  3. My Eagles may have lost yesterday but I haven't lost my sense of humor... Tweeted by Keith Stoeckeler BREAKING NEWS: This is crazy, the dead bird epidemic continues! This just in: 53 #Eagles found dead in #Philadelphia. Now that's funny!
  4. Not exactly. A building can be torn down even if it is on the Register. That's a common misconception that a lot of people have. There are no legal obligations(or protections for that matter) placed on a property that is on the list. Really the NRHP is a kind of club that you can join. There some benefits for being a member - tax breaks, federal money for restoration, etc., however, but mostly it's just for show. I think the historic preservation community's thinking is that it while they don't have any legal power to stop a building from being torn down or altered, it would be very embarrassing to have to explain why you just tore down a building that has been deemed historically significant enough to warrant it being listed on the NRHP. Most developers & property owners don't want that kind of bad publicity, so in that sense it can be a very effective tool but a toothless one at that. See this for more info.... http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/hp/buildings/faq.asp
  5. The Philly Jazz scene took a lot of hits in 2010. 2011 is not starting off in a good way. RIP. http://jazztimes.com/articles/27002-jazz-bassist-charles-fambrough-dies

  7. Fox News' Tucker Carlson thinks Michael Vick should be executed Wow.
  8. I've pretty much switched back to buying vinyl only when given the choice between the two. Part of the reason is sound but I have to admit that there is probably a little bit of fetishism too. Additionally, there are a lot of used vinyl stores here so you can pick stuff up on the cheap, although used CD prices are just getting ridiculously low now.
  9. 1200 CDs, 1500 LPs. No MP3s.
  10. "We've become a nation of wusses."
  11. Can't believe the NFL canceled today's game in Philly because of snow. Granted it's going to be a pretty big snow storm when all is said and done but I can't help but think of all of the Bills/Patriots/Packers/Bear/Steelers/Browns/etc. that I've seen played in worse conditions.
  12. Back in '76 I was 12 years old living in the Maryland suburbs of D.C. and the Orioles (and Reggie Jackson) were all I thought about that summer. However, I knew it was a one and done in Baltimore after he announced in an interview that if he played in NYC they would name a candy bar after him. From Wiki... Besides putting up monster numbers during his nine years with the Athletics, including 254 home runs, Jackson was also no stranger to controversy or conflict in Oakland. Sports author Dick Crouser wrote, "When the late Al Helfer was broadcasting the Oakland A's games, he was not too enthusiastic about Reggie Jackson's speed or his hustle. Once, with Jackson on third, teammate Rick Monday hit a long home run. 'Jackson should score easily on that one,' commented Helfer. Crouser also noted that, "Nobody seems to be neutral on Reggie Jackson. You're either a fan or a detractor." One-time teammate Darold Knowles would seem to be in the latter camp. Once when asked if Jackson was a hotdog (i.e. a show-off), he famously replied, "There isn't enough mustard in the world to cover Reggie Jackson."
  13. He's right. Giants 23, Cards 16, Yanks 15, Cubs 14, .... http://www.baseball-almanac.com/hof/hofstat.shtml Something tells me that 10 years from now the Yankees will probably be pretty close to the Giants in HoFers. However, the Yanks will still have way more WS titles then the Giants.
  14. Love these two quotes.... She played with jazz greats John Coltrane and Rahsaan Roland Kirk, among others, her daughter said. Actually, "she didn't play with them; they played with her. Just about whoever you could mention played with her." and Beyond Mrs. Carney's musical abilities, Martino said, "she was an exceptional individual who transcended her gift as an artist and became transcendent as a person. She was magnificent - she radiated the presence of love under every condition I've seen her in." Wow.
  15. Cancer.
  16. Aww man. The Philly jazz scene took some big hits this year. RIP, Trudy.
  17. E - A - G - L - E - S!!!! Take that ya stinkin' Gints fans!
  18. Greinke to Brewers
  19. Fast n Bulbous.
  20. Damn. Damn. Damn.
  21. Cliff Lee and Jayson Werth (NSFW - Language)
  22. I saw Bert last week. He looked healthy and sounded great. Here's a recent(this week)interview/performance from WNYC http://www.wnyc.org/shows/soundcheck/2010/dec/14/studio-bert-jansch/
  23. Some quotes from today's Cliff Lee press conference... * About turning down more lucrative offers from the Rangers and Yanks... "It’s plenty of money," Lee said. "When you get a certain point, enough is enough. It's just a matter of where you are comfortable, where your family is comfortable … This is about winning championships and this team gives me the best chance to do that at this point." * Phillies GM Ruben Amaro never said Werth's name during the press conference only referring to him as “our former rightfielder” *Lee and Werth are close friends and Lee said they talked about going to the same team in free agency. “When he found out I was coming here, he wasn’t the happiest person in the world,” Lee said, diplomatically. HA! HA! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And there's this little tidbit to mull over. Cliff Lee's son has leukemia and Philly has one of best children's hospitals for fighting cancer in the USA. Was his son's health a factor in his decision to choose Philly? http://offthebench.nbcsports.com/2010/12/14/was-sons-health-a-factor-in-the-cliff-lee-decision/
  24. There looks to be a really interesting album coming out on Thrill Jockey records next month by Sidi Touré. The album is called Sahel Folk. Check out this video
