Not a lot to say that others haven't; but this record has a very cool groove which dips into the ilk of "Moon Rappin'" (McDuff) at times, if you're into that.

I picked #10 because I'm an ENTJ!

Bleecker Bob's 118 W 3rd St (between macdougal & avenue of the Americas) New York, NY 10012-1237 Phone: (212) 475-9677 If you go, make sure you get a slice (with fresh Mozz!!!) from Joe's Pizza at 233 Bleecker St! skeith, I think you're right--Mondo Kim's. Wacky place!!!

"Walk like an E-GYP-tian..."

Thanks, skeith--I think that's the place I'm thinking of. Anyone else? Thanks!

I think we've played "fun with internet translation" before, but here's Babel Fish's take on the first paragraph: 2002 As best artists Madonna, Herbert Groenemeyer, Tom Jones, Cher, and Santana are distinguished. To the Top hits Westlife with "Uptown Girl" belong, the NO Angels with "universe Cried Out", Kelly Osbourne with "dad Don't Preach", Madonna with "American Pie". The music industry experiences for the first time after a long boom time a recession in sales. As main causes it makes the copying of CDs, come into mode, and an exchanging of music files in the InterNet responsible. In order to make the Kids clear that copying music damages letzendlich the artists, the industry starts the campaign "Copying Music is Killing Music". Und so weiter!!! Was it Miles Davis who used to translate Aric's screeds? Helfen uns, bitte!

War is peace! Freedom is slavery! Ignorance is strength! - and - No is yes!

My wife and I are heading to NYC on Saturday because she needs to shop for a dress! Accordingly, I intend to get some gitback by indulging in an afternoon of crate digging. Other than Jazz Record Center and Academy Records' jazz location, are there other places any of you can recommend? I recall a book store in/near the Village that used to have a fairly nice selection, and you can occasionally get lucky at Bleecker St. Bob's, but how about some hidden gems? Thanks in advance, everyone! Peter

Definitely keep it as-is. That's the way we can allow the "teacher" to provide a disc with theme, if he/she wishes, or just whatever comes to mind, if that's the desire of the day.

Chiming in WAYYYYY late in the game, having received my disc today. I'm four songs into it with a dinner engagement in my near future, so I will try to post my thoughts later tonight. So far, I LOVE it! Thanks Dan! Peter J

Or Philadelphian shores, for that matter ...hopefully Tuesday!

Greetings-- Looking for a copy of this CD (combines two records, to the best of my knowledge) which I can't find anywhere (other than a couple of usurious used prices on Amazon & Half). Anyone got an extra? Thanks in advance! Peter J

ANY other "E"s on the board?

I'll be damned. As I've aged, so has my score! I now appear to be an ENTJ. What does it all mean...

Hmmmm...we all get along swimmingly, but I'm an ESTJ

all normal!

Jim, et al: It's my fervent hope that little by little we can spread the gospel to change this around. Maybe it's a pipe dream, but to take your wedding example: I have a lot of friends who know I love music--so they often ask me for advice re who to use for their weddings. When I got married in Seattle, we engaged a nonet. We had a choice between about three bands; two were fairly close in price, one was, as you said, severely undercutting the competition. Talking to the two expensive bands, one of which was fronted by a bass player, I asked about similar repertoire, starting with the question, "can you guys play "Better Get (H)it in your Soul?" The bass-playing leader of one nonet said, "can we play it? I can do you one better. Bob Hammer (Mingus' erstwhile pianist and bass player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) is in our group, and he'll bring the original lead sheets." The other leader didn't know what I was talking about. Can you guess which one we used, gladly, regardless of the price? They worked their way through Mingus, trane, Miles, Prima, Miller, you name it; and nary a "YMCA" in the set. Now I know I may not be the typical "jazz band" consumer, what with my interest in keeping this music alive. But you know what? Three years later I still have people calling me and asking, "the band you had that played all that old jazz--do you have a contact number?" Thought I'd toss out the "ottimista" viewpoint... PJ

Beck to Boogaloo Dwele (self-titled) Pet Sounds Straight no Filter

Get it. If you don't, you'll always wonder...then you'll see it again in two years for double the price and buy it to satisfy your curiosity. Get it!

Sorry for the late update, but "King George" (the real one! ) will be playing with his cast of thousands at Robin Hood Dell tomorrow night. See this site for details. Tix are only $15--got mine at Tower today (ticketbastard) and looks like some are still available. "Make my funk the P-funk..."

Hellyeah! And what the hell:

There's a LOT of common ground here--VERY bizarre. One of the more musically-able among us should try to come up with some consistencies. Of everything that's been mentioned, I'm pretty much down with it all (including my previous affirmation of the Gino Vanelli sub-thread): Thomas Dolby (Particularly "Astronauts & Heretics," a GENIUS album) Dr. Dre, "Chronic" Snoop Dogg, "Doggystyle" Cure, "Head on the Door" Digable Planets Cheap Trick add to this Whitesnake, and Scorpions Oh yeah, and Soulstation, Blue Train, Kind of Blue, etc. etc. etc. What the HELL is up with that. Great use of chords?

I've been looking for "Steppin' Out" for years! Anyone got an extra beat up vinyl copy they'd like to move to a good home? *comes back to reality*

I'll drink to that!

When will THIS be reissued?
