Big Wheel

Maybe this refers more to TEXT than images: A year ago some of us were discussing Yoko Ono's career as an artist in the 60s (Fluxus, anyone?), before she met John. Several of those pieces involved her being nude (or naked, I'm sure both words were used in the discussion). It was in the Politics forum, triggered by her 2003 announcement that she would (as the thread title put it) "repeat [her] naked appeal for world peace." Somebody mentioned it again somewhere here this summer. My comments about Yoko Ono in 2003 were also kind of my position statement on the Babe thread, prompted by some eager Babe thread participants being so snotty about Ono: Funnily enough, often when I click the "view online list" link someone (almost always a guest) is looking at that old thread. I always assumed it was a bot, though.

Never mind, it was Screamin' Jay Hawkins (he was one of my guesses). http://www.songtitle.info/ is a cool resource for this kind of thing.

It's the Levi's 569 loose fit jeans commercial. Some blues shouter doing "I Put a Spell on You." Can anyone help?

Heard some of this lately on the radio and enjoyed it. I played with both the drummer and trombone player in my high school combo. They are beasts. Definitely worth checking out if you have an interest in the Haitian/jazz blend.

I find these are very useful to have, since I've been moving a lot lately (graduated from college, sent stuff home, moved out). The original packing material made me stress a lot less about taking things on airplanes.

My live-in likes it. Probably the main reason is her favorite drink is a White Russian (aka Caucasian), and whenever we watch it (I found a copy for $6!), we try to drink along. Ah, the Big Lebowski Drinking Game. There is a dorm at MIT that shows it once a year and throws in the added wrinkle of lighting up a joint every time the Dude does.

Very true. My SO compared watching Lebowski to watching a 20-car pileup.

D'oh, forgot about those two. I'll edit in a bit.

I boldfaced the ones that have since been reissued. The Chambers, Elvin Jones, Thad Jones, Mitchell, Moncur, Parlan, Rivers, Weston, and I think also Gerald Wilson and Patton titles have also since come out as part of their respective Mosaic sets.

Yeah, Turn Out the Stars is wonderful. If you can afford the whole box, get it.

ah, here we go: http://www.nulldevice.net/infocom/hitchhik.html (requires Java)

There is a Java version of the game floating around somewhere. I dug the first few episodes of Red Dwarf that I saw--I remember thinking at the time that it was some of the funniest stuff I had ever seen (I was about 15 or 16). Guess I kind of got bored with it eventually.

I fled back to Boston on Friday. Thank God I didn't have to put up with this crap again. Many of the shutters are probably going to be up until I go home around November, though.

There is also a movie in development.

While alcohol can be relaxing, I would advise staying well away from it for now--especially if you tend to be a "sad drunk." I also have serious reservations about antidepressants--I think some of them have understudied, personality-changing side effects--but I'm not a doctor. If you do visit a mental health professional, I would at least ask about options that combine therapy and medication. Sometimes just having someone you can talk to helps a hell of a lot.

Same as above posters recommended, plus lots and lots of exercise. You'd be amazed how much better you'll feel, mentally, once you get the physical thing together. This WILL get better.

Well, I just want everybody to know that you never sent MY cds EITHER. On the other hand, I never bought any from you....

In the case of drummers, you're simultaneously insulting their mother and their aunt...now that's just unforgivable!

Interesting. I guess it works either way, since the melody sits on a common tone between the two (the fifth).

Wait, what's the first chord if you play it in "minor"? The way the new real book has it is: I | V7/bVI | bVI etc. (In G, G | Bb7 | Eb ) Is it just the common sub to a iii chord, ie, Bmin7? Or do you mean you change the G chord to a G minor chord?

Only 280--I know the exact number because I just finished cataloging them. That doesn't include an additional 50 or so that are in the 9 box sets, though.

Welcome man, and dig the avatar. And don't be shy. I started posting on the BNBB when I was 16, I think.

My guess is that this one can be at least partly blamed on the TV Food Network's writers. These shows are usually more scripted than they look.

A lot of this stuff is overblown. The fact is, if you want to send something really private, you shouldn't be using email to do it, period. I'm not thrilled that GMail might be eventually used to keep a record about me, but that's life in the digital age for you. Also, you can delete cookies with some browsers, I believe--I think Opera lets you do that. All that said, by all means, if you don't trust them, don't use it.

For some reason that story gave me an image of Miles-as-Gollum: "Fisshhhhhhhhhh....we loves it, O yes, my precious!"
