I haven't heard too much of them that interests me. I was initially interested when I saw Adrian Belew and Robert Fripp were big fans, opening for their last east coast tour and guesting on their records, but so far their music has done nothing for me.

Can't wait for this!

my first iPod, ECM rarum box #2, and the Spy magazine book.

This has happened to me recently too. The box arrived open but partly taped back up, with one selection missing and another one busted (the CD was fine but the case was in multiple pieces), with a note on the box saying that it was damaged in the USPS system. It took around a month to have the missing disc re-sent and a replacement case to be sent.

Scott Thunes?

The Neil Young is on vinyl

I like that Neil Young War album (even better as the just released Raw version), and the Dylan was pretty good, although not as good as Love and Theft. I just recently got the Donald Fagen, thought it was dull at first but the more I listen to it the more I like it. I think I will have to check this one out on vinyl as the bass on the CD sounds thin. I also listened to the Springsteen, but I haven't gone back to it much. I'd rather hear that band play his own songs. The latest Willie Nelson, Songbird, produced by Ryan Adams with his backing band The Cardinals as the band for this album, is pretty good too. It was strange at first to hear feedback-drenched guitars on a Willie album, but I think it's a great contrast. I have only been able to listen to the Johnny Cash twice. I don't think this one should have been released. He sounds like he is really struggling to sing; why do we need to hear this? One of my favorites this year is Gob Iron, Death Songs for the Living. Great versions of traditional folk songs (I think there is even a Steven Foster song too) done by Jay Farrar and Anders Parker, linked by short acoustic guitar improvs.

anybody get those Freak Out! reissues? Seem a little expensive to me so I was waiting for reviews for either one.

I've been meaning to check out the Marilyn Crispell discs on ECM. I also really like the Art Ensemble of Chicago Tribute to Lester

Well, I checked BMG and it can be had there for a total of $19.99, no S&H. For that price I figured I would try them one more time before completely giving up on them.

good price for the Weather Report box, but I don't know if I need (or could even stand) 4 discs of them. I liked the first two albums and the live in Tokyo import, but anything after those that I have heard just sounded like dull semi-funk

I've never tired of Footprints. Great tune

I don't hate him. He just bores me.

Was this 2 months after they said it had already shipped? My CD is listed as "Shipped 11/30." 2 months after it was "shipped". and it now takes minimum a week for a response from customer service, if at all

it took 2 months for an order I placed in October to arrive. And my monthly selection for Nov was late too

happy birthday!

The other Impulse one, Mysteries, isn't. I've had a tough time trying to get it

I've never noticed if he does or not. The music is excellent though. Good luck finding it!

Oh, so if someone posts significantly more in the political forum than anywhere else and likes to argue with people they don't agree with, their presence here should be questioned?
