Oh my god, Alexander, that totally takes me back--the spinning logos and the great sound effects: buh-duh-dee-duh-buh-duh-dee-duh-buh-duh-dee-duh-buh-duh-dee-duh-DEEEEEEEEEEE! Gettin' all misty just thinking about it!

Jim, Joe, Randy, it's the LEAST I can do after you all put this community together. And don't worry--I'm not giving up, I'm just trying to walk that fine line between being a royal pain in the ass and persistent, getting these folks to realize there's something sweet going on with this trio from Michigan. I won't sleep until I know they've listened, dammit!!!

Damn, I think this is about the most depressing thread I've ever read on this site. I think it depends a little on whether the environment is urban, exurban or suburban, though; there's never a shortage of people out and drinking at places in (downtown) Philadelphia--places with live music or just bars. They're always packed--so I'm not willing to stick a fork in the barhopping scene just yet. As to the live music scene, well, I can't speak to that directly, because I don't play gigs. But I know it's tough to break into the scene just from trying to get some ears on Organissimo's CD here in town. I don't know whether bar owners are lazy, or swamped with people trying to get "heard," or what, but on my followups with places I've taken Jim's press kit, I just keep hearing "we haven't gotten to it yet," "we'll listen to it soon," "we get lots of submissions," etc. etc. etc. Aggravating!

Happy birthday, Phil! A littly birdy tells me that "NW Prevailing Winds" will be under my Christmas tree this year--can't wait!

thanks Maren, it's nice to get a cake once in a while. I have no fat cats either and deus isn't visiting, so I will have it all for myself. What's the matter--Rockefeller Center didn't invite you for lunch (and a few smokes ) im Wien?

Glueckliche Geburtstag, John! Wish I could be there having one of these with you!

New York, USA pressing--stereo. DAMN this record kicks ass! One of the best sounding original BN's I've got.

Happy birthday, Ghost!

Jandek?

Well done, Paul--good luck with the new gig!

Happy birthday, Theo! We (heart) your son for creating this amazing community, and you for getting him involved with the B3!

Absolutely! I love Ted Templeman's production. I've had those two on wax for years, and I've completely worn them out. The CD remasters aren't bad. Red Streamliner--awww yeah! Glad I'm not alone!

Thanks, couw!

Don't laugh--I'm on a Ted Templeman kick: and plus a little brit pop on the side:

Wow, Jeff--I want some of what you're having!

Didn't B3er type the whole damn thing in? Can't find the link, for some reason...

Arrived in Philadelphia this weekend. Sounds tasty so far...looking forward to spending some time with this one. Thanks, Milan!

Up for a little weekend air with prices lowered.

Freddie Roach, "Good Move"

Nah, it's the new De La Soul rekkid for me--

I got Seattle #1 and Philadelphia #2. for how they figured it out, but good, because a) I live in Philly now, and love it, and b) am moving to Seattle in January! No Arkansas for this microbrew-drinkin' fool!

Up for some Sunday air...

Let me know via PM if there's anything you want! Prices include shipping to the states; international, add difference between what it would cost to ship stateside and what it would cost to ship to where you are. Everything is in excellent shape unless noted otherwise. Paypal (transfer from a bank account) is probably easiest, although I'll take a check if we've traded before. Thanks for looking!

Jim, I asked my wife (who is a pediatrician) to read through this thread. She didn't have any great diagnostic thoughts, but strongly recommended you continue to hound the academic neurology department you've already called. She says a lot of people call and leave messages, then complain two weeks later that nobody calls back. I know you guys aren't in that situation, and certainly that's not great business, but she said "just call until you get someone on the line--as many times as it takes". She also said that this might not be something an ER will be able to pick up on or help with. So I guess the operative word is, be a pain in the ass until you get someone on the line who can help you. Sorry we couldn't offer more help; as with the others, you guys are in our thoughts. Take care of yourselves.
