  1. Never saw them. . . I was in Addis Ababa in 1967 . . . ! Every now and then I would get to see some Ethiopian TV at a neighbor's house. . . and the most interesting thing I saw was "Thunderbirds" (which is going to be a movie!)
  2. Although come to think of it. . . Mr. A would make a nice weird movie. . . !
  3. Give me Ditko's Dr. Strange. . . or give me The Spirit! But I'll take Spiderman 2 with Doc Ock in the meantime. . . I'm eager to see it. I liked the first one, the one thing I really most wish had been different in that one was the Goblin; I think they should have had the really funny looking purple and green Goblin from his first appearances in print. . . the contrast between his goofiness and his ruthlessness was poignant!
  4. Don't do it! Save your money for the lean years ahead of us as we battle terror endlessly! Well. . .I tried. I'm probably most looking forward to the Dex and the Dinah!
  5. Oh so it's that one eh? I know I'll cave soon enough!
  6. No, I don't have any way to burn from downloading, and I don't have much opportunity to listen on the computer at home (my wife is very amusical and the computer is smack dab in her area).
  7. Hey is this a good place to say that I don't like the guidelines they have for cd reviews? Nah, I don't think so! We SHOULD foster a rapport between the two sites I feel. Glad to see that there is talking going on between the administrators.
  8. If that's a sin. . . well. . . it's a good thing I don't believe in the conventional afterlife options. . . .
  9. No! Not one more word about that box set! (Because I don't have it and want to NOT spend money!) Listening to Dick's Picks Volume One right now. . . Weather Report Suite. . . wish I could listen to it LOUDER but people in the "office" here just refuse to LEAVE!
  10. Good advice! Filles was one of the very first Miles lps I ever heard and remains one of my favorites. . . . Don't pass it by!
  11. Also possible is that your friend's system is likelier to be tube based, and there is a lot of talk that tube systems can benefit/exhibit more from cleaner power. . . .
  12. I've heard from someone who got theirs from cdu today! (Wasn't me, I'm not getting these for a spell).
  13. Around here Frito Pie is chili with fritos and cheese and if you're loco also onions. I brown bag about 8 days out of 10 at work. . . it's the bedrock of my budgeting system! But the walk to Clay Pit or another neighboring restaurant is good for me too! B)
  14. Well, I emailed them a link to this thread.
  15. I'm firmly aligning my hopes behind your source. -_-
  16. http://www.buyrunt.com/water.html
  17. Hey, I've always liked unconventional vocalists (and I really prefer instrumentalist/vocalists like Pops, and Tea and Fats and Una and so many others including Woody!) Clem, no I haven't heard the new Rhein set yet, will eventually.
  18. It's pretty nice---not a Brazilian Jazz Messengers if you ask me, less intense and hard. And its' a bit more samba than bossa nova but good solid stuff.
  19. I have that same animal skeith, and I love it too. . . . Costs a lot though as you note. I think it may depend on how bad your power is. My house. . . power is bad. PS Audio Power Plant made a big improvement and I won't live without it. . . .
  20. I'll have to retry Madam Mam's. . . I wasn't bowled over the first time. As for sushi. . . you can have it all, not one of my foodstuffs! B)
  21. That is what John is looking for, and it is not in print and a little difficult to find reasonably priced!
  22. Hi Bev, I'm not sure in my case nostalgia is in play. . . . I actually hear more in the music than I did before and I think not only does this tickle me but it is intriguing me to keep exploring it. For example: one thing that netted me into this recent spree is noticing a distinct similarity in playing between Kreutzman and DeJohnette. No one influencing anyone, but a similar way of connecting bass drum, tom and cymbals in patterns that both mater drummers have going on. . . . Also, as you mentioned, the sort of interaction of the guitarists with Lesh in these jams reminds me of jazz interactions that I hadn't quite absorbed and identified the first time I was a "Deadhead" and do latch right on to now. . . . Nothing about the era and time really holds nostalgic appeal for me. I'm so glad I'm not living the life I did then, alienated preacher's son in a very small town in Ohio! Anyway, I'm enjoying a lot of the music this time around. . . even those cowboy tunes, which like you I sort of skipped over before. You guys are making me realize I need to get Two from the Vault, the five cd live set, etc. . . ARGH!
  23. Waiter, he gets the check please. . . . B)
  24. Hope this may mean more to YOU than it does to me: Trumpet: Lula Sax Tenor: Schittino Trombone: Ditinho Guitar: Cacau Contra-Bass: Gerson, except one track by Capacete (?) Drums: Jurandir Percussion: Turco, Nacimento, Carlinhos, Lourinho Originally on Chantecler 1965 Dusty Groove had (has?) it for 6 bucks.
  25. Sometimes through experimentation and randomness I luck out on that!
