Who's the White Bitch in the photo That's Jeanne Moreau (photo taken during the recording session for Louis Malle's 'Ascenseur pour l'Echafaud')... Oh. Another French beauty then.

Yes. Certainly 'the big three' of 'Modernism' were Picasso, Stravinsky and Joyce. The period is often said to start as early as Courbet and the Impressionists and last in varying degrees until the Warhol and Pop Art era. Warhol being seen as the Father of Post-Modernism to a certain extant. I think Robert Hughes 'The Shock Of The New' really documents 'Modernism' well. But I love John Berger's Ways Of Seeing much more! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShV1h85dnkc

Certainly the major tape companies sold some very high quality blank cassette tapes back in the day. I know because one of my band mates at the time had a very expensive pocket tape recorder - that he would buy top of the range quality cassettes for -so as to record our gigs.........and also some very well known visiting US Jazz and Blues men (and women).

Who's the White Bitch in the photo I think she is amazing! Isn't she? She's very beautiful for sure. Is this Juliette Greco by any chance? She said Miles didn't marry her because he didn't want her to have to face the trauma of being a White woman married to a Black man in the USA during the 50's. Then again that could just have been one of Miles, 'Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover'

What about 'Horse Tranquiliser'. Wasn't that used to make leaf and tip more potent?

I guess there's Modern with a capital M - and then there's just plain old 'modern' - as in 'Thoroughly Modern Milly'. Oh wait...that's got a capital M too.

Is she reading a letter telling her it's over?

Have they done a Dr. John - Van Morrison - Bonnie Raitt album yet.

I don't think there'll be many covers in this category

Need proof? There: ahrrr........crossover artists

And Mr Masuo has a deliciously dirty chordal tone going on underneath the horns. That's the kinda tone you just don't hear anymore. And speaking of 'underneath'.... Q. What's worn underneath the kilt? A. Nothing. It's all in perfect working order.

Public domain quality control????

The wonderful days of 'the mix tape'. Making them for friends. Including the tracks you 'knew' they 'must' hear. Friends making them for you. Or someone making a cassette for you of that rare unfindable album you couldn't live without, and the cassette becoming your most precious object. Or the sound mixer recording your gig 'through the board'.

Slow washing!

What a great story!

Yes, first one is a classic. I believe the original was recorded as part of a marathon session that produced Exit and another albums worth of material - so Martino could finalise his association with Muse.

Actually I kinda did. an ex- Police officer anyway. After years of trying to lock up Aboriginals, he ended up marrying one. He lived out the rest of his life travelling around the Aboriginal community and sharing a beer or two My old uncle used to say... 'he couldn't beat us........so he joined us'

When Joe Pass was asked what was the best way to become a fast player...he said... 'practice playing fast' But I always got the feeling from reading and seeing video of surly old Joe, that if he didn't like you or the question - he'd give you a bum steer

Yep. And there's nothing more embarrassing than seeing people who have embraced and channelled their 'music' or other artform, towards 'the monolithic direction of consumption' - try and develop a conceptual and creative clue - long after their formative creative muscles needed working on. And then again, it's also often a bit embarrassing to see people who have so obviously put art before commerce - for the most part - reach out to the mainstream. Thank God for the Europeans and Japanese. And Allen Lowe

God I love that acoustic Hendrix. I remember as a kid seeing that for the first time late at night on network TV, when they played the Hendrix doco. What a great doco for a young music lover to see. Littlle Richard in all his camp glory telling the world...'I knew he was gonna be a star" The Ghetto twins...talking about Hendrix 'taking the alpha pocket outta here' ...or something like that All the VERY seedy ex-girlfriends.... ...'didn't you think I could do that' Authenticity personified.

I think I've played with her drum teacher.

Yes, tutes, not tudes...my bhad. Close enough
