I would never! Well, that's just... …accurate. Look, after all the bullshit he gave me earlier in this thread, I think I've at least earned the right this one time.

I'm shocked Gould hasn't berated you for the outrageous insolence you've shown the infallible Dusty Groove!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!...KEITH JARRETT...70!!!!!
Scott Dolan replied to bluenote65's topic in Miscellaneous Music
I didn't know the Trio is kaput, but Gary Peacock turns 80 today. Those guys are getting old. Were they ever officially "together"? I was always under the impression that they just got together for tours whenever their individual schedules permitted. -
2015 MLB Season - Let's Play Two!
Scott Dolan replied to JSngry's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Yikes! We've got it pretty good. Living in Sleepy Hollow where everything is dirt cheap, with both KC and St. Lou a couple of hours in each direction, Omaha (the biggest hidden gem in the U.S. for my money) four and a half hours away, and Chicago and Nashville a mere seven hours from our homestead. I've bellyached and bitched about living here, but in recent years I've come to appreciate how good we have it in many respects. And while I'd love to live in Boston, or Chicago, or New York, or San Fransisco, I just can't see the sense in it fiscally speaking. -

Scott Dolan replied to JSngry's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Yeah, I hear that. It's not so much that you can't afford it, it's that you get to the point where you simply cannot justify the expense. And with San Fransisco having one of the highest costs of living in the U.S., those ticket prices don't surprise me. There may be downsides to living in the midwest, but cost of living certainly isn't one of them. Hell, I can still play 18 holes at Justin Smith's golf club for $29! Which my son and I try to do eevry weekend. I sometimes go walk nine after work, and that's only $6. How the hell can you beat that?! -

It's bizarre, all at the same time I can't believe he's 70 but I'm not the least bit surprised that he is. Hope it's a good one for you, KJ. You grouchy ol' fuck! -

Well, that's a byproduct of 1. having a very successful team with a relatively high payroll, and 2. having a much more luxurious stadium.. MUCH more! It's the same story here in Missouri, or it once was. Cardinals tickets were a fortune compared to Royals tickets. But, Royals tickets started creeping up after the stadium refurb (which is mind-blowing in its beauty), and now that their payroll is up and they've tasted success, the ticket prices have gone even higher. We used to get dugout box seats at The K for $25. Those same seats are now $53 for blah games, and up to $108 for "premier" teams like the Yankees, Red Sox, Cardinals, etc... I once bought a seat just a few rows behind home plate for $90. Now you're lucky to find one for less than $200…even for shit games. But, I'm not complaining. Give me a team that makes the playoffs, charge whatever the hell you want. After 29 years of missing the playoffs, not to mention all of those 95-100+ loss seasons you don't tend to be terribly picky about that kind of thing. -

It's early. Kluber being 0-5 with a 5.04 ERA is kinda shocking, though. -
Is streaming technology saving the music industry?
Scott Dolan replied to A Lark Ascending's topic in Audio Talk
Thank you. One look at those titles would tell me that they probably aren't streamed much. Most Jazz fans I know, myself included, don't even use streaming services. I'd still like to know how the rates are determined. -

Chuck gave a very precise answer. Might be time to pull some sheet music ... No, "my life's work" is not a "precise" answer. That tells me absolutely nothing as far as how many copyrighted titles he's referring to. That's like asking me "what did you eat", and me responding "everything!" -

How much stuff do you have out there? -

That doesn't answer my question in any way, but sorry to hear streaming hasn't paid off. -

How much stuff do you have out there? Aren't the royalty payments something obnoxiously bizarre, like a fifth of a cent per play, or something like that? Or worse? -

That sounds really cool! We once did a Cardinals game and a Royals game like that. They aren't as close together as San Fran and Oakland, so the travel was somewhat of a bitch. But it was still really neat. Drove to St. Louis for an afternoon game, then drove back home (which is damn near dead center between STL and KC). Headed for KC the next day for an evening game. Actually, I think we did two games in KC. Either way, it was really neat. Your neighbor should get a real kick out it. -

They do, but I've never seen anything definitive on how it is structured. Probably isn't much since many artists yank their tunes from YouTube and Vevo once they discover they are posted there. -

No, David is a douche of epic proportions. He WAS an OK cat, but then he took his trip to Africa and lost his friggin' mind. You have some bad moments, just like the rest of us. He actively makes sure he lives them every second of every day. -

He posts here as Face Of Bass, you may want to pm him if you have any specific questions. I think he's the most arrogant and miserable prick on the face of the earth, but he does know baseball history. -
I disagree with both of you motherfuckers.

Spotify data: Most lose interest in new music at age 33
Scott Dolan replied to GA Russell's topic in Miscellaneous Music
I know I returned to more "simplified" styles in my late 30's after I discovered the joys of Alt. Country. And at the ripe old age of 44, while the Pop charts leave me ice cold, I will readily admit that my wife got me to listen to Taylor swift's new album, 1989, and I have to say I find it rather enjoyable to listen to. But the whole Katy Perry thing? Totally lost on this boy. And I will never listen to somebody ft. somebody else. -
Maybe, but my aesthetic is fabulous!

can i bring my green sharpie? You can borrow my Teak cryo'd and calibrated sonic pucks if you need to. The shaman needed to correctly place them around the room will be on you, though.
