my baby (3 1/2) always asks me to put on some jazz music! As the father of a 13-year-old, trust me: that will end. Indeed, when they want listen to "Metallica" or "Motorhead" on you cd player... and this is only a very short time, after you tried in vain to teach them who were the Led Zeppelin, they will move towards Techno and DUB... a lost battle. On the positive side consider that you'll not have a bunch of drunked teenagers handling your records.

An used copy of the NYT will work as well, and it's cheaper.

Just edited it. Works now I think. Nope, but don't worry too much, I am really not craving for being a homeless with a lot of records.

AUGURI!

Medjuck, the link doesn't work, and it happens I have just three million $ spare, so may you please provide the correct link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...collection.com/

Mine is 1118, FWIW.

What I meant is that he'd be a GREAT even if he'd spent the rest of his life playing golf with Ronald Reagan. Now there's a topic for discussion. If Jackson Pollock lived, who would he play golf with, Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan? Or would he just drip paint instead? Look at Jack Kerouac, he ended up his life as alcoholic with his old mother, ranting against hippies and communists, shall we drop his works for that? I made a distinction between works and artists.

Look at the dead wax: my Speakers Corner's copy of Love Supreme has all hand made written, As-77-A/ As-77-B) and someting like KALCAT 1? Assuming that is a Speakers Corner, at least I payed it as SC years ago

Not my fave, but a great one. IMHO a bit overrated as novelist, not as intectual, because of the turmoil of the sixties. 'L'Année dernière à Marienbad' is a great movie, anyaway. RIP

About Pollock, the painter, I saw the big exhibition in Paris in 1982, it was quite an experience. About alcoholic and the premature death and the all the leftist critics, BULLSHIT! He was a damn great painter, like Rotkho. And I invite you all to see his painting "Summertime" at the Modern Tate, London, an enlightening experience, not different from some cornerstones of jazz history like Kind Of Blue or A Love Supreme. In other words, EDC's words, fuck you if you didn't understand the GREAT JACKSON POLLOCK!

I read that one of the reason of the Blue-Ray's victory is its, supposed, highest copy protection tools. Nice, like SACD I presume. Go on, take no prisoners. I bet that in five years, Blue-Ray Disc will have the same market of SACD.

Well, the problem is, once you do it, you're kind of stuck. In the incestual (is that a word?) world of jazz bulletin boards, jazzmoose is pretty well known, but who the hell ever heard of Mark Combs? And once you're known by that name, you're just as "googlable". The different names on different boards I don't understand, although I used "Mrs. Anne Elk" on JazzCorner for a while. I don't think I fooled anyone, but then it wasn't my intention to do so. I think I recall Mrs. Elk--she was a dear. A dear or a deer?

Interesting points, but I don't know what to make of them. You're not supposed to, I'd like to deeping the things if I'd have some skills, like reading sheet music for example.

Welcome aboard, Pollock. Don't forget to mail at moderators you credit card numbers and all your pins and paypal passwords. This is the way we calm down the bad guys here. A "f***" is 100$ fine into the BB account. Badmounthing's fine depends on wich and what you say: obviously badmounthing a senior member has a biggest fine then a new one. As you can see we are a friendly and libertarian community. BTW do you still have that painting called "Summertime", I'd interested to trade with a couple of original BN pressings of your choice.

Out of topic, but I found this on Wiki: Theosophist and composer Dane Rudhyar wrote that Scriabin was "the one great pioneer of the new music of a reborn Western civilization, the father of the future musician", and an antidote to "the Latin reactionaries and their apostle, Stravinsky" and the "rule-ordained" music of "Schoenberg's group." that sounds frightening and interesting at the same time. I admit I am very fond of history so "reborn Western Civilization" "Latin reactionaries" and "rule-ordained" clicked my curiosity, considering the story of XX century. Interesting perspective, though paradoxical, considering that Stravinsky was a cosmopolitan russian who spent most his life in Western Civilized world and Schoenberg a jew, banned by the "rule-ordained " Nazis. So where's the place of Scriabin in the stream of History, at the end he spent most of his life in Russia, well, the western cultural part of Russia. Just a sidenote, might worths some investigation...or Dane Rudhyar said a bullshit. Sorry, I might have post it in the Coherence is overrated thread. I beg your pardon, go on with the thread.

I like it ! Do not undestand why "Moonflower" is so overlooked, too. Me too. The 'live' enviromental forced the band to play some good stuff, instead of the pretencious studio albums like 'Love Devotion and Surrender'. I listened to it after 'Lotus', with such a band, McLaughling, Larry Young, Billy Cobham, etc...truly disappointing, though McLaughing has his (too short) moments. Never heard 'Moonflower'.

Buon Compleanno!
