I grew up with all of my moms 45s. My favorite was The Peppermint Twist by Joey Dee and the Starlighters. I love that Roulette label. Thank you Morris Levy! I still have all my 45s. I'll dig though the box later and list some of the really bad and goofy ones.

I think this quote from last year just about sums it up. Fuck Off Musicboy!

Don't work too hard on that tub, Jim. I don't think your wife will be able to take a soak until the cesarian incision heals. My wife had c-sections with both our boys.

WOW! Been off the board all weekend and came back to see this great news! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! She's beautiful. As the proud parent of 2 young children, I must tell you. You are in for some of the most special days of your life in the months to come.

Couw, that is hilarious! Does Chuck have any AEC sets left?

Excellent work, Alex! Quite sneaky for you to include an iTunes exclusive track!

Hey Brandon, Apple updated their laptops today! Here is what I came up with at the Apple Store For Education. • 1GHz PowerPC G4 • 512K L2 cache @ 1GHz • 12-inch TFT Display • 1024x768 resolution • 256MB DDR266 SDRAM • ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 • 32MB DDR video memory • AirPort Extreme ready • 256MB DDR266 SDRAM built-in • 60GB Ultra ATA drive • Combo drive (DVD/CD-R) • Keyboard/Mac OS X - U.S. English • APP for iBook - Enrollment Kit Subtotal $1,249.00 What a GREAT deal!

There are going to be speed bumps in all the Apple laptops next week, so if you can wait a few days, i'd do it. What models are you looking at? The 12" screen or larger? I think the 14" iBook is currently the sweet spot. I like the little 12" books, but the larger screens are the way to go. $1,299.00 933MHz PowerPC G4 256K L2 cache @ 933MHz 14-inch TFT Display 1024x768 resolution 256MB DDR266 SDRAM 40GB Ultra ATA drive Combo Drive ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 32MB DDR video memory Again, this model will probably be a 1 gig processor or better for the same price in a few weeks. Or, if you are going for cheap, you may want to consider a refurbished model. http://www.smalldog.com/product/12651819

This thread has turned into a Chick tract!

Funny Rat, anyone? http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=5071

I wouldn't worry about it too much. There is no way to keep everyone happy. It'll drive you crazy if you let it.

Yes, you can search from the beginning. The Organissimo forums started in March, 2003.

AOKI HUNSINGER JARMAN Trio I found this at my local used CD emporium and decided to take a chance. It's a interesting and introspective set. I'm impressed with Hunsinger. I hadn't heard any of her work until now. Good stuff! ***LINK***

Tell us what we did now to offend you. If you like drama so much, go watch a soap opera.

What AB said. Os Mutantes! This is a compilation, but probably the easiest to find.

Oh crap, Stefan! I forgot about this. Didn't you send me a PM a while back? I'll hook you up. Just send me a new PM with your address.

Oustanding compilation, Alexander! Received my disc on Saturday. Just finished typing my thoughts at work today. Here goes... Track 1 - I recognize the melody. Ah Ha! Body & Soul. Very interesting pianist. Just when I think I have him/her pegged, he/she goes and does something that throws me off. The runs remind me of Jessica Williams. Track 2 - More piano. No idea. 1920s stuff. Nice clarinet work. Kind of plodding, but still swinging. Earl Hines? This is growing on me as it progresses. Track 3 - Must be a piano theme here. No clue on this track. Obviously a recent recording. Some nice moments here and there, but not something i'd be likely to pick up. Track 4 - Sounds like Beiderbecke's 'In A Mist', but I don't think this is it. Maybe another of his piano compositions? I like this very very much. Gotta pick this one up. Track 5 - Satin Doll. Drunk Satin Doll! Weird loopy take on the melody. Again, not a favorite, but interesting at times. Sounds like an alternate take. Track 6 - I like the way you alternate between old and new Piano trios. This is more like it. Fun tune. I'll pick this one up too. Early Oscar Peterson? Not enough grunting to be OP. God? The God from Toledo that is. Track 7 - I recognize this melody too, but its not coming to me. Ellington tune? Could be Ellington solo. Or maybe Strayhorn. Track 8 - Another recognizeable melody that isn't coming to mind. Very good stuff. I'll look out for this one too. Track 9 - Back to the old stuff. J.P. Johnson? I am really digging the stride like stuff. Quite the instrumentalist! Track 10 - Blackbird. Not sure who, but it wouldn't take long looking at AMG to figure it out. Nice interpretation. Track 11 - Someday My Prince Will Come. Not sure of the pianist, but I hear some weird vocal sounds so my guess is Jarrett. Nice interpretation. I just wish he wouldn't do that! Track 12 - Outstanding solo TS. Track 13 - I like this quirky melody. Very swingin! John Hicks? I'll have to find this one too....*sigh* Track 14 - Another great performance. I'm running out of guesses! Nice balance of grease and dexterity. Track 15 - I recognize this, but after 15 tracks of critical listening, my brain is letting me down. Is this 'Yesterdays'? Beautiful rendition. Another must have. I really enjoyed this Blindfold test, Alexander. A great collection of pianists and a wonderful listen. I'm sure this will get extended plays on my iPod. Thank you!

GREAT record, but definitely not a traditional Blue Note release. This ended up on Blue Note because of corporate mergers. A collection of longer unreleased outtakes that didn't really fit elsewhere. City - Country - City is one of my faves. Really captures the feel of 70s L.A.

I thought about going for Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, but Johnny Damon might want that user name. So I am now Irwin Mainway! Who was I before? I compiled Blindfold Test 8. Mainway Inc.

Donnie Iris - Love Is Like A Rock

I was visiting another music forum the other day when I stumbled across a thread about OBI strips and Japanese CD's. Someone wanted to know if keeping the OBI strips made the cd's more 'collectible'. I remembered that shrugs made a joke here a while back that he smoked the OBI strips. So, I posted a silly comment about using the strips to roll OBI-Doobies. Well, I received a private message from one of the admins that he deleted my post. Since we have a lot of young folks that frequent the forum, [we] felt it was necesary to remove your post in this thread, in the interest of maintaining the Forum's "family friendly" atmosphere. Gimme a break! It really made me appreciate the freedom that Jim gives us here. B3-er, thanks for running this place with a laissez-faire philosphy. VIVA Organissimo! VIVA Organissimo Forums!

I'll second this recommendation! The compositions on this CD really stick with you after repeated listenings. 'Martha's Prize' is my favorite tune on the disc as well Dr. J.

Nice Shatner Dynasty! You have to change the name of the Alice Coltrane record to Journey In Shatnerdananda!

I finally remember who Cat Shatner brings to mind! Have you ever seen the work of Neon Park? He did a bunch of album covers for the band Little Feat. See the image below. Also, Cat Shatner could be at home in the work of Donald Roller Wilson!
