Thanks Brad! I'm hoping to get some right on Jim's new discs. I think I know 2 tracks so far.

I haven't participated in the past for the same reasons. I didn't want to appear as a complete idiot. It's hard enough already appearing as a partial one.

Brad, I understand your point about having the time to participate in numerous Blindfold tests, but I figure the solution is (if you're busy, or there are too many tests) to just not sign up to participate in all of them. Participate in 1 of 5 tests, this will allow more forumites to participate in creating tests. Also, if people aren't participating in every test, then the number of CDs that each test creator will send out will be less. Everyone wins! I don't think there will be a Blindfold test burnout if we have tests every couple weeks or so. I think it will only serve to create more interest if the lag time is less between tests. I just don't want to wait until 2005. I'm half done with my CD already. By then I'll have a box set for y'all.

That sounds like a great way of doing it, Dan!

... with all my assembled forces of imagination I cannot see Carlos Santana in a tuxedo! With his his woolen cap on the head, that is. He really needs to lose the cap too! It's not like we don't know he is BALD. There's nothing wrong with being bald.

I have another question. How obscure are you guys going to get? Is the purpose to stump everyone, or is it to put together a very cool compilation that expresses your own personal tastes, yet is fairly obscure. Another question. Is it to be entirely jazz? What if it's 90% jazz with some other interesting instrumental music. Is that cool? Are tracks off Mosaic sets too obvious? I'd love to know how the rest of you are approaching it. :rsmile:

I wouldn't complain, RT! I'm already working on my compilation.

Thanks Mike! 26 it is.

I don't know how much worse it can be than his last two albums. I rather hear the freakin' Mormon Tabernacle Choir doing "A Love Supreme" than sit through any of the tracks from his Supernatural album. (Where's that puking avatar when you really need it? )

Please sign me up! It looks like #25 is open. I have a bad feeling I won't get my turn until 2005.

Cool! I think I'm going to start working on my compilation. I have a bunch of ideas. Thanks again! I'm really enjoying the CDs.

I just received my copy today. I've listened through it once. Thanks again to Jim and the others who helped in this effort! I'm not going to make my guesses yet, but I think I know track 10 on disc 1 and I definitely know track 3 on disc 2 . I'm really excited about listening to this and trying to figure out what everything is. It makes me want to sign up and create a blindfold test. I have one question: Are the blindfold tests only supposed to be tracks ripped form LPs, or is it okay to take tracks off of various CDs?

It's yours, if you want it.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Catesta, I think something got into your avatar:

I actually read Peter's instructions for this thread just now, so my name would be: Mike Caballo

I'm getting too predictable. I was going to build a collage of 20 pictures of people named Buck (so I'd have the 20 Bucks), but I didn't find 20.

This probably doesn't count.

I'll be there! Maybe we can cook ol' James T. and have a BBQ.

I'll see if I can help: "Love, exciting and new Come aboard, we're expecting you Love, life's sweetest reward Let it flow, it floats back to you Love Boat soon will be making another run The Love Boat promises something for everyone Set a course for adventure Your mind on a new romance And love won't hurt anymore It's an open smile on a friendly shore It's love Welcome aboard It's love!" Just start singing this... and you'll forget all about those blasted Weebles.

I've been on a big ol' Grateful Dead binge during the preceeding days of December. I just can't stop listening to their early recordings.

Maybe I should change my name...

I want to be Captain Morgan! He has all the fun.

Argh, thanks Catesta!!

Since Peter Johnson is already taken. I'll take Turd Ferguson as my name, Alex. I bet I won't get much work.

Argh, he's beside himself since he lost the election. Argh, where are the pirate emoticons when you need them, argh!
