  1. Oh, and I would like to see Division III of Being and Time too. Who knows, maybe its buried in a pile of unpublished manuscripts somewhere.
  2. Yeah, I've been to the old Bop Stop on W6th and the new one near W25th. I kind of like the old one because it had a pretty nice ambiance for jazz-the brick walls, being downtown and so forth, but the new location affords a larger audiance and the accoustics are an improvement. you missed the original where the really great cats hung out and jammed after their gigs in the early 1990's. it's a wonder they didnt blow the roof off. there was room for about 35 people and no room for a piano. it was at w41st and superior or carnegie, i think. some incredible musicians passed through those humble doors. krivda played the joint several times, and lovano, too. i took a couple dates there, and not being music majors they were not impressed. Oh, didn't know there was an even earlier location than that That was around the time I moved to Cleveland.
  3. On my second cup of coffee, so I've settled down since then.
  4. Fight for Your Right to Party-Beastie Boys She Drives Me Crazy-FYC Message in a Bottle-The Police Edit: She Drive Me Crazy came out in 1990, so replace it with Stand-REM

  6. Still hot and humid, but with rain now.
  7. If no one minds me saying, I think its Miles saying, 'you can overdub it' and Mabry saying 'overdub it?'
  8. That's right, his 'trees' are something entirely different from previous contributions to logic. I Had the opportunity, as a senior project, to work through the Begriffsschrift, which really helped me dig deeper into quantified logic. A rewarding endeavor, if you don't mind spending the time on it.
  9. Yes! We need more philosophers! I Have a BA, MA and currently working on a PhD in philosophy. I've also been teaching philosophy for the last five years. I took a class on Thomas' 'Treastise on Man' in my first year of doctoral work. I walked away from that with an entirely new respect for his work.
  10. Heidegger... you must be a tough guy that you can stand his writing... actually you reminded me of a project one of my professors started when i still did philosophy, a translation of Gottlob Freges (famous because it's incorrect but i love his writing style) major work "Grundgesetze der Arithmetik" from his own weird formula language to normal formulas... hope this will get finished in decent time... (they started in 2004) His language takes a little getting used to, but as soon as the lexicon hurdle is overcome, it becomes quite clear that he is one of most important philosophers of the 20th century. I've taken two seminars on Heidegger: one on 'Being and Time' and the other on the 'later' Heidegger. Took the latter seminar with a prof who studied with Eugen Fink at Frieburg. Fink was a student and friend of Heidegger's. Hope that Leibniz project comes to a completion. Frege, not Leibniz (the only author besides Bertrand Russell who is mentioned in Wittgenstein's Tractatus...), he was the inventor of quantors (English word?) in logic and had his very own way of writing things down ( on page 7 and 8 of this you can see what he did and how they are rewriting it on one of 400 pages http://www.ikp.uni-bonn.de/~fha/fha_gldv05.pdf ) i never got beyond that language issue with Heidegger, it just read so ridiculous... but i do believe you Yeah, my bad. I meant Frege. Don't know why I said Leibniz. Wittgenstein is another important philosopher, one of the few philosophers to actually recant a work (the Tractatus) but even so, the Tractatus still influenced a whole movement in philosophy, i.e., the Logical Positivists. I even quoted the final proposition of the Tractatus in my reply box below. I took a seminar on the Tractatus as an undergrad and we went proposition by proposition. It was fantastic.
  11. I think so, in a line-up that also included Brotzmann. I have '20th Anniversary' on FMP and Mangelsdorff, Christmann and Lewis are the trombonests on that disk.

  13. In jazz: I'd like to see thoroughly researched biographies on Jackie McLean and Albert Ayler In philosophy it'd be neat to read: A non-political biography on Martin Heidegger (read the 'policitcal' one by Hugo Ott). All of the works by Aristotle that were lost in the fire at the Library of Alexandria. And the original manuscript of 'Rules for the Direction of the Mind' by Descartes (if you want to read what happened to it, its in the Cambridge Edition of the Collected Works of Rene Descartes). And maybe a couple of my own poetry manuscripts-they're typed up and ready to go
  14. Hot and humid.
  15. I don't have the Chambers select, but if the 'Paul Chambers Quintet' is included, that's just as fine as the other two Chambers albums! In fact, I give it a slight edge over Bass on Top, but Whims is still the fav out of the three.
  16. Yeah, I tried that too, but no reply.
  17. Doing some used cd shopping and picked up these two diddys: Jazz at Hotchkiss-The George Wallington Quintet-Savoy Jazz Corps featuring Roland Kirk-Pacific Jazz
  18. Wow, more bad news. In addition to his work with Blakey and Trane, I also liked his work on The Artistry of Freddie Hubbard. What a big, rich monster tone he had.
  19. Well this blows. This is just as upsetting as when Manglesdorff passed. That was a nice interview, Clifford. Sad to hear about the lack of paying gigs in those last twelve months. In addition to everything else mentioned, I also liked his work with Brotzmann, too. Will spin 'Fuck De Boere' tonight.
  20. Well finally, a new episode of the 2007 WSOP, Tuesday at nine
  21. Funny, on VH1, there was a Genesis concert from 1976, and this was probably around the time when Phil Collins took over lead vocals...it was pretty cool! Steve Hackett and Bill Bruford were in the band. Interesting how Phil seemed to try to fill Peter Gabriel's shoes with the theatrics, althoug he did not wear any costumes.
  22. my grandson is that way, and he is working like hell to get a bachelors in 3 years just to save money. I didn't have to take out loans until my master's, it's my Phd that's costing a fortune.

    I think that's correct. I never needed to log in before. Now I have to sometimes (and sometimes not - dunno why that is) but never realise it until I want to post something, unless I'm looking at the sexiest album sleeves thread If this is happening to everyone, then I guess that might account for it. MG The only time that I've had to re-log in is when the board went down[because I never log out]. Btw, if you leave this site without logging out, do others see you as an active/present member at the bottom of the Forum Home page? [inquiring minds need to know.] I never log out either; but every so often, it makes me log in. Pain in the bumhole. MG I stayed logged in too, but if you delete the cookie, you will have to log back in. I don't delete my cookies - someone must be eating them. MG I dunno, it may be Clifford Thornton
