I haven't all the records you listed, but I have all the original Doors lps and this instrument in my garage, may I keep posting?

In case you wish to visit Dubai Dubai fines drunken Italian for taxi kiss. DUBAI (AFP) - A tipsy Italian visitor to the relatively liberal Gulf emirate of Dubai has reportedly been fined nearly 3,300 dollars for hugging and kissing a woman in public. According to the Gulf News daily, a court in the Muslim emirate heard a policeman say he saw the couple hugging and kissing in a taxi near the international airport, Gulf News said. He took the unidentified man and his Egyptian acquaintance to a police station for questioning. The two "confessed to hugging and kissing inside the taxi," and the Italian also admitted to being drunk. He was fined 12,000 dirhams (3,270 dollars) after being "charged with drinking alcohol and lewd behavior in public" and his companion had to pay 545 dollars for "lewd behavior in public," the newspaper said. Dubai, a member of the United Arab Emirates federation, currently boasts five million visitors a year -- many of them Westerners -- for its population of 1.2 million. It is targeting 10 million by 2007 and 40 million by 2015. The affluent emirate is in the midst of a drive to establish itself as the Gulf's business and leisure hub.

I am sure you will be deriding Susan Sontag any moment now as a screwed up person, and that you hope that her ignorance was not passed on to her children. You could accuse Sontag of everything, but ignorance. Interesting -- when I read the Susan Sontag thread yesterday, I was thinking of contrasting it with this Reggie White thread -- because right there in the Times obit, and specifically quoted by Deus62, was this string of adjectives: "She was described, variously, as explosive, anticlimactic, original, trendy, iconoclastic, captivating, hollow, rhapsodic, naïve, sophisticated, approachable, abrasive, aloof, attention-seeking, charming, condescending, populist, puritanical, sybaritic, sincere, posturing, ascetic, voluptuary, right-wing, left-wing, mannered, formidable, brilliant, profound, superficial, ardent, bloodless, dogmatic, challenging, ambivalent, accessible, lofty, erudite, lucid, inscrutable, solipsistic, intellectual, visceral, reasoned, pretentious, portentous, maddening, lyrical, abstract, narrative, acerbic, opportunistic, chilly, effusive, careerist, sober, gimmicky, relevant, passé, facile, illogical, ambivalent, polemical, didactic, tenacious, slippery, celebratory, banal, untenable, doctrinaire, ecstatic, melancholic, humorous, humorless, deadpan, rhapsodic, aloof, glib, cantankerous and clever. No one ever called her dull." None of us who marked her passing thought it was cruel to say any of those things -- it was just honest -- Susan Sontag, of course, lived long enough to revisit and revise things she'd said earlier...

Allman Brothers Band "Eat A Peach" Capricorn; Well, lately I am in a rock mood...

Don't take it personally, I am sure your grandpa was a great person, but the meaning of the word "progress" involves that you elaborate something better than what you learned. I don't think as Chris does that RW "failed the more important test as a decent human being", (I am dubious about human being). I never heard of RW before this thread, but he was a public person, his acts and his speeches were public, I think everybody has the right to criticize them. I don't think that every dead man is equal. Talking again about Hitler, have you the same respect for the dead man "Hitler" and for the dead man "Ghandi"? In a religious perspective you could pray for their souls, but in a historic perspective death doesn't absolve all sins.

Maybe you remember W. Allen in Manhattan Murder Mystery: "I can't listen to that much Wagner, ya know? I start to get the urge to conquer Poland"

My condolences to Elizabeth

Usually, the next step of these factious self-called historians is to justifing Hitler as a reactions against communism, a further step is denying Holocaust in some way. Quoting the early Marx and Engels out of the contest without a historic perspective is everything, but history. I am sure one could depict you as a dangerous terrorist, like Tim McVeigh, simply quoting your posts in the forum in such way and adding the right dose of intellectual dishonesty showed by the guy you quoted

Well, that is an example. They all gouge on the OOP stuff nowadays. Acoustic Sounds has been doing it for years. Look at some of their OOP 45rpm Classic Records prices. Anyway, RT is okay by me, OOP Mosaics aside. In my experience Mosaics are always overpriced in on-line shops, Ebay is far better in this case. If you want to have an idea about Mosaic prices, and jazz Lp in general, on Ebay you can check out POPSIKE. http://www.popsike.com/index.html

Nah, I think this guy is our man...

I think Bruce Willis will be too old for the job then...

Cave's rents will rise...

Another answear could be that all jazz lovers are suspect.

Also interesting how people put more weight on the comments rather than on the whole man's life. Especially on one they've never met. Did you know Reggie White? No, but I think I'll give more credence to those who did (those quoted in the ESPN story) than to those who didn't (pretty near everyone in this thread). Do you know those people who knew Reggie White?

Was the victim a maiden killed during lunch time? Film directors love this symbolic stuff

I didn't know anything about Reggie White, and football ( I mean american football, we play "real" football, that you call erroneously "soccer", as every UK member of this board can explain you ), but this thread confirms me that the good old times of Mohamed Alì and Tommy Smith are gone.

Oops! When I made the new forum everything got shifted. Would you folks rather have it back towards the bottom? Do you mean back to B-Side?

Do you mean that we europeans are the Christmas Avantgarde? MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This might tell you something about the "high end audio" marketers and by extension, the followers. Few of these "experts" dealt with this stuff "back then". But EQs were the top of "high end audio" marketers and by extension, the followers, only fifteen years ago

Don Cherry "Complete Communion" from Cherry's Mosaic set. I love Gato when he doesn't indulge on self satisfaction.

All ECM titles, and some spare vinyl, is available at ECM website: http://www.ecmrecords.com/Startseite/startseite.php. I ordered from them some LPs, no discount, but nice service.

Exactly, why should I buy "Kind of Blue" if I have a Columbia first pressing or a Classic vinyl reissue or a Mosaic Lp set or a 24bit remastered cd? A part multichannel that I don't care, how much does the sound quality will improve with a SACD?
