No, what did he say? Guy

There's a nice slam of Crouch in Scott Yanow's AMG review:

This is pretty creepy, Alexander. This isn't a story about some insignificant 8th century Danish prince, it's about September 11th. Guy

what the hell are you talking about [/contemporaryladySF] figure it out. Duh, I tried but I'm a little unclear on what "this thing" refers to. Iraq? Afghanistan? A period characterized by general public ignorance? Anyway, it's not really my style to trash people who aren't even out of high school so I'll shut up now. thank you so much. Can you please explain what you were talking about? Guy

I will have to check out some of this music. Based on your description and various reviews it must be excellent. Guy

It's worth downloading their song "Grendel" -- one of the first things they did, and hilariously awful. Especially when they plagiarize "Apocalypse in 9/8". Guy

They were definitely a Genesis lite band early on but developed more of an identity later on. I picked up one of his solo albums, Sunsets on Empire, back in college as well. Not bad, not great. Guy

I'm a lot more disturbed by Concord's decision to reissue the same jazz recordings for the umpteenth time than by the Bolton release. Alas, all the stuff left in the Fantasy vault is going to remain there for a looooooong time. Guy

In college I picked up way too many Marillion albums, most of which I wouldn't acquire again if given the chance, but this is a damn good album. "Hotel Hobbies", "At That Time of the Night", "White Russian", "Slainte Mhath", "Sugar Mice" -- great stuff! Guy

Agreed. GOD I HATE THE LAKERS. Guy

Hinrich hit that crazy 3 from way out there. The Bulls are looking really good, though I still think Miami will pull out a win in this series. Barely. Nash really blew it at the end of regulation. And at the end of OT. Guy

how would expressions rate? i believe that was the last release he authorized. I would actually rank it below Interstellar Space and Stellar Regions. But we're talking about music at a very high level. All of the '67 studio stuff does, but is it the music or the listener? Guy

I was listening to Interstellar Space earlier. Guy

A few days ago I ordered Nuff Nuff or whatever it's called from Tower, hopefully they'll have it in stock. Until it's delivered, I'm contenting myself with some live recordings I downloaded from the site-which-must-not-be-named. Out of the two recordings on Pi, which is better? I'm tempted to go with Up Popped the Two Lips to prep for Zooid at the Iridium. Guy

Kurt Thomas's absence seems to be hurting them quite a bit. I'm kind of surprised that the Pistons would mail in a game like they did today. To get slaughtered by the Bucks, embarrassing. Brent Musburger made a crack about how even though Kenyon Martin's contract will be tough for the Nuggets to unload, there's always Isiah Thomas in New York. Guy

James Posey -- what a douchebag:

At the Village Vanguard, June 27-July 2 Mark Turner-sax, Chris Cheek-sax, Ben Monder-gtr, Jacob Bro-gtr, Steve Cardenas-gtr, Jerome Harris-gtr, Ben Street-b, Motian-d

LeBron was very impressive tonight. Guy

I don't think I'll be seeing this. Guy

I have "Finlandia" on this:

The Suns are painful to watch. Though I'm guessing that Shawn Marion won't have too many games like this. Guy

Also, Artest is a known nutcase and Ginobili is, at worst, an egregious flipflopper. Guy

At a trivia night, I learned that DARE stands for "drugs are really expensive". Guy

I'm not a huge fan but a little Sabbath once in a while is good for the soul. Guy
