  1. Ditto on this and Sangrey's posts.
  2. I never used Time Machine on my old 2005 iMac. Properly pointed now, though I'm still not seeing the library. I'll figure it out when I have more time.
  3. Yeah, I just picked up the new iMac and bought AppleCare. Will go back through and see if I can link up my EHD music to iTunes; I've already noticed that there is no "Music" folder on the computer by default. My old computer was running a very old OS X version btw.
  4. Thanks for hipping me to this stuff - she's definitely onto something with the new material. I dig it.
  5. Yeah the Rothko exhibition in Houston is excellent. Stella retro at the Whitney did not disappoint - went yesterday, and was more impressed by the arc of his post-70s work than I expected to be, given that most of my interest has been in his stripe, irregular polygon and protractor paintings. The Motley show was also excellent. Alberto Burri at the Guggenheim was also fantastic, despite the better efforts of the space and clientele to get in the way of some truly fascinating art.
  6. thanks folks! off to a great start with a tweaked lower back...
  7. MJT + 3 - Daddy-O Presents... - (Cadet/Victor JP)
  8. Gonna buy a new Mac this weekend and (not) looking forward to the migration. All of my shit is on an EHD. Shawn has been very helpful with my problems before and I'm glad to see him weighing in here. He knows his stuff! I'll try to follow the directions in this thread, which is better than anything on Apple support.
  9. He claims around 120, which I'd believe. chewy - yeah, the West Coast stuff is strong though - and I dig Solemn Meditation. I don't think Carla is all that out, but her music is very interesting. Annette is more out, and differently interesting. Bley was a motherfucker of an artist and as weird as things got, there was always a reference to a theme or an idea, and often an underpinning of a bluesy Latinate groove.
  10. Paul Bley - Blood - (Fontana, JP) I haven't had much time to settle into Bley's music since hearing of his departure, though he and his work have been with for me for many ear-tuned years. Christ what an artist...
  11. Well, they say half of life is just showing up!
  12. the things I've heard have all been very good.
  13. I saw Bley once with Marc Johnson and Lee Konitz. It wasn't the concert I was hoping for but it was the concert I got to see.
  14. that site is an aggregator and not itself worth trusting. In other words, if you put in "Stereojack death hoax" it would come up with "Stereojack" in the place of "Paul Bley." DAMN. Sad news.
  15. First I've heard of this, but he's not a young man and has been battling a variety of ailments in recent years. did a quick Twitter search and came up with a few mentions of his possible departure, but all linked to Facebook posts that have been taken down.
  16. Yeah, I would assume this is related to digital media copyright issues. Independent stations are getting screwed by this sort of approach and it was problematic for the Austin community station I volunteered with.
  17. Ah, yeah I have a UK Polydor pressing from I assume the early 70s.
  18. What Stanley Cowell record is that?
  19. Roswell Rudd - The Definitive Roswell Rudd - (Horo, IT) recent holiday buy, and a wonderful little album.
  20. Charles Kynard - Afro-Disiac - (Prestige, blue label)
  21. Brigitte Fontaine & Areski - L'Incindie - (BYG Japan)
  22. Baden-Baden '75 is good. Jahrmarkt appeared on one side of the Po Torch LP Jahrmarkt/Local Fair.
  23. Grace Slick & The Great Society - How It Was - (Columbia 2-eye Stereo)
