I don't know where my brain is lately, I need to chill out. I already sent the check for this bad boy, so it's mine. But now as I sit here and look at this thread I'm positive I already own this one. What a maroon! Anybody want to buy it from me? $5, I'll give myself a dollar penalty.

Go Dodgers! Well, try at least. Go Angels!

At Conn's recommendation, PM sent!

Thanks for the correction, Tom. I didn't catch the Fresh Sounds part before posting away. Edited for further embarassment. I'm leaving this thread for good.

I bought the same set a few weeks ago and ended up with two disc 3s and no disc 2. I returned it where I bought it and they replaced it, since attempts to contact Blue Note myself did not receive a response. Wonder why they struggled to keep this thing together? I wish they'd thrown something different in with my set instead of doubling up discs. You lucked out!

I dig that London By Night disc, Bright Moments hipped me to it a while back. Good stuff!

I think the man said he was trying to catch cats, not p*ssies..... It's just another example of cheese... ...and based on the turkey looks, Gorelick probably has to spend some cheese to get some cat.

Hire some friendly neighborhood kids to take care of it...

*shudders* There's one in a skateboarding video, Zero I think, this kid breaks his arm so horribly falling. I'm scarred from watching it, seriously.

I heard the engine jet guy actually lived. Maybe it was a lie. I've actually seen much worse as far as skateboarding goes, not to mention football. At least they didn't show Joe Theisman or Napoleon Kaufman or Freddie Mitchell or Moises Alou (baseball) or any of those other compound fractures that are permanently etched in my mind.

I did well on this one, by my standards. I got that there were two Gato tracks in a row, recognized there was something Monk-like about a Monk track, nailed the Hendrix quotes, and of course knew the JB's... ...but I didn't get the Jack Wilson, though I just bought the cd after Big Al's test. Thanks again Dana, sorry to read you don't have as much time to hang out!

Wow, I'd never thought of the JB's as easy-listening, but I guess they ARE. This is actually a revelation for me. Brownie: "11- A journalist friend played me that 'song' a few years ago. I found it a bit grandiloquent. He liked it, I didn't. The music gets better when the preaching stops!" I felt exactly the opposite about this track. Isn't that weird? Jim R: "1. This has that familiar mid to late 60’s sound to it... could be a BN... is it Billy Higgins on drums? I gotta be honest, though- I don’t like this stuff very much. The music is groovy in a way, and I know a lot of folks dig this sound, but for me it just conjures up images of girls with WAY too much eye make-up, guys in tight pants exposing the ankles, people doing ridiculously stupid dances, and even bad movies (does anybody remember the theme to “The Ambushers” starring Dean Martin?). Having lived through that era (okay, even though I was only 10 in 1966), and having seen and heard a lot of these things, maybe I have more trouble with it than somebody who wasn’t born yet. Anyway, the beat is one thing, but when you add a melody with that type of rhythm to it, well, I just can’t take it." Fascinating how historical perspective plays a role in how we hear things. For myself, this was just a good groovin' tune with no corny associations. For Jim, the song associates to other things he finds distasteful.

I definitely agree the series jumped the shark at Return Of The Jedi. Friggin' ewoks were like teletubbies with fur, a far cry from the cool edge of the first two films. ROTJ just plain sucked, even Vader went soft. These last two movies and ROTJ combined with the atrocious extra footage added to the other movies have further cemented that at some point after Empire Strikes Back Lucas lost sight of what made his first two movies cool.

Congratulations!

A friend's Dad I met has the most impressive private sports memorabilia collection I've ever seen. He's got all types of money, obviously. Some notables: Autographed Muhammad Ali boxing gloves actually used in a fight Autographed photo of the '55 Dodgers (whole team) He had tons more, but those stand out. I collect old books and any art supplies/tools I can get my hands on.

Suprise suprise, I'm a Meters fan. I have the Chicken Strut album, a best of cd and a couple scattered tracks on compilations. This thread reminds me I intend to upgrade to full length albums in my never ending quest to eliminate best ofs from the collection.

I hope Paul and Greg took my joke in the lighthearted sense it was intended. I'd be honored to have a beer with you guys, especially at an Organissimo show.

Greg and Randy, pals. Maybe we can all just get along...

Floral delivery (Can you say "spilled water on the car carpet?") Bowling alley snack bar attendant (How bout "free soft pretzels?") Busboy for Middle Eastern restaurant (Free grub, good stuff) Janitor/Delivery Truck Washer for hospital supply company (Rough work, but worked well with my school schedule when I was in school). Shipping/inventory clerk for motion picture industry--where I toil to this day, wasting precious hours of my only life when I'm pretty sure I should be out snowboarding or skateboarding or playing hoop or painting or listening to jazz or doing something fun.

Ditto. I have a Bachelor's Degree Of Fine Art for Illustration from Art Center in Pasadena. I'm trying to break into making money with art somehow.

I'm suprised there's no mention of the facial contortioning and twisting displayed by an acid-frying Carlos Santana at Woodstock. A few friends and I laughed ourselves to tears watching his face on frame-by-frame on a really nice big screen tv.

His baseline fadeaway jumper, maybe?
