  3. I've never heard of that, Jazzjet. I'll take a look.

  5. TTK, I gave that one to my sister for Christmas many years ago, and she never mentioned it to me. I'll have to bring that up to her!
  6. Happy Birthday 2015 Free For All!

  8. Happy Birthday jazztrain!
  9. Well, I downloaded Opera. I clicked on the button to transfer my bookmarks, but it didn't happen as far as I can tell.
  10. jlh, strictly speaking censorship occurs when it is the government which is acting. I gather that since the Terminiello decision places the burden on the police to ensure the safety, in the US the situation would indeed be considered censorship.
  11. Thanks, guys. I quit using IE many years ago because I read that there are far more viruses for it than other browsers.
  12. I've been using Firefox for a number of years, and I've found that I've been having a lot of problems the past few months with everything freezing up. I'm thinking about making a change. What do you think is currently the best-performing browser? Opera? Something else? Thanks!
  13. Twenty years ago I visited a shop that sold Linn equipment. At one point the Linn rep who was in town gave me an A-B comparison. I could hear a difference, but I wasn't sure which of the two I preferred.
  14. RIP. I remember him well from BS&T.
  15. The End Sure, but are we comparing a $100 CD player with a $100 turntable, or are we comparing a $1,000 CD player with a $1,000 turntable?
  16. My introduction to George Coleman was his marathon session with Chet Baker, and I still associate him with that first.
  17. The Shield - Complete Series - $24.99 http://www.amazon.com/The-Shield-Complete-Collection/dp/B00DJYJRHG I've never seen this show. Is it good, or am I confusing it with another show called The Wire?
  18. My first thought is that those old Miles recordings are from the pre-hi-fi days, right? I wonder the extent to which their sound can be improved. PS - I also note that the Amazon page says that the Herbie item is "Blue Note (Universal)." I'm confused. I thought that Universal sold all their EMI recordings except The Beatles and Robbie Williams to Warner.
  19. I saw Stan Getz's quartet (with Dave Holland on bass) in Boston just a few weeks after the Montreux session. I enjoyed it!
  20. Happy Birthday 2015 Bhreandain!

  23. That's great that you were mentioned, Chuck! I've never associated DeJohnette and Braxton with AACM. I learned something.
  24. Not too long ago there was an op/ed in the WSJ which I tore out to read later but haven't yet, about a concept called "the heckler's veto." The idea was much like this case. Here it is, from Dec. 29, behind a paywall. http://www.wsj.com/articles/barry-a-fisher-free-speechs-shrinking-circle-of-friends- There was a 1949 US Supreme Court case called Terminiello v. Chicago which said that the police have the duty to protect the speaker from the protesters.
  25. I like Christmas music a lot, but this is too much for me. An Albany station Wednesday changed its format to year-round Christmas music! And you too can listen to it on the internet! http://www.syracuse.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2015/03/upstate_new_york_radio_station_now_plays_christmas_music_all_year_long.html http://santa1057.com/listen-live/
