashan was great as Tom Polaris in the Celebrity Concubine series on Dumont, and then a decade later as Dr. Rodney Uvulalos in the Transfusion trilogy that dominated Venezuelan cinema.

Fully expected. Hey, three bucks, Nonesuch, eyes wide open.

Found these all in one place yesterday, only one over $3.99: (in mono, thank, uh, god) (no program notes enclosed, alas) CHECK IT OUT - Leonid (NOT Lennie! Hambro playing Janacek on a record put out by BRISTOL LABORATORIES!!! and finally, two Gerald Wilson PJ LPs, both of which I've had for decades, but in damn near MINT covers...mine are anything but, although bought new way back when... Records Are Fun!

oh, i see.

Colleges are bad. Hollywood is bad. Doing good is bad. Money is bad too, but only when you get caught. It's easy, really - life is bad. So be bad, or don't complain when you get fucked over and can't afford it.

Yes, whenever Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman come up in conversation (and they have, daily, for decades now!), the first thing that comes to mind is "Hollywood do-gooders". It's rich people being stupid, and...what's the rest of the story, Paul? Past rich people being stupid. And oh, yeah, getting caught.

I'd be more interested in a film about Death Of The Cool, who's got that blood on their hands?

The inquiry was about the person, not the handle.

Problem fixed.

He did an interview with RVG that I taped of the air. It was informative and enjoyable, if not particularly enlightening. Then again, I'm thinking that it was understood up front that "dude, how the hell do you get your piano to sound like THAT?" was not going to be an allowable question!

Do you get it at home, or at the school? Mine generally comes on the Friday after the release of the online edition. Spent the weekend on this issue Then again, I guess the way things happen now, the thing might actually be getting printed by someplace like the Dallas Morning News' printing facility. They do the NY Times, among other outside assignments. I guess that's how print works these days.

I've been please with his work over the years, very pleased. One guy who seems to really get it. He did Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight(?), I forget who all. But I see his name as a mark of quality. He spent the early-mid 1960s working at an ad agency in Dallas btw. Wrote an article about it a few years ago in D Magazine, talking about how the whole Mad Men thing was, yep, pretty much.

Further research turns up that Babe Stovall appeared on some later records/compilations, but none on a label like Verve. I also see that Cosimo Matassa engineered this one. So I gotta ask the members here who know a lot about New Orleans - who the hell WAS Babe Stovall, relative to the overall New Orleans scene?

with David Ritz?

It really is a bottomless pit. Found this one in a store today for $3.99: any idea what the VPM series was all about?

Not a lot to analyze, really. Just listen to the alternate take and then hear how the flute solo starts while the flute on the head is still playing. It's weird!

Hal Blaine as WMD:

I saw it on TV a while back, the 70s, iirc, back when they still had "late shows". It's ok fun, but totally Hollywood.

He's hardwired into American Popular music. RIP
