<Shrug> Can't blame others for your blind spot. or my own personal taste, you mean??

I was interested in the Lloyd until the 'Boys tune. Yuck. I have always hated them and their sickly poppish crap.

Those were good times, Greg. I just got around to reading this thread. Randy told me tonight at his Toledo gig with Gibbs and Rangell about the breakup. Joe spoke to me about nursing school last time he was in Toledo,and I never knew how imminent it was. I am now a registered nurse and obtained it at the age of 50. Happy working my 36hrs/week in a local hospital. Joe will make a fine nurse. Love the job and love the hours. I shed a tear for Organissimo, but life is about change. Randy was simply awesome playing with Gerard Gibbs. There is a second and third life still ahead for all of you. You're right, and that's a good thing. Congratulations! So, the next time I see you, can I make jokes about Gaylord Focker, male nurse, from Meet the Parents? I'd post a picture of Ben Stiller but I can't figure out how to do it.

Do I get the T-shirt and a case of the Bitches Brew BREW if I order it?

Beach Boys?? Double ugggh.

The makers of CDs are just copying the trend currently popular with vinyl. You must have the 200g audiophile pressings.

Lyle Lovett is jazz?

if this is going to be the latest installment of the Bootleg Series, then it's gotta be the least exciting one so far. Of all the possible things to release, they are choosing early demos?? Really? No thanks.

It's funny. But you'd think that since Carson loved jazz, that Letterman would at least maybe try, a little. He looked up to Johnny so much, didn't he?

Glad I got to see you in person a couple times. Thanks to Paul for organizing that!

It reminded me of some classic Seinfeld episodes, at least.

Yeah. Pretty "Complete", huh? I should get a refund.

quite toasty here, mid-90s with humidity. approaching 100s tomorrow. We are being told to stay indoors. A 10-min walk for the dog (black fur, large breed) just wipes him out in this heat.

ECMs have not been hitting Yourmusic recently, not like I have been expecting them to. Any ECM new release I'm interested in, I just buy it now. They seem to be selective. The recent Steve Kuhn, Keith Jarrett, John Abercrombie and Miroslav Vituous titles showed up after a long, long while, but other recent titles like John Surman's last one are MIA. They do carry another Crispell title, so who knows ... This new Crispell looks too good to wait for yourmusic so I pre-ordered it from Borders with the latest 40% coupon.

But that's not what happened in the Galaragga perfect game I just described two posts above. The Tigers announcers were clearly discussing a perfect game for at least 3 innings!

I never had any opinion on it until Galaragga's perfect game (yes, it was a perfect game, despite the umpire), when by the 7th inning the radio announcers began pointing out that not only were there no hits, no runs, no baserunners, no walks, no errors, but it was a PERFECT GAME! I thought that they shouldn't be saying it. Just mention the usual box score-type updates and be done with it until it's official.

one of my favorite boxes, even with the dicosgraphical errors and the sometimes-poor sound.

The Fillmore East Deluxe has Midnight Rider and One Way Out which also appear on the Eat a Peach Deluxe (they are from the last Fillmore show, June 27 1971 or something like that). The rest of the Fillmore Deluxe is from the March shows that made up the original release. Get them both. Skip that box (it's not really a box, it's just a double disc set).

It's green.

why didn't he just get the call right in the first place if he is supposedly such a "great ump"? it wasn't all that close of a play, how did he miss it so badly? And, in the top half of the inning, Johnny Damon got a gift call on the same kind of play at first.

As a chemist (not a plumber, though), I'd say try vinegar. It's what I am going to use on my own pipes the next time I need to do anything. The combo with baking soda is non-corrosive and should be just as powerful as the oxidizers and other concoctions sold as drain cleaners.

Lionel Richie????

When?

happy birthday Chuck.
