  1. This one is, at least, not entirely jazz-centered.
  2. I think the search function can be a bit of a pain in the ass; hence the repetition of some thread ideas. It's no sweat, and obviously people enjoy replying to things like this. Glad to see somebody mentioning Sloan. My favorite of theirs (though I haven't owned all titles in their catalog) is still Twice Removed. It's wry and oblique while retaining the power-pop elements that have made their later releases tick. But it's not as sugary, which is why I like it.
  3. Yeah, I can go for that myself. Me three.
  4. Indeed, Atomizer is a fine one... I prefer the real drums of Rey Washam (in Rapeman) to the Big Black Tools, but whatever. Of course, Daydream is excellent, but Bob Bert really turns me on more than Steve Shelley. Therefore, Bad Moon Rising and the attendant EPs really are my preferred SY albums. I don't have too many favorites, just preferences at this point, but I'm glad to see your list includes more than jazz. For future reference, though, topics like these are usually started in the "Miscellaneous Music" area.
  5. Not all that uncommon. I almost have done that also (tho not to yr mom).
  6. Abdul Wadud - By Myself: Solo Cello - (Bisharra)
  7. Glad I'm not alone in thinking of this song when I think of Dolphy (or Hutch for that matter).
  8. Arthur Blythe - The Grip - (India Navigation) w/ Bob Stewart, Steve Reid, Abdul Wadud, Ahmed Abdullah & Mohamed Abdullah recorded live at Charles Tyler's loft, The Brook, in 1977.
  9. Yeah, dumpy, that's what I meant. Also, though there are several different essays included in the liners, only mine is credited and in a way that makes it look like they are all mine. Joe Phillips' essay is integral to it as well. We have Roy Morris to thank for the discovery of these recordings!
  10. He's selling them to Euclid and they will probably hit eBay.
  11. I don't disagree. Yes, Norman Howard and Don Cherry were more suitable for Ayler's music, particularly on Spirits and Ghosts, respectively. There's a thread somewhere on Norman Howard and his music. Despite some botched graphic/liner issues, Burn Baby Burn is outstanding! Listening to Don Ayler now and his concept is very powerful in the immediate sense.
  12. Abdul Wadud & Julius Hemphill - Live in New York - (Red)
  13. I don't disagree.
  14. RIP. I don't own those Frame LPs but the incentive is rekindled.
  15. Even if I come up "Stimpy," I feel much more like Mr. Horse.
  16. Wow. Say it ain't so!
  17. Yes, I was just attempting to make a point.
  18. No sir, I don't think I'd like that. Not one bit.
  19. More often than not, they don't...
  20. If something oop was downloaded by the theoretical me (I don't download), I suspect I'd probably buy it legitimately if it ever were to be reissued. I try to give back as much as I can in print - writing "reissue this" columns, for example - on the used LPs that I've bought that artists aren't paid for, or find some other way to compensate them if they are still with us.
  21. They reissued on LP at least three titles from the Sun label in France (technically one of which was also an Altsax): Noah Howard - Patterns Noah Howard - In Europe, vol. 1 Alan Silva - The Shout/Portrait from a Small Woman
  22. I think the fiancee was right - jackass probably did deserve it.
