  1. ARE U SURE ABUOT TAHT? AND STUFF?! well yes, but can you explain me what's this got to do with surface mail and with cuckoo clocks? or is this the proof it ain't quite over yet? and is rocke indeed offended? if so, i humbly offer him becoming a duke in my royal property of böhmen/mähren, to reimburse! ubu Blau ist die Farbe deines gelben Haares. I always thought the color of an object should be the absorbed complementary color.
  2. Of course I'm not offended! Can't put up a pic right now because the clock is in the basement. I don't dare to go down there alone.
  3. I would like to apologize to Bluerein.
  4. Is this about the mushrooms in the water? Nice stuff.
  5. Is there an audio fool lurking this board who knows what he's talking about? If so, please share your peer reviewed papers BASED ON FACTS - not on placebos.
  6. What are these companies using as copy protection? Is it one of these schemes that induces errors into the datastream? If so, I can say there would be an audible difference without hearing the discs. Anything that increases jitter is BAD. The digital clock is the weakest link in the chain in most CD players and anything that would specifically mess with it even more would definately make a sonic difference. I have no idea - please ask an audiophile fool, bluerein or some other fools. I am deaf.
  7. Uh..... so which is it? I'd say he declared himself a so called audio fool.
  8. I'm sure some audio fools picked up the information you posted and thought they could hear a difference as well. So US pressings don't sound much better to you now, do they? Next time you should do such tests before talking about sound differences on chat boards, so audio fools won't be tempted to draw false conclusions that easily. How do you set up your listening tests btw?
  9. Get drunk around the time you usually go to bed. This helps.
  10. I read a Zawinul interview where he said that he often collected tons of material over a period of time and later used just tiny bits on a record so there's a contradiction to what your source wants us to believe. Extensive editing and thoroughly composed stuff don't necessarily exclude each other. If the only reason for Z holding back this material is because he wants people to believe in first live takes or something = stupid. It would be cool to hear this music. I don't care how this stuff was put together.
  11. In the bio Chester Thompson says "I was thrown by the detail of charts of each of them[...]I was surprised by the details of the charts, actually." It is also mentioned that editing was involved in putting WR albums together. Seems as if they were being pragmatic. Edit: of course, Thompson was in the band before the period you're talking about.
  12. Was this broadcast as "Jazz - gehört und gesehen" (episode 32)? http://www.sojazz.org/monk/wesee03.html
  13. On page 182: who could be the drummer they flew in from Switzerland?
  14. I saw this was on the web. I've been trying to find this article - no luck. Just in case you come across it sometime, could you please post it to the board or send me a PM or something? Thanks.
  15. There's another book. On occasion of Z's 70th birthday a biography (it's basically an interview covering Zawinul's entire life with some very nice photos) in German language was published in 2002. http://www.residenzverlag.at/programm/frue...002/baumann.htm
  16. The NSJF site has now time tables in its archive: http://www.northseajazz.nl/nsj356.en.html
  17. Without the underwear.
  18. I haven't seen the video (don't have the plug-in) but the Cine-Tele Sound Studio, London, England, March 7, 1965 entry could make sense: http://www.jazzdisco.org/morgan/dis/c/#650307
  19. In the world of cross-cut, jump-cut, cut-up and uncut poetry over the past five or so years, I haven't experienced anything close to what this is capable of delivering, so I was happily surprised to find oaduj@obline.sh.cn’s "inkling,Big Alert - NTVI": Despite the inexplicable lack of extra spaces between words, punctuation; despite the potentially straight-jacketed classification of spam poetry under “Alert - NTVI”; and despite a serious nod to some mentor spam poets I can no longer read without sinking into a deep funk, oaduj has produced the real thing: poetry that compels, entertains, enlightens, moves, and, especially, changes the reader. In fact, its very aliveness to, awareness of that overlooked entity, the reader, its tacit acknowledgement that there is someone to be talked to from the screen, that there are humans involved in the making and reading of spam poems, is evidenced in this very poem. Such acknowledgement infuses inventiveness, re-invention of the line and re-animation of syntax with purpose such that this poem is not mere displays of technique. In fact, when oaduj breaks conventional grammar, instead of leaving the page littered with the usual clever debris, oaduj forces the sense of something fresh and real to emerge. As with anything truly new, oaduj's poem takes some getting used to, and it needs to be read with an open mind, felt first, thought about later. More than superficially novel, this poem yields substance, exposes layers of feeling and thought, and sustains associations and ideas that reward, rather than defy, further reflection.
  20. Possible organissimo meeting scenario?
