Or she is really recording impressions of the past on a portable tape recorder to take back to her time (a bit like Twelve Monkeys)...

Few more titles: HOLD 5 Philip Cohran Malcolm X Memorial HOLD 5 Philip Cohran Spanish Suite (I should be able to locate Philip Cohran & the Artistic Ensemble if there is interest) 4 J.J.

If anything is of interest, let me know. I'm open to (a bit) of haggling. Thanks. Eric

It's getting so that any great internet song gets many spoofs and the quality has gotten pretty incredible. I like this one (Block You): It also led me to the Gregory Brothers, who are better known as the Auto-Tune the News Guys. Some of their bits are truly epic. I like how they are slowly building a tapestry of different characters, like Sen. Junky Einstein and the Angry Gorilla. Anyway, I think this is their best (Auto Tune the News #6): http://www.youtube.com/user/schmoyoho#p/c/736C3116AD309B58/8/-Psfn6iOfS8

They've played a lot of this on BBC Radio 3, maybe even half the album between Jazz Line-up and esp. Late Junction. Not a fan of male vocals in jazz, and this is worse (for me) than usual. Just as well I heard the preview, since this is an album I would have gotten rid of in a hurry. Too bad, since the tracks without vocals are quite nice, but I couldn't justify getting an album I know I'd skip so much of. Money's too tight to mention, as they say.

Ok, this is definitely up there as a WTF video: Shirt-in-can Longer video Wonder if Groening should ask for a piece of the action, since he featured spray-on Army fatigues and spray-on bikinis in Futurama.

Not sure if this is still available, but I could give it a new home. I can offer this (free shipping to US, bit more elsewhere): Noisettes What's the Time Mr. Wolf

After further reflection, I decided that the particular programs I need to run would probably not run properly on a Mac running Windows because of the I/O demands and distributive computing requirements. It might, but it isn't worth it to me to take the gamble.

This myth of all Mac users saying that viruses will never happen is just that: a myth. What do you mean it's a myth? That there aren't many bloggers who say viruses will never happen to Mac users? Just upthread we have one. Any Mac vs. PC thread will inevitably have a fair number of people chiming in saying Macs are virus-prone. That is not to say ALL Mac users think that way, but enough for a chorus. Hence, it is a myth that all Mac users say that viruses will never happen. Also, I can't find the statement that you're alluding to where someone here said that viruses will never happen to Mac users? I didn't say ALL Mac users think Macs are virus free. I said there would be a chorus. Marcello was passing along some observations: I have no problem admitting Macs are relatively safer and more reliable than PCs. But they are not quite all that their most fervent admirers make them out to be.

Just upthread we have one. Any Mac vs. PC thread will inevitably have a fair number of people chiming in saying Macs are virus-prone. That is not to say ALL Mac users think that way, but enough for a chorus. I liked Mac well enough when I was a student. I don't like my current PC. I run fairly elaborate transportation and statistical modeling software that only functions on Windows (and I have to take work home unfortunately), so I will stick with a PC. I probably could run a Windows-analog on a Mac, but don't think it worth the level of effort to buy a Mac and then get it to run Windows. My experience is that most adult Mac users are awfully smug about being part of the Mac family.

It's the smugness that kills me. As if all Mac users somehow had any part in putting their machines together. As well as the chorus that says there is no conceivable way that anyone could write a virus for Macs -- they're just that awesome. Bullcrap. If it was worth the investment, some hacker could do it. Is it harder than for a Windows machine, sure. But impossible? No.

It definitely seems a lot slower in terms of sales and trades than last year. As far as my stuff, if it isn't moving, it doesn't help me clear those shelves, so it's going to have to go to half.com or to the local stores.

Saw the first concert in a complete Shostakovich String Quartet cycle by the Pacifica Quartet here in Chicago. Next year they will take this to NYC and London, so I guess Chicago is the out-of-town try-outs. Well, that's ok. They were terrific, and I bet the tickets here cost half of what they will next year. I was a little tired and faded out a bit a couple of times, but really enjoyed Quartet 2 and the last few bars of Quartet 3. While I doubt Shostakovich would have known Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time at the time he composed Quartet 3, the effect is similar. There is often something about hearing a piece live that brings just that extra bit of attention compared to listening on CD. I don't recall being that moved by String Quartet 2 before, though I will listen tomorrow to a couple of versions. The Pacifica Quartet said that they would be recording their own cycle, and I might pick it up, depending on pricing. In any case, I'm really looking forward to the rest of the concerts.

Dexter Gordon Mosaic Select for sale. It's in very good shape. I'm asking $75. See top post for details. More CDs to follow shortly. Also $20 Stan Tracey The Early Works 2CDs excellent shape $20 Stan Tracey The Later Works 2CDs excellent shape $35 for both

Yes, I read a few O'Neills, but never found them memorable, unlike Williams. Perhaps some of the difference is because O'Neill belongs to an era pretty distant from our own - so much of his stuff was written in the 20s and the 30s, whereas Williams' key period is at least 20 years later. But, where American drama is concerned, Arthur Miller is my favorite, both for intensity and social message. I've been very fortunate that a company here in Chicago has been doing some of Arthur Miller's real rarities, including Resurrection Blues & After the Fall. I should be able to watch A View from the Bridge later this season, and with that, I'll have seen nearly everything (at least the ones I wanted to see) with the exception of Incident at Vichy (which was done while I was out of Chicago).
