The Great Deceiver is available at the Discipline Global Mobile shop for $63 (before shipping.) That's less than I paid for it (from them a few years ago) and it's worth every penny. Epitaph 3 & 4 is available for $13.99 from the same providing you spell it correctly in the search box. As they own their music they're doing a great job at keeping their catalog in print. I've ordered from them many times and never had any problems.

Very interesting. I have yet to buy downloaded music but I think they may have gotten me. Good mix of stuff with more to come. I like the write ups for each show as well. For Jahnhalle '74: "What had seemed robust in the music the night before (at Mainz) now became threatening . . . the unsettling power of the performance comes through." It's interesting that it's $12.95 FLAC whether 1 disc or 2. But it's a price point that seems fairer than a certain other band famous for their live shows that shall go nameless. Now I'm going to pretend I haven't looked over the site until sometime after T-Day! OK, if I get some Xmas shopping done I'll reward myself with something Crim! Thanks for the heads up.

Happy Birthday to the one who has the bounciest avatar! Have a great day!

Beckett's got great stuff but he sure has problems with blisters on his fingers. However, the blisters have helped keep him from pitching too many innings as a youngster, all the better for his shoulder & arm long term. As long as some progress is made regarding the blister problems he would be a terrific pick up. He's already proven he can pitch in Yankee Stadium in a high pressure situation.

What goes around comes around. While Allen may not have called Clementine a douche in the "Where's Clementine" thread (while Clementine was away from the board), I seem to recall endless digs & snipes at him and his character. Why don't you just ignore him, as some of us here enjoy what he has to say. I'm still running (er, more like strolling as I've been slow about it) down his list of country recs from way back.

The package is too much like the older box sets like the one for The Who. On the one hand there might be a market for a box with 1/3 rarities and 2/3s the same old stuff, but I'm not buying that kind again unless I can find it cheaper than dirt. (And that'd be cheaper than what yourmusic will charge assuming they stock it.) They were just too late for me. I have CDRs of a bootleg boxset Crossing The Great Divide. The early Hawks stuff is interesting but it's not something that will get played tons. I've traded for various live shows and their hard drinking reputation certainly did effect their playing at times. Some of them are a mess. Regarding Watkins Glen, there was an official release in '94. However, it wasn't all Watkins Glen. Naughty naughty. Read about it here. Note - Both links above take you to the same site about The Band.

Female barber. She's an earthy person, so it's not like I have to watch my mouth. Not that I'm a lewd & rude customer, just that there's no pressure to be dignified. Not that you can be when you have a sheet over you and tissue wrapped around your collar. I now go 4 or 5 times a year as opposed to 2 or 3. I don't really care for the dramatic moment at the end where a mirror is held so you can see the back of your head. "Yeah, yeah, glad to see I still have a neck." A nice perk is a shoulder/neck massage is thrown in.

Speaking of Otis Day & the Nights, my car is almost always parked next to one of that Cadillacs that can barely be seen in the upper left in the scene when the boys peel away from the "If I was in your shoes, I'd be"...."Leaving..." Dexter Lake Club. Apparently they weren't supposed to actually hit that 2nd car in the lot as they left. Bad stunt driver, bad! My friend who lent his car to the movie nearly had a heart attack (and he was just a kid) when that happened, even though his car was not harmed. That was during Cray's Eugene years (Animal House was filmed here & in the area.) Yup, he's much better when he's away from the studio.

Haven't picked it up but I always loved the acoustic portion that I had on tape, especially the "Bird Song." The place to get the DVD would be deepdiscountdvd. Enter SUPERSALE in the coupon box will get you the DVD for $11.97. Sale is good until November 19th. Shipping is free (you can pay if you want it to arrive sooner.) Dead DVDs before the 20% off is taken off at deepdiscountdvd.

I remember that show! The "All Tomorrow's Parties" polka was pretty hot too. I think it was around the time Gil Evans did that Hendrix album. Larry wasn't about to be out-hipped, so he went straight to the Warhol crowd. Take that Gil! The later attempts at punk were disastrous though...

Thanks for the link! I didn't know that the Mariners were courting a catcher from Japan (he'd be the first if he signs.) While I know you have to adjust the numbers downward some he still looks like a step up from last year. Though Pudge Rodriguez's statue of himself would be an improvement over last year too. Mmmm, must read other team's rumors. :rsmile: Thanks for the fix!

After having this box arrive last Thursday I'm now entering my 2nd orbit with the set. The main draw was Bechet-Spanier & Teagarden, and of course the joy of discovering new music. As usual with Mosaic sets the latter part of the equation didn't disappoint. I've been especially taken with Rex Stewart and the baritone of Harry Carney, both of whom pop up all over the discs. It was also a thrill to finally hear some Budd Johnson as previous attempts to pick up his titles on OJC failed during my "before they go away" runs on the catalog. There's much more to love about this set too, as I'm sure more spins will reveal. An added bonus is my partner said she enjoys it too. "I like it more than that Miles Davis kind of music you play" (quickly trying to be diplomatic about any slight of Miles.) Having not played much Miles in awhile (other than a shuffle of the 1st 4 discs of the Jack Johnson box when she was away) I believe she meant "hard bop" for "Miles kind of music." No matter, it's good to make the other ears in the house happy too. (The cat is happiest (or craziest) with piano played fast.) I've been told (or warned ) that the H.R.S. sessions is a good starter set for the mammoth Capitol box. I must admit my Mosaic queue has changed drastically after getting this set. Barring any last chance happenings I think Capitol has moved to the front of the line, and the Teagarden set has moved up as well (it's always been a contender, but there's Roach, Parlan, the Jazztet and some others on my shifting wish list.) A relative newcomer under consideration is the Peggy Lee/June Christy set, and as the Capitol has a few tracks of Peggy it would be an expensive way to take her for a test drive. (I've liked what I've heard with the free samples on the website.) I ramble too much, but that's what the H.R.S. set has done to me. It's been a delightful ear opening experience into a terrific era. While I have some music from WWII & before (maybe 40 discs or so, and apologies for poorly labeling music history here) which I love, my collection is heavily weighted in the hard bop era. It's going to be fun to fix that!

The videotaping took place at the Southern Air Restaurant in Wentzville, MO. We used to stop there often as it was the halfway point on our way to my grandparents. Each table had a triangular peg game, a plastic creamer where the milk came out of the light brown & white cow's mouth and an all-in-one salt & pepper dispenser (whose colors matched the cow's) that you could buy if you were so inclined. I don't recall it obviously being associated with Chuck though we all knew it was. Chances are my mom & sister made it into his library. Outside of my mom saying "god damn him!" (she used g.d. more than most people's mom's ) I don't recall her being particularly traumatized by the news thankfully. Years later she'd even sometimes make jokes about the place when we'd pass by the closed restaurant. Not a cool thing to do, but I've never held a grudge against him. You gotta watch those hairdressers!

Hmm, if she & Bill Hicks had mated...yeow! I'm thrilled to see her movie will be in my town in late January. Better late than never.

Yuppers. That's my new show for the year. Looks like Jason Lee had the enviable requirement of "you'll need to gain a little bit of weight for this role."

I couldn't help myself. I burst out laughing when I saw that. Gee whiz, it's like there's an auction going on on how late they can release this thing.

Treat yourself to some Mosaics. Have a Happy Birthday!

The song mentions "honkin' on his horn."

As this thread began with the Arch here's a site devoted to the historic architecture of St. Louis; some crumbling, some no more, some still standing. Rooster might have provided this link in another thread long ago. Near & dear to my heart as it was the nearest large city growing up. Built St. Louis site.

That's a great site. Wouldn't you know the building that you have it cued to is by the firm that is designing our (Eugene, OR) new federal courthouse. In a recent story about the artist who has been hired to contribute the obligatory public artwork it was noted that the presiding judge is "trying to get a bald eagle worked into some of it somehow." Oh goody! I have a feeling I heard about detroitblog here, but just in case you haven't heard about it it's a fun read. The author's hobby is to enter abandoned buildings and explore & photograph them. I should add that he makes sure he does no harm to the building to gain entry. He may be running out of buildings to explore, so it might be best to dive deep into the archives. Some of the photos are tremendous and he's a fine observser & writer.

Is the 1st time SW MO State has been mentioned in the same sentence as Stanford? This is like the 7th "study" where my Alzheimer's inflicted mom has bucked the trend. From my own ridiculously small sample I think they have March & June mixed up. At least they didn't try to pick the months born in most likely to aquire toe nail fungus.

Thanks for the "no spoiler" reivew. I'm going to try to catch this one on the big screen. Hey, if the scenery in Lawrence deserves it why not this?

(No offense to Chuck but) while his cover may be lacking in comparison I think the music is just a wee bit better than that Montrose album. ← Well, yeah, but "Jump On It" is the message here! ← With a cover like that who has time to read!

(No offense to Chuck but) while his cover may be lacking in comparison I think the music is just a wee bit better than that Montrose album. Given the great personal sacrifice (a good chuck of your album collection to finance this right?) made to put out this release a big congrats to Mr. Nessa!

I like that one and 6/18 Louisville too. ← <insert picture of Homer drooling> Rather than get upset at how the 1st 4 songs at Louisville have sound problems treat it as educational. There's a moment where all you can hear is Bob's guitar and Billy's drums as they constantly search for the right mix (or just flat out having problems.) It's fascinating (ok, maybe a bit frustrating ) to hear the different instruments & vocals in isolation. Most of June '74 feels like floating in a warm ocean. Great place to be!
