  1. Jackson Browne, Neil Young,...stuff like that.
  2. This afternoon: some Haydn (symphonies), Beethoven (piano concertos), Haendel (concerti grossi) and Jefferson Airplane (After Bathing At Baxter's)
  3. Skype, usually I use it for international call, my son in SF and relatives in Argentina. Great service and quality, totally free.
  4. It will be the Credence "best of" remastered from the original cassette played in "The Big Lebowsky". As you remember it was stolen during the shooting, but Steve Hoffmann's crew traced it down to a pawn shop at Santa Monica. Amazing story! Both SACD and 45 rpm vinyl issues, of course.
  5. The Who - Happy Jack - Decca, mono.
  6. Sweet memories. I lived in Ladbroke Grove for two years, and the places sidewinder named were my hunting playground, twentyfive years ago, more or less, no money then, but I spent hours looking at stuff I couldn't afford. BTW there was a tiny used cd shop close to Notting Hill tube station, I guess it's long gone.
  7. I have this one: specs here In "active mode" I can't hear any improvements in my today set up, whatever the "gurus" of The Absolute Sound might say. Actually it was really effective in my previous home, where power supply was very "bad". In "passive mode" don't know, I should try a nice multi-plug adapter for compare. I am considering to sell it, as far I can found a cheap and good multi-plug adapter.
  8. Hank Mobley's presence on that Roach session probably explains the high price! My copy looks just as good Yep, mine too, time to sell some records, buy a yatch and sail to Tahiti!
  9. Removing the dust from my Ry Cooder albums.
  10. As a cactus' lover myself, I appreciate the cactus section.
  11. Living in a big city, with dozens of theaters close home, I don't need any player for new realesed movies. And if I lost something in winter, in summer they are showed in open arenas with reduced price. Plus I try to catch all the classics when they are showed at movieclubs. Actually when my dvd player failed I didn't buy a new one. I didn't buy dvd either, I used to rent them, but since the rental disappeared...
  12. Words.
  13. Touching story. Thanks for posting.
  14. Words. Look at "hi-fi" stuff. For nearly three decades it was among the coolest things in any middle class family, whatever they listen to music or not, and records were a cool present. For a very short period of human history, music industry was THE "home" entertainment.
  15. Followin the link of Byrd in Paris I discovered the seller sold a first pressing of an italian book I have, 650 $. Never considered the books I inherited from my father something different then "cultural and emotional heritage", but, man 650 $.
  16. Personally I don't think LA is one of the great athletes of our time, whatever the doping allegations will be proved or not.
  17. I saw them in Spain one, or two, years ago. Actually I remember when I bought cheap jazz records at the newstand when I was a teenager. It was a "Giants of Jazz" series, quite good for the stuff on it: Coltrane's Olè, Davis' Round Midnight, etc. Not the original covers and labels, but the albums was there, for one third of the price. And the booklets had good essays from prominent italian jazz critics and lots of photos. I gave all them to a friend's son, when he started to study double bass, as a present.
  18. Curtis Fuller - Boss Of The Soul-Stream Trombone - Warwick, Fresh Sound reissue.
  19. Kenny Burrell - K.B. Blues - BN, king.
  20. Lou Donaldson - Everything I Play Is Funky - BN, japan pressing.
  21. "Whatever Works" is his best "late" movie, IMHO, so damn honest, such a very personal statement about love, ageing, and the meaning of life.
  22. Only for this, you definitely should call Woody Allen's therapist.
  23. Oopps again, sorry, corrected.
