Quincy

*Edited 2 years later when rereading this thread. Yazoo redid the Skip James so get Hard Times Killing Floor instead as it sounds better than the one mentioned below. Lots of great stuff mentioned and I've used J.A.W., Paul Secor and other forum members' recs for my own hunting. I'm just popping in to push a favorite: The Complete Early Recordings Of Skip James (on Yazoo.) This album is akin to when you first try acid and want everyone to try it, or at least that's how it hit me. Which was pretty cool cause it had been a long time since I had had that feeling. Yazoo is a high quality label btw.

I had forgotten how relatively young (just in his 50s) he was when he stopped managing. If had he been born 10 years later he could still be managing as Torre, La Russa and Leyland are all still at it in their mid-60s & older. Then again had he kept going he may have dropped dead from a heart attack in an argument with an ump. I would love to have an uncensored channel with game commentary from Earl, be it him watching a broadcast with Joe Morgan in the booth or just on his own.

That's mine too. I kinda expected this which is my excuse for adding a few more discs to more order, figuring that they might not be able to fill the order in full.

Yup, the first one especially. It's only been recently that I've been able to fry eggs in peace. If I mention this bit of news I'll be hounded again next time. What to do, what to do...

Its etymology may go back to The Outlaw Josey Wales. Clint's character says "I'll kick you so hard you'll be wearing your ass as a hat." Not sure who picked it up from there though. South Park has featured the term as well. Googling asshat and etymology gets quite a few hits (haven't checked 'em all out myself.)

The clip that's "floating around the internet" can be bought on the superb Jazz Icons DVD. Unlike some music DVDs I find I tend to play the Jazz Icon ones more as they usually capture excellent performances. They also either clean up the video better than competing sources or are closer to the master, as evident by the Monk and Mingus DVDs (which had been previously released.) The Coltrane (surprise) is highly recommended.

Throw in Andruw Jones coming off a 3 home run game, and Felix pitching tonight! Great to have winning baseball back in Seattle.

Well we know where Michael was when he was buried... There's a thread about James Brown's death. Also a betters ones concerning his music. I wouldn't read too much into R.I.P. thread length as interest in the artist, as I think sometimes people don't know what to say beyond "loved the music & death sucks," so why bother posting that. And sometimes things go off on tangents.

Of course. After all he was buried without a brain. He needs brains... As far as the garden snake, I think Paps is saying we are moles who have good reason to fear the garden snake. At least if it's a bull snake or other constrictor. I think what the behavioral scientists were saying is, we think the garden snake is the most important thing to pay attention to, but it really isn't. I think. Exactly, the zombies are the most important thing! I think the behavioral scientists are oblivious to how connected we all are. When people have home pages with news agency headlines, read multiple papers & news sources onlines, have RSS feeds and so forth, you become aware of all sorts of garden snakes, be it Paris Hilton and her little dogs or sex tapes, gossip about Michael and so forth. But it doesn't mean we're paying much attention to them. Just because one can answer a simple question (Paris made a sex tape, maybe more than one) doesn't mean you've studied it in depth as opposed to planning for retirement, reading up on the possible long-term implications of global warming and so forth.

I went with 3 but like 4 too. And I like the shade of brown. Such a shirt would bring out the remaining brown in my mostly grey hair.

I'm a little confused about that John Wright title. Oldies.com describes it as a "new release," and indicates that the label is Concord, but the Concord site only lists this--along with Wright's "South Side Soul"--as available as individual MP3 track downoads or as an "MP3 Album." Wonder what Oldies.com is selling--could it be a CDR of MP3s? I think what's going on is that the discounted discs are either going out of "physical" print or are older different masterings/packaging than what they now prefer to sell. (This is a long-winded way of saying they're discounting K2s of things that surely won't go out of print, though Chuck will probably scold me for such a foolish assumption .) I think I recognize a number of titles as part of the digital only catalog that were part of the $2.98 blow out sale of 2 (or 3?) years ago but aren't part of the oldies.com sale.

I tend to agree with this sentiment, but then again, think of the tens of millions of dollars that he likely paid in taxes to LA. I may be wrong about that though as perhaps he didn't pay to LA proper.

You'll be very happy that you did!

Might be the Alberston rules still in effect. Perhaps PM Larry Kart or Use3D with a link & request to delete the thread.

Couldn't "the drugs" (in the form of her DUII) just be pot? If so BFD. Her ex-boyfriend has a Facebook page with the slogan "never let anyone or anything come in between you and the one you love because when you do you lose everything." Damn, if only Facebook had been around when Barney Fife was deputy. What I find funny (strange & "ha ha") is how both CBS & ABC National News said McNair & the woman were "dating."

I'm really happy for the guy. If men end up getting on base and Mauer (or whoever is catching) can't handle it then they can just bring in another pitcher. They've added one more pitcher to the roster this year. By 2020 they'll probably have 50 man rosters and the managers will still have guilt trips over trying to get everyone into the game.

Wow, that was the most fun since the blowout a few years ago. Stopped after 19 titles. This time around blues and even a gospel made it into the order. Fantasy is more than just jazz...

I have. But it ended up being the player.

Hey, it's that Dwork! My Taping Compendiums are right below my feet, which are propped up on what functions as a coffee table and there's a small pile of important reference works (Penguin Jazz, Historical Atlas, etc.) or otherwise heavy books in a compartment. Though I'm no longer in fever collecting mode you just never know when you might want to know if xx/xx/xx had a particularly beefy "Other One" and so on, hence why they're just a slight stretch away. i'm officially confused. am i having a flashback? Ah, my apologies! We got you confused with John R. Dwork, coauthor of The Deadhead's Taping Compenium. I blame J.H. Deeley for starting this! I see that you are John Dworkin. Sorry 'bout that. Like the site you contribute to and thanks for the head's up.

The '71 Roadtrips is top notch too. It's a year I tend to overlook even though that was the year that introduced to the band live (via Skull & Roses.) A big bad Other One on there along with other goodness. It's another fine compilation. My only complaint about the latest is Road Trips is that it just came out, so I have to wait a couple of months or so to see what's next.

Happy birthdays y'all!

That's a neat trick. Wish it worked at certain social functions...And another vote cast.

Ah, Chicago style (sorta). Thanks for that tip. It's a nice picture by her too btw.
