  1. I hate Keith Emerson...I like Greg Lake...but Emerson REALLY makes my teeth soft. I can definitely hear the jazz influence in Don Airey (an underrated player imo).
  2. It's been nice knowing you Jake Plummer...hope you enjoy riding the bench for the rest of the season... The Chiefs have a DEFENSE! Larry Johnson is flat out scary toting the rock...157 yards against Denver's formerly stout D. Guilty Pleasure of Thursday...watching Joey Harrington put the smack down on his old team.
  3. Impressive game yesterday! I'm sure he'll experience a "meltdown game" at some point...but right now he's amazingly solid. That Giants game will tell the tale, if they survive that game then I see a long run through the post season...

    AnitaO'Day dies

    This one really hurts. Anita was more than a "vocalist", she was a master improviser. There should be a picture of her beside "Hip" in the dictionary. Rest In Peace.
  5. Marty will find a way............................... Browns fans are so t-e-s-t-y.
  6. After watching the Giants self-destruct on MNF...I would say Dallas is poised to win the division. Can they beat Chicago? Even bigger question: Can they beat San Diego? Can ANYBODY beat San Diego?
  7. I think Romo is the real deal. I'll admit that I was wrong in my initial blame on the offensive line of the Cowboys...but now it seems obvious that they CAN block for the quarterback...it's just that now they WANT to block for Romo. When the line doesn't respect the quarterback...he's going to be looking skyward alot... Romo is not only calm on the field, but he's also showing poise in his dealings with the media, etc. I think he has what it takes to succeed. I have this strange feeling that somebody else will be kicking next week....
  8. C'mon woman...I've got cottenmouth like a mutha...
  9. 36 Years old...and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.... All I've been able to figure out is things that I DON'T want to do...
  10. up with a few more titles.
  11. I like the title "Doin' Time at the Junkie Label".
  12. Another classic from "The Sangrinator"
  13. Up. Added 5 titles.
  14. I would also use the term cult classic to describe this film. Jim is correct that it's fairly sloppy in it's execution (although the insane cutting by the movie studio is partially to blame) and not all of the actors are up to snuff. I like the movie for it's atmosphere and because it tried to do something that most people wouldn't even attempt to tackle (at least at the time). People still classify this as a horror film which is innacurate...you could almost call it "anti-horror". As for Alexander's comment...I thought it was hilarious. So burn me at the stake! LOL
  15. Tyrone Washington - The TRAINWRECK Donald Byrd - Pinto! Donald Byrd - The Cat Box Lou Donaldson - Everything I Wear Is Funky! (broken washing machine remix) Grant Green - The Bottom Of The Barrel (original title of First Session) Andrew Hill - Sinking Ships Hank Mobley - No Room For Parallelograms Jimmy Smith - Home Grown Big John Patton - Blue Balls Horace Silver - The Godzilla Blues Stanley Turrentine - Gets 'Em Wet
  16. OH MY GOD!!!!!! This gets my "Thread Of The Year" award...
  17. If I don't get a better paying job soon...I'll sell ya mine!
  18. Yep...needless to day I WON'T be using that particular location again. I'll drive the 5 miles into town...
  19. The local post office (which is definitely dark ages) returned a batch of discs I had mailed out...for no reason that they can figure out. So I am re-sending them today. I apologize for the inconvenience, Shawn
  20. You know who I feel sorry for? Romo. This guy gets thrown directly to the sharks, with no offensive line to protect him, a bunch of ego-hungry recievers whining for the ball and I'm sure that as soon as he makes a few mistakes...he'll get benched and Bledsoe will be back. It's going to take a miracle for the Cowboys to get into the post-season this year. Too many other good teams out there.
  21. A set I highly recommend: The classic Hammer "re-imaginings" of the Universal cycle, quite risque when released...not very shocking by today's standards, but still skillful and VERY entertaining. Perfect balance of suspense and dry British wit. Curse Of Frankenstein - the film that started it all. Cushing is perfect as the doc and Lee's monster (which looks like walking road kill) is convincing and very sympathetic. The secondary "romantic leads" are a bit of a distraction..but thankfully they have minimal screen time. Horror Of Dracula - the cream of the crop. Lee became forever etched in our brains as Dracula thanks to this movie and it's many sequels. No wonder...he ROCKS in the part. Fast paced script makes liberal changes to the Stoker novel...but you won't care because it's too much fun while it's rollin' along. Cushing is dynamite here, balancing his character with liberal doses of humor. The Mummy - a favorite from childhood. Cushing is the archeologist...Lee is the resurrected (and highly pissed off) dude in bandages. Make some popcorn and enjoy. The included sequels are high quality as well. Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed is the best, crackerjack horror flick dealing with body swapping. Taste The Blood of Dracula & Dracula Has Risen From The Grave are both well made though suffering from less than stellar screenplays (though Lee makes them worthwhile).
  22. This is an essential set, whether you're a fan of the macabre or not. These films were a training ground for immense talent (Jacques Tourneur, Robert Wise, etc), offered GREAT roles to a couple of the most mis-used actors of the era (Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi) and were immaculate in all other areas as well. Far from B-Movie quality as you can get...these were art house films before the art house existed. The cinematography on films like I Walked.. and The Leopard Man is amazing considering the non-existent budget. Don't let the titles fool you either... Curse Of The Cat People is a touching little fantasy film, perfect for Sunday afternoon watching with the family. I Walked With A Zombie is a variation on Jane Eyre. Bedlam is a historical drama. Isle Of The Dead is a wonderful examination of superstition and paranoia brought on by the horrors of war. The Seventh Victim is easily the first "mature" look at satanic cults. Highly recommended.
  23. All discs in excellent condition, all prices include shipping in the U.S. The Adderleys: Cannonball & Nat (Savoy Jazz) (contains That's Nat & Bohemia After Dark alternate takes) - $9 Thanks Gang. Shawn
  24. added Dodo Greene - My Hour Of Need and Booker Ervin - Structurally Sound
