  1. King Ubu, that's not the people, hell... Is that a separate single that was just released?

    Chick Corea

    You nailed it there! It was too smooth and trying too hard to appeal to too many people.
  3. There was one titled 'End of the World Party Just in Case' that I liked a lot. I saw them live once and they were a blast, massively funky.
  4. I moved last week and found a complete 1994 set I had bought for my son(he was 2 then). I have to look now and see if any HOF players were rookies in 1994 and maybe I have some valuable cards. Don't expect much with the '94s - if it's the regular Topps set it can still be bought on Amazon for $45 new. But it's still fun to see players with teams you don't associate them with, the youngsters who didn't pan out, the aging stars, the pscyho stares and constipated looks, plus sometimes good action shots. As far as "investment" for the most part the cutoff date is around 1977 or so iirc. I think it is a regular Topps set, so I guess I'll look at it just for fun, oh well...

  6. Here's a comedy one that Dan mentioned above that cracks me up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhwbxEfy7fg
  7. I saw them in concert once as openers for Brass Fantasy, a bunch of tubas and a drummer. Very good stuff.
  8. Here's RH from last year, this is insane at 87:

    I was at that concert- it was a blast!!!
  10. Was the 'pine tar' HR off Gossage?
  11. he didn't get his ass kicked by the D-Backs, he made a bad throw on a bunt and a bloop over a drawn-in infield won the game for the D-Backs. The outcome was the same; that's all that matters. The Yankees have managed to avoid the natural order and cycle of things in baseball for far too long. Hopefully, they'll be paying for that over the next several years. They now appear even more mismatched than the Knicks, so I'm guessing that they will be sucking at least for a few years. So if a guy trips and breaks his nose it's the same as if he were in a fight and got his nose broken because the result is the same?!!! In the game that Goodspeak referred to, Rivera made a bad throw and a bloop over a drawn-in infield was the game/series winning hit. How can anyone characterize that as an 'ass-kicking'? So, Mo NEVER got his ass kicked? Just playin' devil's advocate here. It's pretty easy to say, and as obvious as obvious gets in this day and age, that he will be called the best RP of all time. I've seen him pitch often enough; I know he's good. He's probably a first ballot hall of famer. Great. But, how would he have done if his talents weren't so specialized and focused on one inning dominance? Is he as good as Goose Gossage, for instance? Just asking. I know it's difficult to make comparisons from era to era, but there's nothing that states that all later era players surpass all earlier era players. I never said that, I said that in Game 7 of the 201 World Series, Rivera DID NOT get his 'ass kicked'. He made a bad throw on a bunt, which was the key play that doomed the Yanks. The D-backs, to their credit, took advantage of it. If he got his ass kicked that time, wouldn't there be a bunch of hard hit balls? He hurt himself severely with the bad throw, there's no way anyone who understands English would call that an ass kicking.

    Alvin Lee, RIP

    Maybe the greatest 'guitar face' of all time, especially in 'Woodstock' when the screen was in three panels and he was facing himself on both sides! Fine player, he could certainly ROCK.
  16. Congrats, the best place to hang on the web!!!
  17. Didn't Frisell do the Richter 858 with guitar, cello, violin, viola?

    Chick Corea

    plus one. also he's a criminal... What's the criminal part, I don't think I've heard that one
  19. IIRC, ron carter had a few recordings with him playing a 'piccolo' bas and there was someone else playing a regular bass.
  20. I was watching a Youtube clip of Petra Haden and 9 other women doing the Who's 'I Can see for Miles' acapella and live(It was excellent). One of the comments was 'Take that Autotune'. I nearly busted a gut laughing at that one. here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNFoNBz9Dbs
  21. 'Throw peas at the knees'
  22. If you can ,get ahold of the 'On the Corner' box, it's real revelation!
  23. Jim, I ordered mine from Germany and I got no stickers.. I was even thinking when I saw your post to rip them off the package and mail them to you, but no stickers on the package at all. Could be the stickers are only put on for a package sent inside Europe.
  24. Got mine today from Amazon.de and I'm listening to the first disc. There's such a flow to the music and they bounce from tune to tune effortlessly(or so it sounds, I know there's tremendous effort involved), like one brain with five bodies. Jack DeJohnette is KILLIN'!!!
