I bought every Soft Machine LP as it was released. I'm definitely up for getting these five on CD. Thanks for the heads up!

After trying out with Washington and Detroit, Justin Medlock has signed with the Argos. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/medlock-returns-to-argos/article1708848/

Happy Birthday 2010 gslade!

Thanks Jim. That's plenty for me for now. I've just finished listening to the Sonny Rollins New Paultz concert. After that, I've no desire to hear more!

Foley has had a change of heart. He never signed the contract with the Lions, and he has decided to go with the Argos. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/foley-snubs-lions-in-favour-of-argos/article1707849/

Any idea how many hours a non-member can listen to a month before he is cut off?

Happy Birthday 2010 Dan!

Winnipeg Blue Bombers 31....Saskatchewan Roughriders 2 http://scoreboards.canoe.ca/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=canoe&page=cfl/scores/final/recap.aspx?id=871 During the pre-game show, Carm Carteri said that the Riders had a terrible flight to Winnipeg the night before. A trip that should have taken one hour took over four hours, and they didn't check into their hotel until 2:00 am. Then they had a 6:00 am wake up call. So the Roughriders were playing on four hours sleep. That was never mentioned again during the broadcast, but you have to think that that explains why the lowly Bombers were able to get off to a 24-1 halftime lead playing their second string QB Stephen Jyles.

Calgary Stampeders 36....Edmonton Eskimos 20 http://scoreboards.c.../final/W868.htm Surprisingly, the Eskimos made it interesting in the first half. They even led much of the second quarter. Joffrey Reynolds passed Kelvin Anderson to become the Stampeders' all-time rushing leader. Arkee Whitlock got hurt on Labor Day, and this week he was placed on the nine-game injured list. So that should mean he is done for the season. ***** Montreal Alouettes 27....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 6 http://scoreboards.c.../final/W869.htm The Ticats were one game behind the Als, playing at home, with Calvillo hurt. They were dreaming of winning the game and being tied for first place with a five-game winning streak. Unfortunately, those four consecutive wins came against the Bombers and the Argos, and thus the Ticats are suspect as well. Kevin Glenn had a bad day. He was replaced in the third by Quinton Porter who was even worse. On the other hand, Adrian McPherson is back from the injured list and started for the Als, and had a good game. McPherson is tired of playing behind Calvillo, and he is playing out his option. ***** British Columbia Lions 37....Toronto Argonauts 16 http://scoreboards.c.../final/W870.htm Geroy Simon passed Ray Elgaard for fifth place on the league's all-time pass reception list.

Lovely bride!

BeBop, have you considered getting an eBook reader? There are a number of magazines available for it, including America's best selling short story magazine, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. I subscribe to Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, and one good thing about it is that there is no reason to throw an issue away until you have read it all. My nephew gave me a subscription to Culture Wars Magazine, which is certainly different. The premise is that Western culture was better when Christians ruled the day during the Middle Ages and the Rennaissance, and most issues are devoted to how the most influential non-Christians of the last two hundred years have been bad influences.

I had no idea!

I considered including vinyl to the poll, and I guess I should have. It looks like some people are commenting without voting!

This is the time of year when last place teams make lots of changes. Two Blue Bomber speculations: 1) Buck Pierce dislocated his throwing arm elbow against the Riders, and may be lost for the season. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/elbow-injury-could-end-pierces-season/article1699872/ 2) The Bombers would like to sign Jesse Lumsden! http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=333084

I was surprised to see on another board I am a member of that the majority of people there listen to music with MP3s rather than CDs, so I thought I would ask here. (They have ripped most of their CD collection to MP3s.) Does the majority of your listening come via MP3s or CDs?

British Columbia Lions 38....Montreal Alouettes 17 http://scoreboards.canoe.ca/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=canoe&page=cfl/scores/final/recap.aspx?id=864 Former Florida star Chris Leak started his first pro game for the Als, and didn't fare very well. However, it wasn't his fault that the Lions were able to score 38 points. Ricky Santos played the fourth quarter, and led the Als to two TDs. Leak injured his hip, and will not play this week. Adrian McPherson is coming off the injured list, so he will start, and Santos will back him up. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=333005 ***** Saskatchewan Roughriders 27....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 23 http://scoreboards.canoe.ca/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=canoe&page=cfl/scores/final/recap.aspx?id=865 The Bombers hung tough the whole game. Buck Pierce was injured again. ***** Hamilton Tiger-Cats 28....Toronto Argonauts 13 http://scoreboards.canoe.ca/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=canoe&page=cfl/scores/final/recap.aspx?id=866 The Ticats took a two-TD lead, but it looked like the Argos would come back. However, the Ticats defense stymied them in the fourth. ***** Calgary Stampeders 52....Edmonton Eskimos 5 http://scoreboards.canoe.ca/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=canoe&page=cfl/scores/final/recap.aspx?id=867 The Eskimos were just brutal. The 47 point margin sets the record for games between these two arch-rivals.

Mina Cho is a 28-year old (woman) pianist and composer from Seoul, South Korea, who graduated last year from Berklee. She has recorded an album of her songs called Originality. I like it a lot. It's a little bit third stream, but not too much. The band is made up of piano, sax, guitar, bass and drums. The rhythms are varied. The melodies are not hummable but are very pleasant to listen to. The final track is a male vocal. I've found a link to it where you can sample it here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/MinaCho

Trombonist Conrad Herwig has released albums of latinized arrangements of the compositions of John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Wayne Shorter. Now he has a new album called The Latin Side of Herbie Hancock. The album was recorded in concert at the Blue Note in August of 2008. The band includes Eddie Palmieri and Randy Brecker. I'm not the biggest fan of latin music, and it took me a few listens before I became accustomed to the disc. Now I have grown to like it a lot, as something different in my collection. Some of the songs, such as Maiden Voyage, Cantaloupe Island and Watermelon Man, lend themselves quite easily to the latin treatment. Others, such as The Sorcerer, are a bit of a stretch. Herwig's last album, the Wayne Shorter, got some good airplay on Sirius, and I expect that this will as well.

Happy Birthday sidewinder! Time to dig out that Four Freshmen Mosaic!

Since I got my new ISP without a cap, I've been listening to a lot of AccuJazz. I especially enjoy the vibes, Blue Note, 50s and 60s channels.
