[Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield heralds a "CD Revival"]

I can't speak for new CDs, but I think that all old objects will eventually hold some sort of value to people who want the tactile object.

I always think when I hear of the disappearance of something, in this case the CD, that a revival is just around the corner

[Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?]

Enjoying a trio of Farlow, Claude Williamson and Red Mitchell, which was discussed elsewhere here (the part of Swing Guitars). Although I think THE Farlow trio was with Eddie Costa and Vinnie Burke.

The Farlow Mosaic does not have any session from the 3 musicians

No, there is only the Farlow part there. I believe.

[LPs that have never made it into CD]

Not that I have any contributions to make here, but the other day I was searching for an album called Swing Guitars on Norgran with Tal Farlow, Barney Kessel and Oscar Moore and I found out that I believe it never has had a CD release. Though I saw it's on Qobuz. By the way, the session or part of it, is on the Farlow Mosaic.

Anyone got any idea what the next Decca Explosion releases will be after the New Jazz Orchestra?

I recently got, together with a comp of British jazz from the second half of the 60s and the beginnings of the 70s, called Journeys in modern jazz: britain, two very nice soundtrack related CDs from them. One a collection of Piero Piccioni and the other a comp from moments from Italian horror movies called Paura.

I picked up Reynolds’ book on rave culture recently,

I plan on picking this up too. In the near future. Energy Flash it's called, I think. Just as the John Beltran song. I also lived through all that: electronic music in the 90s and the 2000s, so I'm interested in the book.

I have a very interesting book called Teenage. The prehistory of youth culture 1875-1945. Though not by him but another Englishman, Jon Savage.

I used to go see the midnight showing of Rocky Horror a dozen times my senior year in high school (mid-80’s), and a few times in college

I saw the movie sometime in the late 70s IIRC. I just checked and it' from 75, so it could be. And with Susan Sarandon in what I imagine as one of her first roles.

[Mosaic Sets but Especially Tina Brooks]

I think my first set was Horace Parlan. I'm not sure though.

The only downside is that the cost of obtaining original full LPs keeps going up, up, and away as more people learn about them.

Very true. But it always happens. Everywhere.

That cover was great. I still don't know if it's her or a figure. I seem to remember (maybe it's just imagination) a small plastic or rubber figure I saw somewhere.

[Whither Allen Lowe?]

Very glad to be hearing this. About your miraculous recovery. Keep going.

On the hunt for the first 1971-75 set, if any board member is interested in selling.

Same goes for me. I had the luck of getting the second box, the one with Jaco, recently. But as the first box is from 2012 I have the hope that it will be reissued this year. Let's see...

I have a Capitol CD of The Complete Goodman Trios with Mel Powell, Jimmy Rowles or Teddy Wilson. From 1999. It was probably culled from that box.

Hat off to Ghost who hipped me to this. It's an in-depth survey on glam rock and its followers, by Simon Reynolds, one of the most interesting writers on popular culture from the last times. I know his Retromania, Pops obsession with its own past. Turns out he's my age. So he's lived through both glam and post punk. Just as me: the first as a kid, the second in my twens. Glam and Post punk are the two faces of the same coin. And Reynolds has books on both, which I both have.

Thanks. Yes, maybe this was beyond her time with Mapplethorpe.

By the way, now that I look at it again, is this a Mapplethorpe photo? It could be, because they were engaged and often collaborated artistically. There are many Mapplethorpe pictures of her.

[What rock music are you listening to? Non-Jazz, Non-Classical.]

Sorry for the size, but it's the only pic I found. A very nice collection of italian soundtrack music for terror movies. With Morricone, Bruno Nicolai, Riz Ortolani and many others I don't remember right now.

[How's the weather?]

Here it's been really hot during the second December half. Contrary to what it was on the first. But really record breaking hot. There have been even people on the beach and the sea on New Year.

Great covers, but what is it that he's carrying on the second and which reflects also to the other side?

But now with the uncomparable

I like that album sooo much. And it has such a load of good songs.
