I can buy that. The jury might well have gone along with manslaughter or the equivalent but not murder-one. But then the Nancy Graces of the world would be screaming about how soft on crime they were. I don't have any problem with people discussing the case around the water cooler. It is a tragic case with some very unappealing characters involved, so it was tailor-made for media attention. I do have a problem with "tragedy pimps" like Nancy Grace who fill the airwaves with nothing but story after story of child murderers and women being killed by abusive men. It contributes to mental pollution, that's for sure.

Sadly my wife enjoys watching Nancy Grace, as well as Court TV. The closest I've ever had to a real argument with her is trying to get her to turn it off, but she's fascinated by the fake drama of it all. I guess not bothering her anymore about her viewing habits is the price I pay for her not bugging me over my CD collection (though she is certainly glad I am selling off most of it). I do find it unusual that the jury would find in favor of defendent when the defense was playing so fast and loose with the truth (and had some of the worst forensic experts I've ever seen), but so be it.

I do periodically, but I've been really struggling to get everything listed in the first place. Then I can consolidate the lists.

Another 100 here. Down to about 300 still in boxes and some where the UPC code was corrupted. Then I'll circle back around to update condition where necessary. Thanks for looking!

VALIS, though similarly pre-occupied, is quite different. Dick misunderstood his agent's suggestions and rather than make a few revisions he completely reworked the material. I think VALIS is superior to Radio Free Albimuth. Ok, I'll keep that in mind. It turned out that I got the LoA volume which includes VALIS, A Maze of Death, The Divine Invasion and The Transmigration of Timothy Archer.

This seems completely stupid. 7 CDs to cover Armstrong's entire career makes this a "Massive box set"?

So I made it to the Vancouver Jazz Fest as planned. It was fun just hanging around in the park, even though the free acts (while I was there) were not jazz at all. I was pretty psyched to see I could get $5 tickets to see Ingrid Laubrock and Kris Davis with drummer Tyshawn Sorey. I recognized Laubrock from BBC jazz programs. Anyway, I didn't like it at all. It was far too free for me -- moreso than what I had heard on the radio. And the drummer seemed to take his cues from The Bad Plus. It was really out there rock drumming, complete with some gratitous tossing of sticks. I don't think I would have liked a Laubrock/Davis duo either, but the drummer really made it impossible for me to enjoy. I thought Atomic was good, though still challenging. One oddball in the front kept trying to dance to them but the tempos kept changing. In a different thread, there was some discussion of Mingus' legacy. I would say in an odd way, they really do seem in keeping with Mingus's later compositions, pushed slightly in the free jazz tradition. In part because the bass is relatively prominent, and most pieces have at least three tempo shifts. The 7 o'clock show was basically sold out, but the 9 o'clock must have been very light as we were all invited back (gratis) to see the 9 o'clock show. This was somewhat tempting, but as I am exhausted from the plane ride and have to go meet my new boss tomorrow morning, I decided to pass. Assuming all goes well, I should be able to see pretty much the whole Vancouver jazz fest next summer.

Just wrapped up PKD's Radio Free Albemuth. It was a little wearying. I suspect I won't care much for Valis, which has many of the same pre-occupations but is considerably longer. I think I did order a copy a while back, however. I'm about halfway through Suketu Mehta's Maximum City, which is about Bombay/Mumbai. There is definitely some interesting material, though overwhelmingly depressing (sort of like a non-fictional Rohinton Mistry). I do think he needed a much tougher editor, however, as it seems really 40-50% longer than it should be. It would be a really effective 200-250 page portrait of the city. At 500+ pages it is just much too much.

Ok, a few more. Ideally I will have everything listed by Monday, but I will probably have to go back through and update conditions. Please let me know before ordering if spinecuts and holes in UPCs are very important to you.

The listing is going a little slower than expected. I'll have more by tonight and Sat. morning but probably not the entire 700 left on the list. I am actually traveling through Wednesday, so I won't be as fast to respond. If anyone wants to settle up by Sat. morning (rather than waiting for mid-week next week), I can probably arrange that.

If all goes well, I should be seeing Atomic in Vancouver on Sunday.

Nice. I nabbed that for $8 myself a couple years back. Yeah, not the world's greatest score, but I thought Dusty would have it more in the $12-15 range. I had most of the sessions already, but I've never heard the first 6 tracks.

I was awfully surprised to see Sal Salvador Quintet & Quartet in the used bins at Dusty Groove. It appears to be the original Conn (and in good shape), not the new CDR Amazon is pushing. Only $9!

Don't think this is really going to be "my thing" exactly, but DG had the trombones LP for $2, so I figured why not...

Well, speaking only from semi-personal experience, it is possible that since it is out-of-network (note the $2.75 ATM fee), this bank doesn't know the breakdown between savings, checking and investment accounts held at Mr. Tepper's actual bank. It wouldn't be nearly as surprising to have that pooled among three different account types and if the overdraft protection is linking all of them,* then it would look like it was all available. * Sometimes allowed. Other banks only allow overdraft between checking and savings.

So someone asked about the pop/rock I was clearing off the shelves. I went ahead and scanned them, but I am not going to go into an elaborate pricing routine or condition checking. The only one with a special price is the 3 CD set 69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields for $15. I was thinking for the rest - $2 for a standard CD, $1 for CD singles, and $5 for the 2 CD sets. If you buy a lot, I can do some discounting. Given the somewhat embarrassing nature of the music I bought in my early 20s (mostly), this list is coming down over the weekend. Various/Motown Elite 9000 Series by Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, etc.

Wow - that was fast. It's yours.

This UPC thing is pretty cool, but it is a little harder to coordinate to check condition, such as spinecuts and minor scratches to CDs. AFAIK, the only major problems to CDs are the Weston Blue Moses and the last couple of tracks on an Oscar Pettiford put out by Lonehill. And I will just trash those two I guess. I'm pretty sure these are all fine, but if there are problems, I will contact you and adjust price prior to sending anything out. The next (jazz) batch will be checked more carefully.

what two tracks are they? i have the old "onyx" lp and want to know what two tracks i´m missing: The last two: Lady Be Good Sweet Georgia Brown An Amazon reviewer reports they were recorded September 16, 1941 at Monroe's Uptown House w/ Ebenezer Paul on bass and Frankie Newton on trumpet. I can't check the veracity of this at the moment. Possibly/probably on the Storyville box? In any event, in the US, you can download the two tracks separately if you want to go that route.

I guess this goes here. In a roundabout way, I was listening to some of the tracks of Art playing in 1940/41 that are on the HighNote CD God is in the House. Originally on LP, two tracks were added to the CD. These two tracks may be the highlights of the disc actually, so I was glad I passed on the LP over at DG the other day.

Apparently Strozier's on Boss Sounds as well. Currently available as a used LP from DG or Amazon mp3s: http://www.amazon.com/Boss-Sounds-Shelly-Shellys-Manne-Hole/dp/B00122FTW4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1309370305&sr=8-1 I think I'll order the mp3s.

Worked for me. Thanks!

Take it for what it's worth, but this reviewer claims the track isn't from 1975 (there are 3 tracks from a March 1975 Harold Land session issued a few places including inevitably Lonehille (1975 Garden State Jam Sessions)).

Thanks, Jim. If those sources don't give more info it's probably because there ain't. F I have a twofer CD with this on it (probably Collectables) and it might turn up. However, I am pretty sure there is no real info listed.
