Sneaking a few listens in this cool morning before I have to go back to the dealership with my car. Starting off with the expanded Charles Mingus “The Carnegie Hall Concert–Deluxe Edition,” Rhino 2 cd set, disc 1–the newly released first part of the concert. The sound is so good! A reissue truly done right!

I don't watch the Price is Right so I'm not sure I can make comparisons. On Project Runway there are definitely some pretty models, and some that are not that pretty imo, but that's not what we are focused on in the series. It's hosted by Heidi Klum if that makes a difference. She is pretty.

There are models. . . but the focus is on the designs and designers. My wife loves this show and it has been gone a few years, now returned.

No it's a fashion designer competition.

Hermeto Pascoal e Grupo “Live at Planetário da Gávea”

Thank you! It was a nice mellow one.

A cool morning punctuated by the sound of the garbage trucks in the neighborhood. Squeezing in some listening before going off to the car dealer. . . . Horace Tapscott and the Pan-Afrikan Arkestra “Live at the UCC March 25, 1979” Nimbus West cd Alll these in the series are great listens. This one is nicely recorded.

Thanks! It was nice and mellow.

Wow, I didn't know it was his birthday as well!
