I really like "Jumping in the Sugar Bowl". A fun, joyful record. The title track in particular -- "... from Miss Myer's recollection of a childhood game of the same name in which all of the kids would gather in a circle with arms interlocked and jump together rhythmically while chanting 'Jumpin' in the sugar bowl, jump jump jump'...". Also some great drumming by Reggie Nicholson, especially on the really burnin' up-tempo sections of "Cecil B".

I didn't know it was available again. It disappeared a few years ago. Where do you get it? Check your email.

White Horse scotch, neat. A very nice blend. Did a blind taste test with Johnnie Walker Black, and while it was easy to tell the difference (there's a creaminess to the White Horse that's not in the JWB), I am preferring the far less expensive Horse. At least for right now. YMMV.

JWB neat.

I find that taking the "wheelie bin" out on Thursday evenings is so much more fun and glamorous than just taking out the trash.

I generally like Founder's beer, especially their Centennial IPA. But that All Day IPA is horrible.

Eponymous G is my favorite rapper.

Stoned or not stoned wouldn't matter here -- our cat would KICK MY ASS if I tried to put him in a shark suit. The razor sharp talons of doom would insure no humiliating shark suit, and the a happy future for the duck isn't exactly guaranteed, either.

Dog=OK. Cat in Shark Suit=

I will always have a soft spot for Snurdy McGurdy and her Dancin' Shoes (Nessa). My first exposure to his Mr. Mitchell's music, and at the time, I had never heard anything quite like it. It took me awhile to "get" it... but to this day, "Sing Song" gives me chills. The slow yet relentless building that finally releases at 6:24 is one of my all-time favorite musical moments. Great idea for a thread, looking forward to more responses. Edited to add: the alternate take of "Ornette" on Sound is also a favorite. The cello.... YES!!!

I bought "The Raven" and "Get All You Deserve" a few weeks ago, and I'm just stunned. Beautiful music. The right music at the right time for me. Dark, but also much more than just that. The imagery, the videos... all are doing a lot for me, at least for now. I've had "Grace for Drowning" for a long time now. These new recordings made me appreciate Grace much more than before.

Me, too. Sure doesn't seem like that long ago. But you made the surreal dinner and Buffalo Wild Wings. LOL Yep!

Me, too. Sure doesn't seem like that long ago.

Rudresh Mahanthappa - Samdhi First CD I've purchased from a real brick-n-mortar store in a very long time. Still not sure what to think about this one, it will need repeated spins. I usually love anything that Rudresh does, but this one confused me on first pass.

I received the $1 credit as well. I downloaded Bonnie Raitt's new one. Not many surprises, but overall, pretty good.

Google seems to work well -- just search as usual, but add "site:organissimo.org" to the end of the search (without the quotes). For example: hat site:organissimo.org "All Things Hat" shows up as the seventh hit, but most of the ones above that are related to Hat recordings.

I'm in. Thanks, Jim!!!

I'd rather see Steven Tyler in a damn Burger King commercial. Now THAT shit is palpable. Just kidding... Foo Fighters are a good band. I lost all interest in SNL a long time ago, but will check this one out...

It was the 70's disco phase that got me hooked, and I went backwards to the 60's from there. Sometimes that 70's stuff is exactly what I want to hear. Other times, no so much. Either way, well crafted pop music. RIP Robin.

AWESOME!!!!!

Thanks!!!!
