No, that's the Clash's London Calling. I actually haven't listened to this in several years but last time I heard it I remember being distinctly unimpressed. I will give it a spin tomorrow and re-evaluate. Guy

How come Nessa never released a spoken word album by the guy, given his affiliation with Chicago? Guy

Very interesting: Posner on Friedman. Guy

My CD arrived today. Guy

It's not clear to me when the last train to Boston is leaving from Penn Station -- jazzzshrink said he will be catching the late set of a performance, which sometimes ends at 12:30 AM. Guy

I'm flying to the west coast on Wednesday and need to decide whether I will get to JFK airport by car or by train/shuttle. I'd really rather drive, but am guessing that the long term parking lot will be full. Is this a realistic assessment? Are there alternative parking lots or am I stuck with the train? Guy

The rust is what makes this set disctinctive! A rustfree box would be a first! How thick is the metal? Bulletproof? Guy

Dammit, time to go back to the abacus. Guy

Another win by the W's. Unfortunately Baron Davis is injured (again) -- hopefully it isn't too serious. Monta Ellis had a fantastic game -- career high 31 pts. Guy

Do you seriously not understand that Alex meant "why is this strange" as in "why do you consider this unusual"? Alexander's point was a bit broader than that. He was tying into his usual anti-religion shtick. Guy

Save your breath. Guy

A stagecoach? Or coach class on an airplane? Guy

You might want to check out the JSP Bird box instead of the Savoy/Dial -- it's super-cheap, maybe cheaper than BMG, and includes a lot more material (some of which is absolutely essential). Guy

Not sure if I would recommend this one as a starter -- it's pretty short and only manages to reach LP lengthy through the inclusion of incomplete takes. Guy

At JazzLoft: Paul Bley, Turning Point Andrew Hill, Shades Texier/Romano/Sclavis, Suite Africaine

I have checked -- there's no such email (aside from the initial order confirmation) in my inbox, junk box or trash box. Guy

A question: I have sent these guys 3 emails about my order (has it shipped? when will it ship?) without a response. They charged my credit card the day after I made my order. How long is it reasonable to wait for a package to arrive (from France) before taking it up with my credit card company? Guy

That's not John Galbraith -- it's his son, James Galbraith.

Miami is the worst team in the league right now. Losing to the Knicks by +20 pts at home? Horrible. Guy

I haven't read Keynes. Can you summarize his argument? I'm guessing that he argued that the pressure of reparations would cause Germany to print money and reach hyperinflation. Guy

I think as far as D, opponents' shooting percentage is a better indicator than opponents' point scored. (Though they are frequently correlated.) Now, I have no clue how well Sac shot last night. I do know that the Warriors are not a very good defensive team in general. But like all Nellie teams, that doesn't matter as long as they can score more than their opponent. It's never good enough to win a championship, but an 8 seed would be heaven at this point. Guy

I can't fucking stand these commercials. W's won again tonight. This isn't a bad team. Not necessarily a good team, but not a bad team. Guy

None of those teams are that good -- Cavs should be able to take 3 of 4, Hughes or no Hughes. The Warriors are probably going to lose to the (impressive) Kings tonight. Guy
