  1. No, that's art. This is art: This is just silly: Let's stick to awesome: Cat yoga! I've heard of that.
  2. Me, too. It is my idea of a great vacation Yes. But by the time you finally wind down and start to relax, the holiday is over and you have to go back to work. Actually the quote is from a Bon Scott AC/DC lyric. Another song title I like about the subject of work is 'I'm to lazy to work and to nervous to steel'. And of course I don't subscribe to any of these philosophies. Here is the complete AC/DC lyric, are some of these lyrics stolen or appropriated from a traditional blues I wonder? I know that it's evil I know that it's got to be I know I ain't doing much Doing nothing means a lot to me Living on a shoe string A fifty cent millionaire Open to charity Rock 'n' roller welfare Sitting in my Cadillac Listening to my radio Suzy baby get on in Tell me where she want to go I'm living in a nightmare She's looking like a wet dream I got myself a Cadillac But I can't afford the gasoline CHORUS: I've got holes in my shoes And I'm way overdue Down payment blues Get myself a steady job Some responsibility Can't even feed my cat On social security Hiding from the rent man Oh it makes me want to cry Sheriff knocking on my door Ain't it funny how the time flies Sitting on my sailing boat Sipping on my champaign Suzy baby all at sea [suzy baby you're obscene] Say she want to come again Feeling like a paper cup Floating down a storm drain Got myself a silk umbrella
  3. OK. I give up. Is it this one?
  4. Doing nothing means a lot me.
  5. Do you think you could find time to throw a few 'polemicals' up here while you are waiting for the band to turn up? It seems to be all album covers and public school grammar at the moment. Preview of the 'Uncle Tom' liner notes perhaps
  6. Yes. I would say the information in this post is what interests contemporary players these days. Not 'inside/outside' so much.
  7. Is there a difference anymore? You haven't been paying attention. Listen to Cleaver on Farmers by Nature or any Lotte Anker cd VS. his appearances on any of the last few Jeremy Pelt cd's. No. What I am saying is the old dichotomy between inside and outside playing is not so much a matter of capacity for contemporary players anymore, but a matter of choice. It is a much more fluid thing for musicians (who from a drummers perspective) have absorbed people like Jack Dejohnette as second nature. The revolutions and discoveries of form (at least) were traversed ages ago.

  9. I suspect Baraka's complaint was a teleological one rather than a qualitative one. gee it's been getting boring in here of late
  10. I hate it when they mispronounce 'go home and die you *******' as ' go home and die you *******' . Never happened when I was in my twenties
  11. for liner notes I prefer my hyperbole ragged right I 'just' looked up ragged. Very clever and quick
  12. Exactly the same as Australia. I remember the achilles heel of the wrestler George 'the animal' Steele was his 'collie flower ear'. In Melbourne, Melbournian's pronounce the name of our city 'Mal-bun', but Yanks always pronounce it 'Mal-booorrrnnn'. In the Queen's English, it is probably 'Mal-burrnnn'. Our Prime Minister recently made an embarrassing faux pas when she pronounced the word hyperbole as hi-per-bowl Obviously she had only ever read the word, and never heard it used in conversation. It was quickly forgotten about, more than likely because most of her constituency of 'ordinary oarstralians', had neither read, nor heard the word in question. I, of course, had already encountered the word via the Michael Cuscuna penned booklet accompanying 'The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Grant Green and Sonny Clarke', where Cuscuna calls the Leonard Feather liner notes for Grant Green's 'Greenstreet' session as, 'entirely justified hyperbole'.
  13. You will soon. Manfred recently bought every African record label known to human kind and is currently remixing it all in the ECM way. The fiend! Well, at least the quality of the vinyl will be better. What you lose on the schving you gain on the roundabouts. BTW, thanks for the continuing grammatical 'head's' up.
  14. Not for me. I had a very poor education and am always looking to catch up. Any insights, even at this late stage of life, are most certainly welcome.
