  1. Single contemporary CD Maria Schneider Sky Blue Boxset although it was not released this year. The Duke Ellington Centennial Edition of RCA VIctor recordings.
  2. It's cold -12 degrees in Celsius and there's snow on the ground. Last year at the same time it was like summer and everybody here was going crazy with global warming.
  3. Don't know a jazz musician can become a superstar in this day and age, but i would say that Aldo Romano and Daniel Humair would fit the bill in terms of recognition on their own continent.
  4. Jean-Michel Pilc René Urtreger Raymond Fol Great great French jazz pianists
  5. Well i'm somewhat a Ray Charles virgin, and i'm going through the second cd, so far it's a 10 out of 10. Basically these are old country tunes, some of Hank Williams stuff and many others revamped either with strings or in a gospel/ r n B fashion. If you were lukewarm towards Charles, they will convert you.
  6. Victoria's secret Victoria Beckham Victoria Williams
  7. Very interesting weekend futbol wise. In an hour or so second place Bremen receives third place Hamburg in a Bundesliga matchup. In he late games today the Barcelonian derby will have a special interest with Espanyol looking to take over the third place by theuir city rivals FC Barcelona. At the same time in Italy struggling AC Milan will receive Juventus in a big team duel. Tomorrow the games to watch will be a pair of early games in Serie A with Fiorentina hosting the last year champs and current leading team Inter Milan. At the same time Roma and Udinese, currently tied in second place with Juventus, will meet. Most games should be shown live in North-America except Roma-Udinese whose broadcast especially in Canada seems doubtful.
  8. Oscar Goldman Steve Austin Jaime Sommers
  9. How much for Grandma, i'm into old ladies nowadays.
  10. Thank God, i live in Canada, could watch it on the regular sport network TSN. By the way, was not impressed by both defenses yesterday. Whatever happened to the times where teams with strong defenses ruled the NFL.
  11. Here are some stuff about them. Marcia Baila http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ56pOwgR6E Covering an Aznavour song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZhn7VptvEo Histoire d'A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML9PWVm0wEQ
  12. Their new stuff was miss and hit among the good recent albums the above mentionned Variety is pretty good and Cool Frénésie was an outstanding record and for the rest there is the good bestov that is a fine review of their best songs.
  13. I know that for the majority of the english speaking board members it won't mean a thing but for those who are french speaking and who grew up listening to the Rita Mitsouko in the 80s and after that, had a shock when they learned that the cool guitar player and husband of singer Catherine Ringer suddenly died yesterday from a cancer. The Rita Mitsouka were an electric combo ang gave us thrilling live shows, i had the pleasure of seing them a few times live and they were always generous giving plenty of encores. Most of their biggest hits were in the 80s, among them Andy, les histoires d'a, c'est comme ca, they kept recording but not with the success they enjoyed previously although some of their latest stuff was pretty good but they weren't any hits like in the past They released a billigual album called Variety sooner this year Ill be playng Marcia Baila tonight, thanks for the good times Fred http://www.france24.com/france24Public/en/...ed-chichin.html
  14. Like those two Van As Bent Absent Van I tried with my real name i ended up with this Burka Tchador Pic Should i become a Muslim women ?
  15. Bart Simpson Bart Starr Bart Berman
  16. The band played here last winter and they were cookin', Taborn was fantastic and the rest of the band was great. Looking for very much to get this cd. I think Potter is one of those guys who are way more interesting and exciting to see on a live setting than on a recording.
  17. Mount McKinley Mount Mitchell Pike's Peak The Northern Pikes Tragically Hip Bryan Adams Hurray for Canadian rock

  19. Already received my package, considering that i received only one week ago my Mosaic stuff from their last sale, i have an impressive backlog of cds to listen. The Oliver Nelson and the Ellington Mosaic boxsets, the solo Hill, Onzy Matthews and Pullen Selects. The Ray Charles Atlantic and Country and Western sets and the Emmylou Harris set. Plus i have a Sharon Jones CD that is still in its wrapping. Thinking of asking my boss to go in holiday break right now
  20. Gemini Odyssey ColecoVision Video consoles that i owned when i was a young kid
  21. Sorry about the loss of your cat. Take care.
  22. Mario Lemieux Mario Tremblay Mario Marois
  23. I have a dream that involves Dolphins finishing the season 0-16, Patriots 16-0 and the 72 Dolphins team having collective gas as it unfolds.
  24. Well, Denver-Chicago turned out to be a barn-burner, with some awesome plays on both sides of the ball. One of the best games I've watched this season. Yeah, it was, but on paper were you really excited about the quarterback duel between Grossman and Cutler. It simply turned out to be a suprisingly great game Which is why you can't reject a game based on apparent matchups - or you would have missed two great games yesterday. I totally agree, but if you had to pick games to showcase on national tv, you could say that there were weeks with more obvious choices than the menu of games offered this weekend. My original post was an answer to a poster who criticized the poor quality of games shown on Thanksgiving. Hey, who would have thought that the Eagles would give Patriots fits, i kind of taped the game as a second thought, thinking after the first half i could fast forward it to the end since the game should be out of reach.
