  1. First day in a solid week where it didn't rain.
  2. I've seen copies of the Lexington posted on ebay with the record half in the sleeve that clearly show the album sleeve being "horizontal".
  3. Roddick through to meet Roger on Sunday. Roddick's Wimbledon title chances have all been eliminated by Roger; don't see this Sunday being any different.
  4. Of course, NBC's coverage starts at 12pm and the Andies have already split a set. I can't even get a live feed at ESPN 360
  5. Yes. They are seeded 4 and they're in the semi-finals, scheduled to play tomorrow.
  6. Roadkill it is then ! I'm down with that!
  7. Murray? What is he then? According to Murray, he's a "Scottsman" . I guess when Brad Gilbert was coaching him, he used to refer to Murray as a "Brit" and Murray would get irritated and shout back , "I'm not British, I'm Scottish!".
  8. I voted again today and its still at 76 votes (which is where it was when I voted last night). I demand a recount
  9. If he wins, this place will be unbearable for the rest of the year. but he's not British! Great match though between Roddick and Hewitt.
  10. I have an Ornette cd on Moon titled "Broken Shadows", which was a concert recorded in 1969. I don't think its copyrighted, but its definitely bootleg quality with so-so sound. Needless to say, it fills a gap between the BN and the Impulse! eras.
  11. I think the roof's purpose is twofold: one, to allow continued match play when it rains and two; if a match extends into the evening. I don't recall talk of scheduling night matches like the US Open does, but who knows. My take is that Wimbledon is trying to make things easier rather than breaking with tradition; at least that's my understanding.
  12. Yes. The Murray v. Wawrinka match last night. Also, the latest night match record was broken (previous 9:35pm).
  13. The RVG of Leo Parker's Let Me Tell You 'Bout It- is already demanding absurd prices.
  14. I just listened to "At the Five Spot" vols. I & II (K2 and RVG respectively) and initially I was critical of Mal's out-of- tune piano, but I now agree that it adds a certain "live" and "in-the-moment" kind of feeling to the date. I actually dig it a lot more now then with previous listenings. BTW: Far Cry is another great date if it hasn't been mentioned already .
  15. Currently, I've seen a lot of Pacific Jazz and Conn 10 inchers really turn into obscurities.
  16. Overall, I love this catalogue and I'm pleased that ECM is releasing the Touchstone series. Can't get enough of Paul Bley.
  17. [quote name='sal' date='Jun 26 2009, 01:21 PM' post='929709' Regardless of whatever your personal feelings are about the man, the fact is that his music touched millions, myself included. I'm sad to hear that he died. RIP.
