Sweetheart, don't you remember it's sitting on top of the piano. It's not going anywhere. Where would I sleep at night? I can't help but find these chats between K-HB and Slsmcgrew a little weird and voyeuristic. Are we really sure that they're married or is this another of those Mnytime-Misterioso deals?

I go through phases - especially after making new discoveries - but I always come back to Duke, Monk, and Mingus. I've bought a lot of discs lately (various CD and LP sales and all that) so I haven't been "repeating" artists a whole lot lately, but for a while I was immersing myself in those cheap Z-boxes of Art Pepper, Bill Evans, and Sonny Rollins. Then there's those Blue Note periods - usually after a new batch of RVGs or Conns come out - where I'll listen to nothing but BNs for weeks on end...

My biggest gripe about the whole thing is that we lost a lot of pics of hot chicks and beautiful jazz women because of some old golfer. The now-deleted thread was about "babes" and not, uh, "Babes." If you wanna post pics of babalicious sports stars, Jim, let's stick with Anna Kournikova. Everone else is doing it. But, nooooo, JSngry's gotta be clever and ruin it for the rest of us...

Then again, this could come in handy if any of us know any voodoo priests...

Say it ain't so! "Brown Eyed Girl" is one of the finest pop songs of all time!

As far as i'm concerned, the BN issue is irrelevant. But the release of any new Van Morrison album is cause for celebration in my book. I hope BN makes lots o' money from it.

Oh my god...I think I just got a woody! Too much information! Besides, in this case a "rocky" might be more appropriate...

I'm not sure if MLBB has the authority to ban specific fans from its games, but a judge sure could as a condition of their probation.

Looking forward to this one. Any reviews or first impressions?

Yeah, and Kenny G would be voted President!

Chuck, you've often posted your stance on CDR trading (quite understandable given your position), but I'm curious if it still holds in a situation like this, where important music that should be heard isn't due to legal entanglements, artist indifference, or insufficient record company profit potential.

"Quadrophenia" overrated? Are you nuts?! It may be the finest Who album of them all. That's like saying "Mingus Ah Um" is overrated because only a couple of the tunes became jazz standards.

Hands down it's "Killer Joe." Not just my favorite Golson tune (and he's written a number of good ones), but one of my favorite jazz compositions period.

Um... good god... but I kinda agree with Aric on this one... And nobody who listens to jazz should ever criticize another artist/band for releasing "too many" live albums. You don't think there are plenty of live albums/bootlegs of less-than-prime Miles out there?

Hey Lon - Happy Birthday!

I sort of hated it. If I told you why I'd be giving away too much of the story.

Who woulda thunk it? Betty Page, Bizarro Superman, Flaming Carot, and Hong Kong Phooey avatars all in the same thread! Now that's cool!

I love the album, but I wouldn't call it jazz. If nothing else, Fagan is a pop/rocker, so that's where I'd put it.

You didn't specify jazz or not. I'm sorry to say (at least here), but if I could only take one disc it probably wouldn't be jazz. Probably "Blonde on Blonde" or "Highway 61 Revisited." Couldn't live without Dylan. That's, of course, if I were alone on the island. If I had some female companionship, I might have to choose something like Roxy Music's "Avalon" instead. For jazz picks, it would have to be "Mingus Ah Um" if I were solo or "Coltrane for Lovers" if I was looking to hook up with the natives.

Here are some great examples of the googie style... http://www.spaceagecity.com/googie/

Anyone see the recent episode of The Simpsons where Homer moved in with the gay guys? Funny as hell!

That's why they call him Mr. Cranky!

Just read this "review"... Now I haven't seen the movie yet so I can't comment, but this review is funny as hell. By the way, consider it full of SPOILERS!!!! http://www.mrcranky.com/movies/tombraider2.html

According a recent interview, she hasn't had sex in over a year and is ripe for the pickin'... Go get her guys! Personally, while i find her easy on the eyes and a decent actress, she comes with too much baggage that turns me off...

I guess it depends on how old you are and whether or not you had to study Latin back in high school.
