  1. Creedence Clearwater Revival - COSMO'S FACTORY - Analogue Production reissue. Dude, I love these guys!
  2. Actually, I am not sure if this is the corrct place to post it. Shouldn't we have " MISCELLANEOUS-NON-POLITICAL VERY STOOPID THING" section for such stuff? http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/08/23/...p;attr=_3197168
  3. :party: Enjoy it.
  4. In contrast to all the fat American (and non-American) jazz fans? Guy Talk for yourself Guy! Yurpean forum's members are hundred-percent fat-free.
  5. However that may be, I know better then my wife where are the RED wines in the cellar and where are PINK Floyd and Deep PURPLE albums on the shelves.
  6. I already thought about it but I dropped the idea. The point is that I couldn't find a safe way to kill all the slaves that build the mausoleum and someone who kill the killer of the slaves, and the killer of the killer of the slaves...ecc.. You will be at risk of forum's tomb raiders anyway.
  7. According to Goldmine the first Lateef stereo is on Prestige (1968), the NJ pressings (1962, 1965) are mono. The Young is reported mono on NJ, no other stereo reissue on my Goldmine copy.
  8. In hell they play only Megadeath, Metallica, Marilyn Manson and stuff like that, so if you don't like it, it's better you start to behave like a good christian guy.
  9. I don't know about the recordings, but (all) New Jazz LP's were only released in mono. AFIK you're right, all the NJ original pressing I have are monos, some of the later reissues on Prestige label are rechanneled, like "Dolphy In Europe".
  10. I forgot it On youtube I found this about The Dude
  11. What exactly does he suppose to win? A place as master DJ residents in St. Peter RKWT?
  12. Are they better then the Riverside?
  13. Good point, though a bit depressing. Lately I am thinking about it. I have enough music for the rest of my life. I mean you don't really "own" a record until you "know" it and you don't really "know" it after a couple of spins. After a compulsory period of time that lasted ten years when I bought dozens of records per week, now I am focusing on my existing collection, I am spending more money on tweaking my hi-fi gear (yes, I'll talk about this new compulsory problem with my psychiatrist) instead of buying hundreds of new records that I'll never "know", because of lacking of time.
  14. Ubu, apologize accepted. I would have used some movie's pict, like "Goodfellas","The Godfather" or "The Sopranos" to remark Sangrey's concept, I'd find it more appropriate in this contest. And yes, italian mafias, "'ndragheta" in the recent german slaughter, are a worldwide problem. Like Yakuza, russian mafia or triad society. I was personally affected by mafia: the brother of a good friend died killed by accident in a mafia's payback in Palermo some years ago. In a thread dedicated to such thing I'd find appropriate Ubu's post. wiki on Dalla Chiesa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Alberto_Dalla_Chiesa
  15. tough guy style: Sorry Ubu, but I find the attached image in your post pretty offensive and tasteless, considering that is a real picture of real dead people: Gen. Dalla Chiesa and his wife killed by mafia. A brave, faithful and honest policeman slaughtered for having done his duty. Totally out of contest in such thread.
  16. I think it's a serial mouse. It doesn't connect to a USB port, just a little round socket with lots of holes in it. MG If you have to replace it, my suggestion is that you buy one of the new Logitech wireless mouses. They whorth every penny. When you will accustomed to them, you'll discovered how useful, ergonomic and accurate they are.
  17. Listening, and cleaning, (since I bought a VPI RCM I am listen to every record I have in order to cleaning it, so I discovered some forgotten gems, and some crap too, in my collection) THE CONCERT FOR BANGLADESH. Anyway a good and useful way to realize what I have on the shelves. I still like this one, after so many years.
  18. Eddie Harris - THE ELECTRIFYING EDDIE HARRIS - Four Men With Beard reissue.
  19. Well, if you weren't Italian, I'd say it doesn't really matter, as Columbus didn't discover America. You're right, let's put the issue in this way: Columbus "practically" discovered Americas, as Native Americans, from Alaska to Capo Horn know at great expense. The earlier settlements in eastern NA of european people didn't produce the very same effects.
  20. First you have to clean it. Sometimes the ball inside the mouse is blocked by dirt. If you have an optical mouse clean the lense. And if you use Windows you have to reinstall the driver too or...buy a Mac.
  21. In my experience, the same can be said for most people, not just Americans. I think that is not true. I was struck, on my first visit to Africa, how wide-ranging people's general knowledge of the world and world affairs was. I tend to avoid tourist centres when I go on holiday and on my first trip to Africa stayed in a town with a European population of about two, in a motel whose clientele was exclusively African. And I did a lot of listening; not so much to the other guests, who obviously were able to afford to stay in a cheap motel, but to the staff - the dishwasher, cleaner, receptionist, cook, laundry girls, and so on. Their knowledge of world current events went WAY beyond my own. And almost all of them spoke three, four or five languages. MG You can't generalize on matters like this. In Chiapas I met an old men (lacandonian) who didn't know what Europe is, his only geographical clue was that the Pope stayed somewhere overseas. He was unable to read, though he spoke decently enough to have a conversation in spanish with me. In my latest holiday I was in Turkey. When we left Instanbul and the mediterranean coast and headed to Anatolia, we found very few persons who speak any languages, a part turk, the few we meet, approched us in the streets, we were the only single tourists a part the organized tours. They were ansious to practicing english and curious about our culture. They were obviously cultivated people with a knowledge of world current way beyond italian common people. No need to say that the olders were former immigrants and the youngers complained about the strict social control (religion, family, tradition) that they suffered in their country. About the title thread, if it was referred to a statistic among high schools' student, I find it worrying, if it's referred to the whole U.S. population, I still find it worrying, but reasonable. About maps: a map is a conventional code, like every code if you don't know how to interpretate it, you can't read map. A satirical TV program made a number of interviews to our parliament's member. Most of them didn't know when Columbus discovered America or when occurred WW I, thinghs like that is really scaring. Just for laugh this is our Vice PM and Ministry of Culture and Tourism:
  22. I have the very same feeling...if only I could find a Clementine/italian dictionary on the web.
  23. Kay: We are the best kept secret in the galaxy. We monitor, licence and police all alien activity on the Earth. We're your first, last, and only line of defense. We live in secret, we exsist in shadow. Jay: And we dress in black.
  24. I don't like the part about "leper colony", could we head to Polynesia instead?
