ghost of miles

Sweet, "Fox on the Run" Bay City Rollers, "Saturday Night" The Rolling Stones, "Get Off Of My Cloud" (purchased as an "oldie" when I was 11 in 1977, the same summer that I purchased my first LP--the Ramones' LEAVE HOME, yeah!)

According to Worlds Records, this one has been unavailable for several years: BoswellSisters

That's how Waterloo Records in Austin, Texas used to do it. Lon can probably verify if they still do.

All the way back into the misty origins of the BNBB! FWIW I like the Parker set a lot, but obviously it's primarily for Birdheads. What I want to know is whether or not Sinatra was a jazz singer!

NPR's reviewer, Tom Moon, gives it a big .

The CD is evidently getting coverage on All Things Considered tonight--they've promoed a story about it twice now.

Just heard it in the All Things Considered billboard. Author of LAST EXIT TO BROOKLYN, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, etc. A hell of a writer.

Up for broadcast now.

That must have been well before Prince released "Batdance." Well, Miles said a lot of things!

Miles once called him the Duke Ellington of our time...

Isn't there more to life than the "Stupid Questions Corner"?

What kind of too-much-time-on-their-hands no-accounts would keep posting here?

Is this silly thread still going?

Some news from Elliott's father about the posthumous CD (FROM A BASEMENT ON THE HILL), posted to Sweet Adeline: In the meantime, I think I've posted this link before, but be sure to check out this site.

Earlier discussion here. Hope my Hat CDs don't turn to flame for saying this, but I've fallen off the "bash-Krall" bandwagon with this latest release.

The Benedetti/Charlie Parker box will never expire. Is this correct? I checked the Mosaic discography but, unless I missed it, could find no release date on the Benedetti box. Correct in theory, as Mosaic actually owns the material in the Benedetti/Parker set, as opposed to having leased it.

BENNY'S BOP is indeed another good one. Just got the new Woody Herman Hep release, ROAD BAND 1948. Almost no, if any, overlap with the live Herman CD from 1948 that I already have, and lots of solos from Getz, Chaloff, Sims, etc. No November 1949 Carnegie Hall concert, though, as promoted earlier--maybe on a forthcoming issue?

I'm doing a show today at WFIU from 3:30-5:00 p.m. that will feature both of the Joe Mooney Heps and the recent Fantasy MJQ box (THE COMPLETE PRESTIGE AND PABLO RECORDINGS.

I have THE MUMMY DVD that came out several years ago, and it's fantastic. Has anybody found the set for less than $56? I did a search two weeks ago, and that was the best price I could find (from both Deep Discount DVD and Amazon).

Congratulations, man! To both you and your wife.

I'll probably be snagging this set as well. I saw most of these as a kid on a Friday-night Indianapolis show hosted by "Sammy Terry," a ghoulish guy with a spider named George. (Sammy chatted regularly with the dangling George and made awful puns about the evening's movie feature.) It came on at either 10:30 or 11:30, but my parents usually let us stay up, since it wasn't a school night.

How could I have overlooked this 80's celluloid classic? The movie's ad slogan was "Readin', Writin', and Radiation!"

GIRLS' TOWN also features Paul Anka (who saves Mamie by serenading her with "Ava Maria") and Mel Torme (as a juvenile-delinquent tough guy). Even more bizarrely, I believe that Sheila Graham, who plays one of the nuns, is the same Sheila Graham who was F. Scott Fitzgerald's lover for the last several years of his life (as recounted in her memoir BELOVED INFIDEL).

Don't forget GIRLS' TOWN! Anybody else ever see the MST3000 send-up of this? Maybe we should start a poll for worst high-school movie of alltime...

Gee..I sure wish I'd read the thread before voting... We'll miss ya, Moose! Disparate results in the poll here... very interesting.
