Dub Modal

Had a yard sale 2 weeks ago. No vinyl but an older guy showed up looking for it. If I advertised vinyl I bet it'd be a pretty good cross section of demos that would show out, esp if I spelled out genres available That advertising by way of craigslist, FB, next door etc. really worked btw.

Lol this is hot garbage. Is this what traffics in hard right circles these days? Unfortunately I'm not surprised. I feel sorry for you and anyone fooled by this nonsense. Dennis Prager is a fucking joke as is every blowhard sitting on those plush leather couches. They don't give a shit about democracy, just how they can fleece gullible ignoramouses and line their pockets. You're doing their publicity for them homie. If they're not giving you a check then you're a sucker.

Just to note I don't live in Beantown and don't pull for the Red Sox. Just went because that's what tourists do, esp in an old ball park like theirs.

About a year pre-Covid I went to a Red Sox game over Labor Day where they played the 'stros. Those Houston fans travelled in impressive numbers and represented their team well. On the other hand I've been to a Phillies game in the standing room area and those fans are passionate, as most Philly fans are regardless of sport. Hope to see a good series.

Sold by the Chive. Per a comment at quora, Bill allowed them use of this pic (from a Paul Thomas Anderson movie I think) bc he liked their charity donations. So people who think it looks cool to have a sticker of Murray on their car post it up. I'd bet if said folks actually met him or ran into him they'd think twice about that.

Haven't seen the Coltrane sticker but it's derived from another bumper sticker about the Mummy, which said something like (and I'm paraphrasing here): "I'd rather be watching the cinematic masterpiece The Mummy starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz" - with the same sort of syntax and design as this Coltrane one. I'm surprised the GQ article doesn't mention that unless I missed it. Either way, I hope people end up buying/streaming Alice after seeing this.

Walter Zuber Armstrong's Alpha & Omega - Live from 1973 at Western Washington State College now Western Washington U in Bellingham, WA. Strong Pacific vibes on this one. I don't know much at all about the band: Dan O'Brien on bass, Michael-Ann Burnett - cello, Bill Grauss - drums, Martin Lund - piano with Mr. Armstrong turning in duties on bass clarinet, flute, alto & piccolo flute & percussion. Excellent album. Looks like it's never been reissued as it was on his own World Artists label. Armstrong passed in 1998.

I saw the 180 proof reissue in the bins yesterday. Passed on it but listening to the only track I can find streaming "Inside Ourselves". Good stuff. SQ on the LP reissue is supposed to be not great, but it may be the only reasonable way to hear this album unless the Japanese CD is that much better. Anyway, the title track is a nice morning tune.

From what I remember in his interviews, Evans seemed to prefer the trio setting as well. Seemed like he was always searching for that mind-meld that he and LaFaro had, and referenced trio settings as the only place he could really find that. I don't know a lot about it all, but I think LaFaro really pushed him both while playing and in life. Had LaFaro lived, he may have been successful in getting Evans off the junk and who knows what would've ended up happening at that point.

I bought all my Evans albums early on when starting to listen to jazz and for whatever reason I can hardly listen to them now. One of the exceptions is the material with Shelly Manne. The only box I got was the Fantasy one and thankfully at a hefty discount. I won’t be buying anymore in the near future.

When I first listened to this album I had a vision of Miles and Sly Stone going deep into this musical jungle and meeting up with Lee Perry. I never thought of it as controversial, but I never read Crouch either. Seems controversial would be saying that these loops and textures met the Mizell’s and formed a tributary to hip hop. I’m probably wrong though.

Wow. Snag it if you don’t have it

Going the horror route these days: Candyman remake/sequel - a must see Hellraiser 2 (super weird and pretty disgusting but also silly and campy - tighter editing esp toward the end would have helped) Creepshow 2 - terrible House - campy and kind of funny but also pretty bad More misses than hits with 70s/80s horror camp stuff but 'tis the season.

I don't know any of the behind the scenes stuff outside of what's generally available online via BN, wiki, etc.

Speaking of the Mizzel's, I don't think they've issued any of those BNs in the TP series, but have done 3(?) in their Classic reissue line. Maybe Joe Harley isn't a fan of them either. I like 'em and am a little surprised to read about how they've been controversial ever since first released. Guess since they're more tinged with jazz elements and not strictly jazz records coming from a font of hard bop that BN was, that is/was the issue - the main one at least.

Lol, You think they were Venutians?

Heads up for anyone interested, Real Gone Records has all of their in-stock Black Jazz LP titles on sale for $11.99: https://realgonemusic.com/collections/vinyl/black-jazz I've got the Pure Pleasure reissue LP of Nurnen and am very happy with it. No idea about tape provenance but I recommend this to anyone who wants an LP of this album. I've got a few Pure Pleasure reissues and am happy with them all FWIW. The only Real Gone LP I have is the reissue of Tapscott's The Giant Is Awakened and it's quality too.

Can definitely understand that. There’s no good reason to abandon a music library just for this. From the perspective of accessing these platforms via Droid, that aspect of YT Music is a real advantage unless one really loves podcasts. Spotify almost owns that market at this point.

Trying out YT Music and it’s a very similar interface compared to Spotify. One advantage is that YT can access “videos” of songs and albums that technically haven’t been released on other platforms, but uploaded to YT via users. Pretty big advantage I have to say as you can find stuff Apple and Spotify will likely never have.

Love this album and plan on picking this reissue up soon.

I don't have any Freddie Roach leader albums and don't listen to him often even though I love the B3. He was actually my 3rd guess but I left it with the two I mentioned b/c I didn't want 3 strikes already on the first song! There's more bass in there than I usually associate with Freddie even though I'm not overly familiar with him. I was aware of his R&B inflection but not much beyond that. I've got the Quebec Spring album he's on but admittedly I haven't listened to that one much at all. I'll have to revisit it and check out his other albums. This is one of the things I love about BFTs.

Freddie Roach? He was Prestige/BN exclusive pretty much.

Wasting all this on some Yum brands garbage.

Yeah, that actually worked. Very unexpected.

It’s a fun and eclectic mix. Definitely unexpected but enjoyable to listen to.
