Teasing the Korean

Agreed. I always felt that Tim Buckley's "Happy Sad" was a perfect a companion piece to that album. Back in the days of cassettes, I had a well-worn 90 minute tape with each one of those filling up a side.

Ya gotta admire a baseball team that plays football well enough to make it to the Superbowl.

Nino Rota - La Dolce Vita - RCA International (mono) One of these days, I have to put together a Nino Rota compilation from vinyl and leave off the wacky circus/parade numbers.

Celebrating Superbowl Sunday by NOT watching the Superbowl and playing nothing but European music. Now: Armando Trovaioli - Seven Golden Men - UA (reprocessed stereo)

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.
