I like polls.

rockefeller center, I LOVE your new avatar!!! With all the Zappa fans around here, I'm surprised nobody's mentioned this spoof:

I feel the same way as Brad. I don't want to see anyone leave. Please stick around. B)

I wasn't playing off the title as much as I was playing off the image of the tape case on the cover. It's more in the Monty Python vein than Couw's thematic avatars. It's not an alien. It's James T. Cat (or Cat Shatner) as a kitten getting into the trouble that young 'uns do.

R.I.P. Speedy Speedy West was one of my all-time favorite musicians. His recordings with Jimmy Bryant from the fifties are often played in my home.

It still creeps me out every time I see it.

And I'm the asshole!?!?!?! You must have insulted his wife or something... I have to say that from what I've seen in these various threads, Undergroundagent has been pretty cool through this whole thing. He's apologized a number of times. I guess I don't see the point of the continued vendetta, Jazzhound. I also read his original thread. When it said $15 or trade offers, I would have been annoyed at the offer of trading 10 $1 bills too. It's pretty obvious that he meant trade offers of CDs. I really think Jazzhound is the one who is being unreasonable at this point. I just wanted to apologize here to Jazzhound. He informed me that I didn't have my facts straight. I guess I should learn to keep my big mouth shut.

Here's one for fans of Mobley and Morgan's PECKIN' TIME:

Sorry to see you go, undergroundagent!

The name of the band wasn't that strange (The Holy Modal Rounders), but I love the title of this album. The Moray Eels Eat the Holy Modal Rounders

Tony, I'm enjoying the progress too! When my son was in his first year, I took pictures of him everyday and I used to post them on my website. It's really neat going back and seeing his development.

Nice! Indeed!

I hope you have a GREAT birthday!

I picked up some of his Columbia cds a couple years ago (cheaply from half.com) after seeing his name mentioned with Bobby Watson. I really liked them. I should spin them again.

That's really cool! I hope it's a true story. Now if they could just get back together with Syd Barrett for an out of this world version of Astronome Domine or Intersteller Overdrive....

man, that was really bad. I know. I really have no shame.

Lon, I see we posted at the same time. I guess you already answered my question. Drats! I can't afford to rebuy this stuff.

I have the old Columbia Jazz Masterpieces individual volumes. Are the remasters a night and day improvement over these, or am I really missing out by not upgrading?

That's 5,000 posts in 11 days! We really are are nuts!!!

Speaking of being abused, here is some levity from our friends at Monty Python's Flying Circus: FRENCH GUARD: Allo, dappy English k-niggets and Monsieur Arthur King, who has the brain of a duck, you know. So, we French fellows outwit you a second time! ARTHUR: How dare you profane this place with your presence! I command you, in the name of the Knights of Camelot, to open the doors of this sacred castle, to which God Himself has guided us! FRENCH GUARD: How you English say, 'I one more time, mac, unclog my nose in your direction', sons of a window-dresser! So, you think you could out-clever us French folk with your silly knees-bent running about advancing behavior?! I wave my private parts at your aunties, you cheesy lot of second hand electric donkey-bottom biters. ARTHUR: In the name of the Lord, we demand entrance to this sacred castle! FRENCH GUARD: No chance, English bed-wetting types. I burst my pimples at you and call your door-opening request a silly thing, you tiny-brained wipers of other people's bottoms! ARTHUR: If you do not open this door, we shall take this castle by force! [splat] In the name of God and the glory of our-- [splat] FRENCH GUARDS: [laughing] ARTHUR: Agh. Right! That settles it! FRENCH GUARD: Yes, depart a lot at this time and cut the approaching any more, or we fire arrows at the tops of your heads and make castanets out of your testicles already! Ha ha haaa ha! ARTHUR: Walk away. Just ignore them. FRENCH GUARD: And now, remain gone, illegitimate-faced bugger-folk! And, if you think you got a nasty taunting this time, you ain't heard nothing yet, dappy English k-nnniggets! Thpppt!
