This fine compilation has Doggett's "Honky Tonk Popcorn." Is that the same song, MG? This Sonny Hopson thing sounds like a fun listen, I need to get some Dusty Groove funds together.

I received my copy last night and have listened several times. I love it! Enjoyable start to finish. I really dig the takes on Cantaloupe Island and Eleanor Rigby, besides the title track which I already know well. El Chicano ever loses their groove, this is great party music! Thanks again, Michel! There's something to be said for playing music well even when it is being played simply. I'll play this with the same enthusiasm as I'll play a Meters album or a Booker T & The MG's album. :tup

Da Bears' miserable first half cheated me out of having the total points that would have won me $2k. Rex is officially on my shit list. What a choke job by the Cardinals.

These two are awesome! So are the Willie Colon albums.

Don't count on it. The defense would need to score to make that prediction come true. I predicted the Raiders would go 3-13 this year, and I'm starting to think that was too generous. 0-16 might not be out of the question, this is the most inept NFL offense I've ever seen.

I'll play. Watched the Lakes against the Suns last night. The kid Bynum has really bulked up. Steve Nash is an incredible player, one of my favorites to watch. He dismantles the Lakers' porous defense.

Count Philly/NO as a loss since I didn't pick it.

Happy Birthday!

I love this album, particularly "Shirley" and the following two tracks. "Wahoo" is a great Duke Pearson song.

I'd buy it for the few tracks I don't have. What's it run?

Up for picks!

Holy smokes! Is his family OK?

I have the same ones. Not bad!

...and before that...

This is my favorite Earland. The spaciest organ album I've heard next to Moon Rappin', and I love the spacy sound. Now I read here my version of this is edited. Shit.

...which puts a big smile on Big Al's face. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are continuing their stellar post season play. They'll be on vacation unless they start scoring some mf runs.
