I don't remember which album it's on but I always liked the song "Mediocre Fred". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEVyQ0syEX0

I only speak 'Murican. The language people speak in the West Virginia/Virginia/North Carolina region because actual English would be too difficult to master.

Yes, it's an excellent series. Not just good for a superhero show, but one of the better dramatic series I've seen this year. The series is run by Drew Goddard (Cabin In The Woods, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, LOST, Cloverfield) and Steven S. DeKnight (Angel, Smallville, Dollhouse, Spartacus). Already renewed for season 2.

The 40th anniversary editions have made those editions obsolete.

Happy pagan fertility festival to you all!

71 and sunny.

Over 80% of the water in California goes to agriculture, that's the side of the equation that needs to start having serious restrictions placed on it.

We've already had a couple small heat waves in March that broke high temperature records for this time of year. Hopefully not an omen for the summer.

The Dead Zone is another good King adaptation.

Amen. The Exorcist blew the book away. Interesting as William Peter Blatty also wrote the screenplay and won an Academy award for it, based on his novel.

I'm also hearing "Gong". You're the minor's gong or the minus gong or the minah's gong? Doesn't make a lick of sense, but I think she was looking for something to rhyme with "song" in the next line.

Released on or through Verve, good-to-excellent (or better) records by: Joe Henderson Shirley Horn Helen Merrill Abbey Lincoln Charlie Haden (both with and apart from Quartet West) Ornette Coleman Herbie Hancock Bobby Hutcherson Wayne Shorter J.J. Johnson Rodney Kendrick Jackie McLean McCoy Tyner Dewey Redman/Cecil Taylor/Elvin Jones Randy Weston All from the 1990s on. People might have good reasons for not buying some (or even all) of these, but "there wasn't anything worth considering" ain't gonna be one of them, Johnny Griffin - Chicago, New York, Paris (1995) Stanton Moore - Flyin' The Koop (2002)

I'm not defending them, I'm just stating the reality since all the major film studios and record labels are just part of huge corporate conglomerates. Sure, I wish it was still Metro Goldwyn Mayer instead of "Sony Pictures", but that's just not the reality any longer. Bemoaning what once was isn't going to change the present.

The movie industry focuses primarily on movies with commercial potential, the record industry focuses primarily on music with commercial potential. Since these are businesses that seems to me to be their primary reason for existing. Independent record labels and independent film studios are where most of the "art" comes from.

You mean managed by a label that focuses on music that actually has commercial potential and makes a profit?

All formats are tracked for record sale totals, makes not an iota of difference whether it's CD or LP.

Needed a break from anything remotely serious so I'm watching 30 Rock.

That's awesome!

I really wasn't exposed to jazz when i was growing up (70s/80s). None of my friends listened to it, nobody in my family listened to it and it really wasn't played anywhere. Around the late 80s when I was learning to play guitar I stumbled upon some fusion stuff like John McLaughlin and Al DiMeola but that was because I read about them in the guitar magazines I had subscriptions to. Fast forward to the late 90s and I ended up working in a used CD store with a couple guys that were major jazz fans. That was really the first time I had ever been directly exposed to it and my subsequent studying of the music lead me to the old Blue Note board and then here. But, if I had never gone to work in that store I may never have been exposed to it sufficiently to get interested in it.

I think you are thinking of Dr. Terror's House of Horrors. Amusingly for British viewers the trumpeter was played by Roy Castle, a light entertainer (and trumpeter) who presented a long-running children's series called Record Breakers. Tubby Hayes also makes an appearance. That's the one. RC was a pisser! I saw another 60s British horror flick the other day called "Corruption", with Peter Cushing wildly overacting the old 'mad surgeon trying to restore his wife's beautiful face by using the skin of other beautiful women' role (in other words, a rip-off of "Eyes Without a Face"). There's some wonderfully demented 'Twilight Zone Jazz' in the scene when Cushing and his wife are chasing the beatnik chick across the beach for what seems like an hour. Doctor Terror's House Of Horrors was one of my favorite horror anthology flicks when I was a kid. Loved all those Amicus productions.
