Teasing the Korean

We've all been there...

Yes, in addition to the Third Wave, we need many others such as the two Nelson Riddle albums, Horst Jankowski's For Nightpeople Only, "Roland Kovacs' Trip to the Mars, and that France Boland album with the track that sounds like Les Baxter's Que Mango album.

I am not familiar with the story you reference. My era of DC comics is early- to mid-60s via the comics that my older brother had. The Legion of Super Pets was featured to varying degrees during this era. I bought some DC comics in the early 70s, but I did not generally like how the artwork had evolved at that point. Has DC ever done throwback issues, featuring new stories but art styles associated with earlier decades?

EDIT: I was able to see the entire article using a different browser.

That is the best two-paragraph article on Sun Ra that I've ever read!

Star Trek season 2, disc 2: "Amok Time" (Gerald Fried) and "The Doomsday Machine" (Sol Kaplan). "Amok Time" has killer reverbed-out bass guitar, played with a pick, used to represent Spock.

Twilight Zone box set, Disc 1: Bernard Herrmann.

Krypto and Streaky are currently tied with one vote each! It's gonna be a nail-biter...

That was indeed a sign! It would have sealed the deal for me.

Star Trek - The Original Series box set. I finished season 1 last week. I have now moved onto season 2, disc 1. This disc has "Catspaw" and "Friday's Child" by Gerald Fried.

You seriously named your dog Coltrane?

If there is one thing that unites jazz fans young and old, it is our love of the Legion of Super Pets. Beppo the Super Monkey first appeared in Adventure Comics in the late 1950s. By 1962, all four of the Super Pets had been introduced. They have gone in an out of vogue, as far as comic book publication goes, but they have steadfastly remained in the hearts and minds of hardcore jazz fans over the decades. Who is your favorite, and why? For me, it is between Beppo and Streaky. I will have to deliberate a bit more before I choose.

The episode titled "The Mark of Gideon" did not have a score composed for it, and was tracked with existing Star Trek music. A fan created a suite on YouTube. The composers include Alexander Courage, Fred Steiner, and Gerald Fried. Enjoy!

Sorry I got us off track with the Beatles. Simply comparing 30-minute programs to 80-minute programs, or 82-minute programs.

Who is Kevin?

Nonsense. It was part of an artsy photo shoot.

Understood, but my impetus for mentioning the Fab Four in the first place was the brevity of the LP format and the advantages it brought. I'm guessing that the UK versions did not conveniently fit into 15- and 30-minute timeframes correct? Hence the "less is more" comment regarding the Capitol albums.

It's just pop music for children, not high art. It doesn't matter what albums the songs are on. What mattered was being able to hear a side in 15 minutes or a whole album in a half hour.

Why?

I spoke to Jack's pianist/conductor about 15 years ago. He raved about Jack's ear and innate musical sense. I saw the show, and Jack was phenomenal.

You mean Sgt. Pepper. The US Revolver has 11 tracks and plays in under 30 minutes, as do all the prior US Beatles albums.

As a kid, I loved the fact that the US Beatles albums all clocked in at under 30 minutes. You could play one side in 15 minutes. Those albums were a great way to fill time if you had a half hour to kill between Casper the Friendly Ghost and Dark Shadows. Sometimes, less is more.

True, but you may get some inner-groove distortion on the finale.

Mono LPs could accommodate much more than 22 minutes without losing fidelity. I mean the older mono LPs that were cut differently. When stereo LPs became a thing, researchers determined that fidelity started to be compromised over the 18-minute mark. This is in part why there were many LPs with sides in the 16- to 18-minute length. Obviously, jazz and classical presented problems, though it is fascinating that Stravinksy predicted the stereo LP dividing "The Rite of Spring" into two 17-minute segments.

Was it a moderne ranch house?!?
