  1. It's been thirty years since I've seen it, but as I recall Kovacs did a trick photography thing of filing cabinet drawers opening and closing in rhythm to an Esquivel recording.
  2. My earliest musical memory (from the early 50s) is listening to my parents' record of the Three Suns' Twilight Time.
  3. Thanks Kevin. I'll take some time to do that later this evening.
  4. Guys, I use Windows 2000. There is no firewall that I know about. Where do I go to find "system restore"?
  5. Thanks guys. I use Firefox. At your suggestions I went to the Tools/Options/Privacy and saw that both "Accept cookies" and "Accept third-party cookies" were checked. Any other ideas?
  6. About ten years ago I bought a CD compilation of his on RCA called something like Space Age Bachelor Pad Music. I enjoy it and can recommend it. But having that one, I've never been moved to get another.
  7. Me too, Valerie. Also, there were a number of categories that I wasn't sure of who did what in the past year. I guess I haven't been in touch the past year as much as I have been. Mostly I listen to Sirius, and they don't play much new music.
  8. Last week while I was logged onto the internet, we had a brief power outage here. I started up the computer, and ever since have had a problem. All of the forums I visit fail to recognize me, and require that I log in. This is so even though I always check the "remember me" box. Any ideas? Thanks!
  9. RIP. Clave, can you think of any of his songs that were recorded by any of the Verve artists?
  10. You can now vote for this year's Down Beat Readers Poll here: http://www.downbeat.com/ Click on the area by the number "73" in the upper left. I think the deadline is a week or so away.
  11. I have no opinion regarding any of the individuals named in this thread. However, I have noticed over the years that when a magazine or TV show does something about the idea of black artists of the fifties not being paid the royalties due them, the examples used were always Atlantic artists. As I recall, these items never mentioned Atlantic by name. The point was never to single out one label. Usually the point made was that these artists weren't paid what they were owed when their records were selling, and now they are old and broke and could use money. Still, I found it odd that it was always Atlantic artists who were the subjects of the profiles.
  12. Congratulations Ed! Hope to see you posting here again more often.
  13. Montreal Alouettes 32....Toronto Argonauts 14 http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home I heard the fourth quarter in my car listening to Sirius, and it was pretty boring.
  14. This reminds me of everyone's favorite joke when we were in sixth grade: What do you call a tired guy from southern Germany? A bushed Bavarian!!!!
  15. Could someone please post the cover of If's fifth album, which was called Double Diamond?
  16. Fred Williams Week 8 preview http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform...aspx?id=4171971 ***** Winnipeg Blue Bombers 37....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 24 http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home Kevin Glenn called his own plays for the first time in his pro career. Charles Roberts rushed for 100 yards for the first time this season.
  17. Happy Birthday SS!
  18. Yes indeed! I didn't know that he was under-rated in Britain. In the US, his name is unknown.
  19. BClug, I believe that Printers has yet to throw a TD pass! Fortunately for him, much of the money of his three-year contract was paid up front. ***** The Bombers held a players-only meeting due to the ruckus caused by the Troy Westwood article mentioned above. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Win...435901-sun.html
  20. Welcome back MG! Big news! While you were gone, Organissimo released a new CD! I'll be interested to hear how the missus' investigations turn out.
  21. Their albums were pretty spectacular, well worth the import prices you'll pay for them in the USA. Would have loved to see them live. felser, I saw them live on consecutive nights in the fall of '70 - the first night in a small club, and the second night at the Univ. of Maryland (I think in their gym). The first night they let me tape their show. Unfortunately, I haven't seen that tape in decades. Great shows!
  22. I noticed the other day that suddenly everyone is spelling the first name of the Ticats QB Richie rather than Ritchie. He must have put out the word regarding how it should be spelled. Here is a list of the Riders injuries: The defending Grey Cup champions sit atop the West Division with a 6-1 mark, suffering their first loss of the season last week to Calgary 30-25. But the Riders lost two more players to injury in that game as offensive lineman Belton Johnson suffered a broken fibula (the fourth Saskatchewan player to sustain that injury this year) and cornerback Omarr Morgan also left the game with an unspecified injury and didn't return. What's more amazing, though, is Saskatchewan being 6-1 despite a plethora of injuries. Included among the club's walking wounded are: receivers T.J. Acree (foot), Carl Berman (torn Achilles), Matt Dominguez (knee), Andy Fantuz (broken leg), D.J. Flick (broken leg), Chris Getzlaf (undisclosed) and David McKoy (knee), quarterbacks David Tate (shoulder) and Darian Durant (ribs), defensive end John Chick (knee), running back Neal Hughes (broken leg), defensive backs Leron Mitchell (broken leg), James Johnson (concussion) and Denatay Heard (knee), offensive linemen Glenn January (leg bruise), Jean Francois Morin-Roberge (undisclosed) and Marc Parenteau (knee) and linebacker Kevin Scott (undisclosed). http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home
  23. Jason Armstead has joined the Bombers. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Win...423766-sun.html
