Teasing the Korean

Rupert Murdoch.

You left out a great one: Get a silver-colored magic marker and write genre names, as I do with my trashed records, and then position them between sections of your collection. For example, I have one each for Jazz, Latin, Brasil, Exotica, Crime/Spy, Space, Moog, Zodiac, Now Sound, Classical, etc. It's best when you find a trashed record in the genre it's representing. And if the cover has a scantilly clad babe on it, it goes right on the wall.

Bernard Herrmann - North by Northwest - Varese Sarabande Laurie Johnson conducting.

Various - Sushi 3003 - Vario A millennial collection of Japanese club pop.

Roland Shaw - The Return of James Bond - London/Decca Phase 4 Double LP of Bond and other spy stuff (Avengers, the Saint, etc.) Mildly disturbing cover image.

Elegant breakfast music - Ben Webster - Ballads (Verve) 70s twofer reissue focused mostly on the strings sessions with Ralph Burns.

Were these Trisha Nixon's or Amy Carter's albums?

I believe the original mastering of the album would have been "modern," strictly speaking.

There is usually an entire section in the classifieds (at least in the Plain Dealer) that is specifically directed towards this kind talent because the demand for nurses is so high. My estimation is that you should not have too much trouble landing a job upon graduation. Good luck nonetheless! Yes, I had thought that nursing is one profession where finding work wouldn't be too difficult (and well-paid, too). Come to Florida. You'll get a job. In the winter when the snowbirds arrive, there are nurses who come down from other parts of the country and Canada to work in the hospitals on temporary or seasonal basis. There is a nursing shortage nearly EVERYWHERE in the US but it is especially high in Florida. You'll get a gig, don't worry.

I would advise him to bring the Captain Beefhart, Isaac Hayes, and the first three Talking Heads albums upstairs - and then promptly re-seal the box!

I am bracing myself for the same thing. I feel for you. Enjoy the severance package. I hope I'll get one as good as the one you describe.

How do you get a glass of wine to last for a whole album side?

Yeah, TTK, that's a great idea. Tell us about his proto-exotica tunes.

Long day at work, so no workout for TTK tonight. I'm having a glass of cabernet, likely my first of a few (knowing me).

Coltrane bears a striking resemblance to Dan Gould. Or is that Dan Gould next to Coltrane in the photo?

For MG: Gene Ammons - The Organ Combos - Prestige (stereo, but listening in mono) 70s twofer collection of his organ dates from the early 60s.

Hugo Montenegro - The Man from U.N.C.L.E. - RCA (Black label, stereo) TV soundtrack albums from back in the day often had little or nothing to do with the actual music from the shows. This album has Montenegro's arrangements of actual music from the show by Jerry Goldsmith, Lalo Schifrin, Morton Stevens and Walter Scharf. Captures that international mid-60s spy aesthetic very well.

The dialog portions are individually indexed and easily programmed out.

Osibisa - Superfly TNT - Buddah T'ain't No Thang!

I has to finds teh vinyls then.

Bud Shank - Magical Mystery - World Pacific (stereo) Jazz guys trying to get hip to the sounds of today! Beatles side has mini psych freakouts between each track. "Fool on the Hill" sounds like Morricone circa 1969!

Recently: Jimmy McGriff - The Mean Machine (GM) Jimmy McGriff - Red Beans (GM) Hugh Masakela - I am Not Afraid (Blue Thumb) Don Sebeskey and the Jazz Rock Syndrome (Verve, stereo) The Zimbo Trio - The Brazilian Sound, Retrained Excitement (Pacific Jazz, stereo) Oscar Brown, Jr. - In a New Mood (Columbia, two eye mono)

Ah! Nice one. Morricone wrote lots of film scores, people are used to consider his works after Leone's westerns, but lesser known and lesser successfull movies have great music too, often better then the movies itself. I especially love Morricone's late 60s-early 70s scores for giallo films and also what I can describe only as "groovy Euro films." Love the juxtapositions of Bacharach-esque chord progressions, breathy wordless female vocals, fake rock elements and dissonant orchestral mayhem that sometimes show up within a single soundtrack. Porcy, I want to visit Rome but I'm scared it won't look like it does in early 70s films and Guido Crepax cartoons! Please tell me the women still wear maxi-skirts and the guys are wearing turtlenecks with flared pants, and everyone is driving around in minis!

Morricone - Metti una Sera a Cena (Dagored)

Paul Winter and Carlos Lyra - Columbia (stereo)
