I think Dave must have me on his ignore list ...

Baugh was known to make blunt, witty remarks. After the Redskins' 73-0 loss to the Chicago Bears in the 1940 championship, a writer asked if the outcome would have been different had an end not dropped an early touchdown pass. "Yeah," drawled Baugh. "It would have been 73-7." http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/footbal...0,3582613.story

Root! Root! Root!

Great label. They are releasing the 1961 Coltrane/Dolphy/Wes Montgomery Monterey performance too.

Oh no. I had been hoping that he would tour the States. Alas.

On Friday night I saw the Meat Puppets. Sunday it was a duo featuring Kieran Hebden (Four Tet), electronics Steve Reid, drums. Good times.

Friday, January 9 | 8pm Composer Portrait: Julius Hemphill Rites Quartet I with Marty Ehrlich, alto saxophone/flute Baikida Carroll, trumpet Erik Friedlander, cello Pheeroan AkLaff, drums Rites Quartet II with Marty Ehrlich, alto saxophone Andy Laster, alto saxophone J.D. Parran, tenor saxophone Alex Harding, baritone saxophone Ursula Oppens, piano Daedalus String Quartet Event Description: Please join Ars Nova Workshop for part one - music for piano, string quartet, saxophone quartet and mixed ensemble - of a special celebration of Julius Hemphill's unique body of work. The program will feature One Atmosphere (1992), originally composed for Ursula Oppens and the Arditti Quartet; Parchment (1983), also written for Ms. Oppens; Mingus Gold (1988), first performed in 1988 at Lincoln Center by the Kronos Quartet; and a variety of material composed for saxophone choir. In addition, the Rites Quartet I will feature music from Hemphill's 1972 recording Dogon A.D., considered one of the seminal works of its generation. This very rare performance will also feature trumpeter Baikida Carroll, who appears on the original recording, as well as two of Hemphill's closest collaborators, Marty Ehrlich and Pheeroan AkLaff. This is an event not to be missed.

R.I.P. and thanks for the music.

I wouldn't put it past them to break the bank and go all-out for Teixeira. It would prove them to be hypocrites and liars but that's their M.O. anyway. But I suspect that Hank is referring to making choices between Pettitte/Sheets and possibly Lowe. Hank is already on the record saying that they would go after Sabathia, Burnett, and Lowe. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3703112 I think they'll go after(and get) Lowe and Teixeira.

Sixers went and fired Mo Cheeks today. He just got a big contract extension after making it to the playoffs last Spring. Scapegoat.

Hey if you guys want some laughs you should go and read what we all wrote in last year's Hot Stove forum.... http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=36886

Alright I'll fess up...."Traces of Love" is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Those seem to be prices for downloads, but I'll gladly stand being corrected on that if I'm wrong cause there's some titles I'm in the market for right now. I think those are the prices for CDs. Add them to your cart and go to checkout. If you want to download them click on the Emusic link. It looks like they have stopped selling LPs.

Hmm. The honourable master Michel with a link to an article the thread started. Master Michel wise and faitfhul is, he warned us. The author of the article clearly to the dark side of the force converted he was. Digital is the path to the dark side. Digital leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. With the cd you start, then an iPod and the downloading and at the end yourself you will lose. Pulverize planets and records stores you will do. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. The followers of the dark side everywhere are, even in the vinyl forum they are. The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see the future is. That just might be the post of the year right there.

Well now that gas is under $2.00 a gallon.....

Did anyone see this show last night?? YUSEF LATEEF ROSCOE MITCHELL DOUGLAS EWART ADAM RUDOLPH Walker Art Center McGuire Theater Minneapolis, MN

HOLY CRAP!!! WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT IN DETROIT???? I turned the game off about midway through the 3rd with the Sixers down by 12 or 13. I figured that they had been down the whole game and playing the 2nd night of a back to back, on the road, w/out Elton Brand... Well you do the math. Both teams were playing pretty poorly tonight. Iverson just isn't meshing w/ the rest of those guys.

15+ years and he has to serve at least 6 years before he becomes eligible for parole. No bail while he appeals.

Man, I was all set to go on a rant about the Sixers' and then I found this inspiring story on Wayman Tisdale. Kind of puts everything in its proper perspective. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/stor...mp;lid=tab2pos2

I've tried the simultaneous clicking maneuver on about 10 different computers here at work that have Firefox 3.0 installed. It doesn't work. So, I'm thinking you need to change a setting within the Logitech software. *Edit to say that our computers use the standard Dell mouse
