  1. Financial problems of course derailed my collector bug...but at some point during my self-imposed exile from collecting...I began to lose interest in it. Since January I think I might have bought about 5 CDs, none of them jazz...I used to not be able to go through a week without buying stuff, but it doesn't really hit me anymore. Part of "getting out of the habit" was not paying much attention to what is being released, if I don't know about it, I'm not going to miss it. I'd much rather spend money on social things now, instead of buying a CD to listen to, I'll go see a band instead.
  2. Cool lookin' guitar. Nothing wrong with affordable instruments, they can be easily upgraded with better pickups if you decide to go that route. Back in the 80s/early 90s I had a cheap Charvel/Jackson guitar that I bought for about $150. It was a GREAT guitar and better than many others more than twice it's price. I eventually invested in a switchable Seymour/Duncan pickup. Loved that guitar.
  3. Heck with you guys, I went to SXSW the entire week and had a blast!
  4. Is that the store with the poor, over-priced selection run by the creepy guy whose leering at you with bad intent?
  5. Quite a few places to get vinyl in Austin (End Of An Ear, Waterloo, Encore, etc). Though as light as my pocketbook has been for the past year I haven't really bought any.
  6. I have to disagree about A Caddy For Daddy...that's one of my favorite Mobley albums from the period. It's worth owning for the song "The Morning After" alone.
  7. I just listened to this one (on LALA), really liked it.
  8. Isn't it Yusef Lateef on that record?
  9. I've always avoided, one benefit of moving around constantly for most of my life. When i do get called, my only answer will be "FRY EM ALL!".
  10. He needs to return, will give me a reason to start spinning more soul jazz discs!
  11. I think that feature is called "Tool Tips" or something like that (I assume you're talking about Windows).
  12. The original series was great, of the "sequels" I only really got into Next Generation...very good show that was ended too quickly.
  13. .mp3 encoders have improved so much over the years. With the correct settings it should be almost impossible to tell the difference between the source and the .mp3 file...even on good systems.
  14. Bones - Season 1 & 2
  15. HOTTER THAN HELL
  16. Right now...coffee cake & a latte.
  17. He's NOT lying! Aha! So that's where those discs I bought from Shawn came from! Nope. But I did leave one of my discs there and realized I would never find it so I gave up. LOL
  18. I only have jewel cases for about 1/4 of my collection, the rest have been in boxes for the past 5 years. I've been slowly loading them onto external hard drives, I let software arrange them for me.
  19. Which is why I never get tired of it. I've been really burnt out on the typical "hard bop" dates for several years now...but albums like this are always a pleasure to hear.
  20. R.I.P. Ed and thanks for the memories! ...but WHO IS GOING TO DELIVER MY PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE CHECK NOW???
  21. I was always partial to toking, cranking Black Sabbath and watching old Godzilla movies on TV with the sound turned off.
  22. Mobley recorded so few Quartet sessions, that by itself makes this one a "must own".
