That's good news. Are they releasing a firmware update for the older players? My wife has a 20 gig model that's about two years old.

What I don't like about the Ipod is that it inserts a moment of silence between tracks. When your listening to a live piece or long piece that is divided upto into individual tracks you get these little hiccups which are very disturbing. The only way around this is to record the entire cd as one l-o-n-g track, which is problematic for say Abbey Road. I don't want to have to listen to "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" or "Octopus' Garden" everytime I want to hear the extended suite on side two.

Holy smokes! MVP Ryan Howard just hit his 3rd homer of the game off of Tim Hudson. That's #52.

I 2nd the recommendation for White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns. Both are utterly amazing.

Damn. R.I.P.

That really sucks. 22 years old. Damn.

RE: 8/6/71 The whole show is available as an audience recording w/ very good sound. The H2H on The Phil Zone cd is from this recording.

I love both sides.

Speaking from personal experience, eh???

Oh please. Beltran has way more help than Howard and you know it. The Phillies would be right up there w/ the Mets if they didn't have the WORST starting pitching in the NL. Marlins ain't passing the Phils.* Edit - *At least not tonight.

Not to mention he could be the first (non steroid) hitter to break Maris' homer record.

MVP! MVP! Leads the Majors in HR 48 AND RBI 125.

Seraphic Light: Celebrating John Coltrane’s 80th Birthday http://ihousephilly.org/SeraphicLight.htm Seraphic Light honors the astonishing oeuvre and 80 th birthday of John Coltrane. Philadelphia’s adopted son, Coltrane was arguably the most influential musician in modern jazz, both technically and spiritually. Recording for the first time under Dizzy Gillespie, Coltrane gained recognition as a member of Miles Davis’ remarkable quintet, recording the seminal Kind of Blue (Columbia Records). A brief period with Thelonious Monk in 1957 effectively signaled the start of Coltrane’s career as a leader; and, over the next ten years his quartet – with McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones – brought about a seismic shift in jazz harmony, making use of every tonal distortion and timbral effect. Coltrane’s subsequent ensembles – often featuring Eric Dolphy, Rashied Ali, Archie Shepp, Pharoah Sanders and Alice Coltrane, among others – released and performed some of the most radical and exploratory music in jazz. Pivotal albums such as A Love Supreme, Giant Steps, and Interstellar Space remain legendary accomplishments. This series commemorates and continues Coltrane’s legacy through unique performances featuring musicians who continue to explore and celebrate the outer boundaries of jazz and improvisation. We invite you to join us as we pay tribute to John Coltrane.
