Thank God for Uptown!

When I had the domestic copy I really didn't notice much difference between the two.

It is different: Hit the quote button, as many times as you want and when you have all the posts you want to quote selected, hit the add reply button.

A Scanner Darkly is a wonderful book in its way! I was a little disappointed to learn of the animation-overlay of the upcoming movie too. But I would kid myself to say I was not gong to go see it.

In some ways you can't miss. It's great. . .b u t it doesn't have a cohesive feel of "one show" that I really like, so I don't find myself reaching for it too often. But there's no reason to avoid it. Great sound and choice performances.

mgraham, I think that an email to Chuck may be in order!

"Stepping Stones" is due out as a reissue July 26! I haven't any news of the other reissues. . . .

In Ethiopia I had a sandwhich snatched from my hand by a "kite" --a hawk of the area-- at an outdoor picnic like event! This was not an uncommon occurance. And those birds are big enough you don't argue with them.

Well, I don't care any longer. Bo and Carrie. . . what a choice. I don't really care for either of them! Rock or country. . . not an exciting choice for me either!

Texas birds are like that. There's a momma Mockingbird right now two buildings away with a nest near a sidewalk throughfare going to a parking garage that attacks walkers by (divebombs them). Several have been so startled that they fall down and two have hurt themselves (a little). We can't remove the bird nest, it's a protected state bird near a state building. BUT I saw three young ones on a treebranch near the nest starting to spread their wings and fly, so we'll soon not have the problem. . . til next spring. This is the second year of pedestrian terrorizing!

Mine undoubtedly needs a new battery, but it worked the last four times I changed the battery. However, I don't wear a watch but about once every three years! And I actually prefer my old Timex "GI Issue" looking watch with the olive drab nylon web strap. . . .

Mike Hammer is way off my map too. Now reading: Philip K. Dick with Gwen Lee, "What if Our world were Their Heaven?"

The Mosaic cd set is light on the bass on almost all sessions, and has an edginess I wish weren't there. . . . The Connoisseurs of the individual titles released so far are an improvement on the Mosaic cd soung.

You know it's interesting. . . the TOCJ I have of this title is a Ron McMaster remaster!

It's BETTER. "That much" is hard to say because that's hard to qualify, it is to my ears better, less smoothed out, a hair more dynamic.

Though I say that as a big McDonald fan, but I'm more a fan of Chandler. No one writes like that! When he was ON he was untouchable.

But isn't that also McDonald modeling himself after Chandler's Marlowe who you really don't know that much about, and the Op of Hammett's who is an enigma entirely personal history wise?

I'm with Mark. The two years I spent in American high school are the low point of my life. The only friends I made were with the freaks, and they haven't attended any of the reunions since 1973 either. I never was rarely among people I had less in common with. I couldn't wait to leave that place and I'll not go anywhere near that assembled group if I don't have to.

This is fantastic music, and this is the best version of the material I've heard (sonicswise!) Recommended!

It's been a Japanese cd.

Ironically he is going to appear in the two hour season finale of CSI tomorrow night, directed by Quinton Tarantino! Tarantino especially wanted him for the part. . . .

I'd love to have a reunion with my old mates at Waterford-Kamhlaba School in M'Babane, Swaziland! But I haven't gone to any of the reunions that were held by my class of Berkshire High School, Burton, Ohio since our 1973 graduation. . . .

Maybe. . . .

Oh I definitely think the producers through the judges ARE pushing the white performers. . . . I'm not saying that Vonzell ISN'T generic, I just think she's more talented than the others, and she appeals to me ten times more. Ironically, I think that without that nudge Carrie and Bo may not have been in the top three. The public that seems to tune in to Idol in droves and vote have in fact voted for R and B singers over white rocker and country persons in the past seasons.
