[2018-19 Hot Stove League]

Not wholly off-topic: An interesting story came out about a week ago. Because of a dispute concerning the KC Chiefs' income tax,

reporters were able to examine tax returns from 2008 through 2010.

Some not-so-surprising conclusions re. revenue sharing, lack of incentives to win. The article also says that MLB has much less broadcast revenue sharing than the NFL.

Is that Nicole Kidman on the cover of that record or is it Rob Lowe?

 

 

! Interesting observation.

There aren’t enough teams for a relegation system unless you include the minor leagues.  In such a case, you would have the best teams in triple A plus the teams that had been relegated in a league below the Majors. 

Yes, I was thinking of promoting the best AAA clubs and demoting the worst of MLB. But it'll never happen, so just talk. And there are 2 AAA leagues (plus multiple AA and A), more complicated than the English football hierarchy.

My brother strongly recommended Herron to me. I read and enjoyed Slow Horses, mean to continue with the series, but keep forgetting. Once read a Herron non-Slough House novel (Down Cemetery Road), which was OK but less good than S. H.

I liked Joseph Heywood's Woods Cop series, set in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Series ended in 2011, don't know if Heywood is still writing.

Bill James's (Welshman, not the sabermetric guy) lengthy Harpur and Iles series is excellent, but it's best to start at the beginning and I fear those books are hard to find.

Two other long-running series I've always enjoyed are Lawrence Block's Matt Scudder books (NYC) and Loren D. Estleman's Amos Walker series (Detroit).

I still get 7.74 euro price (I frequently clear my browser history - hint), but several items have apparently sold out. Not enough of interest to get me over the free shipping hurdle.

[2018-19 Hot Stove League]

I know it'll never happen, but a relegation system a la English football, in which the worst teams get demoted to a lower league, would make the crappy teams try harder to win.

The Marlins a story line? In irrelevance, maybe.

Not possible. VAT is 21% in Spain, which would amount to 9.21 if you add VAT to 7.74.

When I open the link above it comes on in English, of course. Yet it says 10.00 EUR.

 

 

Clear the history in your browser, then click again. For me it then reverts to 7.74.

[Swiss Radio Days - Jazz Messengers]

Note you can select the language.

When I view in English, it's Euro 7.74 per disc; when in Espanol or Francais, E 10.00 / disc.

[Added] Then if I reselect English, back to 10.00! But if I clear my Internet cache and click again on the link at top of thread, 7.74 again!

There is a new release of Coltrane's '58 Prestige due out end of March:

John Coltrane Coltrane '58: Prestige Recordings on PopMarket

The Prestige Recordings - John Coltrane | Songs, Reviews, Credits | AllMusic

Why the new 5 CD set instead of the older 16 CD set? I tried looking for a thread on this couldn't find one.

 

 

Big thread on this started a month ago.

["Gimme Some Of That Ol' Atonal Music']

Didn't bother to read the OP (or watch - even the opening still shot looked dopey). Used to spend time on classical discussion forums, and have seen more than enough "tonal drone" trolling.

[So, What Are You Listening To NOW?]

Arrived today, starting out with vol. 3 (disc 2).

Thanks for posting, but WSJ online seems to have a paywall.

Don't know what to call this long microtonal piano piece. Could be classical, ambient, new age or minimalist. I have a much older CD release (2002 vs 2007) put out by the composer/performer rather than a record label.
