Bob - if you send your address and I can get it in the mail this afternoon. Dan

PM'd you

I'm thinking I need more fiber between my ears. Any thoughts on Ray Russell from his obscured early 70s work, particularly Live at ICA, 1971? Thanks, Dan

I wrote in to say thanks for the great Andrew Hill Select, asked about reissuing the 1995 set. MC says all will be reissued as regular BN discs, no timing given. I also suggested Mosaic try to do the four Bobby Bradford - John Carter LPs (two on Flying Dutchman, two on Revelation, yes?) as a Select, MC said he would look into it. Good enough for me.

Discs are in the mail, USPS Priority. I know I promised UPS Ground, but I had a rude awakening at the counter, $5-8 per piece. Yikes I am really old. Any problems, pls post me. Thanks everybody, Dan

Dylan is a great and stony hard rocker, that should be among his legacies. I like his taste in bands, including his own. I was listening to the alt unreleased Blood On the Tracks last week, I think it beats everything. It's my favorite record, there must be a good screenplay in there too.

That's amazing. Did you all read that? Mosaic takes paypal. So in this one particular sense, I am not crazy. Thanks for that info kulu se mama-cita!!

These are good deals for me too, I have lust in my heart and ears for the Pullen and Hill Selects. I haven't bought new Mosaic product in about four years, I am DUE.

Booker Little s/t CD from Japan does not sound like vinyl to my ears, but instead carries a modest amount of tape gen noise. Great record!

Could have been a dream... Thanks

I have a copy of the Deep Purple album Burn (1st after the great Ian Gillan split) that my brother and I took a hot iron and wax paper to, in an effort to improve upon its basic awfulness. No luck.

I think if they like it and they are into it, it's not smooth jazz. It may be something that engages them further and opens up their minds. (I seem to recall hearing Ronnie Laws albums in college and really liking them.) I define smooth jazz as just aural programmed tripe that people use to fill in the cracks in their ears/minds. We elitists don't like it because it seems to hurt the commercial case for authentic jazz.

Smooth jazz is lot like that drug described in the movie Jacob's Ladder, that is, very likely used and abused by The Man in the alternate universe, for example by helmeted fuzz for crowd control and dispersion. Better than pepper spray at high volumes, and even better yet at sublimal levels. I think US AG Gonzalez favors SJ, if I am not mistaken. SJ could have been what pushed our guys over the line at Abu Ghraib, we'll know some day.

Did all or any of the Involution sessions come out on the Select?

Was Bobby Bradford still playing with Ornette in 1969? I don't remember the date of Crisis, but I think it was later, and no Bradford. I know Bradford was with Ornette in the second half of 1968.

I am thinking back to two instances where I went to see much-hyped movies on opening night, and neither disappointed - Do the Right Thing, and later Silence of the Lambs. My recollection was that Do the Right Thing, with its enormously important story and message especially focused on New Yorkers at a rough time (after several racial killings), was completely ignored by the Oscars, poll takers etc, but that Silence won BIG with the help of a studio promo machine. (Is that right? And imo, Demme seems kind of a lightweight now.) Anyway, I should have been more cynical earlier in my life, but Spike Lee has made some excellent and varied movies, certainly worthy of major recognition, but he has no shot up against award machinery. It's all BS, it's just an annual TV show. I think Hoffman or Brando was right when he called the oscars garish and obscene thirty five years ago. Pathetic fragile big egos on display. So, to answer the question, some favorite movies never to win an oscar: Blood Simple Rushmore Do the Right Thing Young Frankenstein Life of Brian The Grateful Dead Movie Stranger Than Paradise The Long Good Friday

tossup: Spain, or People's Republic of SF

RDK - you're way off base, but I guess I am too. I was sure BTK was Michael Jackson.

A man's got to eat. Sanborn obviously has talent to entertain several audiences. I say good for him if he has found a way to earn a real living with his music. I really enjoyed that Berne CD, I will play it again this eve.

Thanks!

Just curious.

I really don't see or hear the point of pursuing new or reissue vinyl unless you know the piece is all analog-processed end-to-end. It seems as stupid as those Japanese mini-LP CDs, of which I own about several hundred.

Let's remember that before there was Jon Stewart, there were Doctor HST and many others, popularizing a more measured judgement of the press. We need to pay attention!!! There should be some kind quotes coming forth this week from Ted Nugent and Rush Limbaugh, additional depraved bitterness to further the Doctor's work in years ahead. HST's suicide to me is a little like that of Abbie Hoffman, a very dark heads-up signal about the future, from a friendly agent.
