A side note: One of my favorite Zeppelin tracks is their cover of "Travelling Riverside Blues," available on the box set. Why on earth did they leave this song off whatever album they were recording at the time?

Bjork's videos are the best! "All Is Full Of Love" and "Human Behavior" are my two favorites--very cool imagery. I like The Sundays too, I still have a cassette of Reading, Writing, & Arithmetic--a play off the name of their home town Reading, if I recall. Layne Staley--heavy casualty, he didn't take his own advice and "wake up, slow suicide's no way to go..." RIP

That's the track I have, JSngry! Maybe it isn't the "prelude" after all.

Barring a few(mostly the ones I'm unfamiliar with in BFrank's list), I like pretty much every band listed in this thread. others: Primus, Sausage, Les Claypool & The Holy Mackerel, Oysterhead Audioslave (Rage Against The Soundgarden?) Mad Season (Alice In Different Chains?) The Vandals (these guys are comedy)

Whoops, thanks Barak Weiss.

I have some of his Prestige and Blue Note stuff, I need to look for some Pacific stuff (good luck, right?). I definitely love what I've got.

Tight! :rsmile: I have another track by Stark Reality called "Prelude To Say Brother." I would assume there is a "Say Brother," but I don't have it.

Original recipe. I'm down with the extra crispy too though. :rsmile:

Hip Hip Turntablism and Jazz Education
Noj replied to White Lightning's topic in Miscellaneous Music
Oddly enough, the notion of turntablism as an accepted instrument seems contrary to what this art is all about. Is there enough vinyl to churn out classroom after classroom of aspiring DJs? Perhaps there is enough artistic merit to the techniques of mixing, scratching, and transforming to support turntablism in this way, but watering down this field might be problematic...? -
Race and Racial Interaction, in America and beyond
Noj replied to Rooster_Ties's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
My old high school history teacher, Mr. Dave Thomson, is an amazing intellect. He had memorized an anecdote for seemingly every moment in history, and had studied history so thoroughly that he could identify inaccuracies in our textbooks and provide details unavailable in the textbooks (our textbooks were actually pretty good). Dave's class was an every day lecture, like a college course. Tests were on a weekly basis in an essay/multiple choice format, with homework that consisted of essay questions and a long essay, typed, due every week. It was a challenging course, but each and every student got a 4 or above on the advanced placement test for US History. I got a 5 out of 5. Dave Thomson made the class succeed by being demanding, by commanding respect, and indeed by earning respect with his fascinating lectures. He pounded home the lessons of US History and addressed the racial issues firmly and head on. Dave knew details of the horrors of slavery and the atrocities committed against Native Americans, as well as struggles other ethnicities faced as America developed. Dave was not afraid to paint pictures of historical figures or events that weren't as pretty as the textbook. Dave knew so much about all of American history it was incredible. He was never afraid to criticize America, but did so in a constructive manner. Dave was one of the few teachers I had in public school that really made an impact on me. Even at the time I had the perspective to think of another teacher or two, "This professor should be ashamed of his/herself." Dave Thomson, underpaid, no question. -
Wonders never cease--this thread went 11 pages. Musicboy's censorship in this case indicates a lack of *faith* in the quality of the product.

Gene Harris & The Three Sounds Live At The "It" Club is another good 'un. I definitely agree about the Lonnie Smith discs. "Move your hand, 'cause I can't see..." :rsmile: :rsmile:
