I never followed him that much, but always liked this album.

Definitely one of the more interesting and unique bands to come along in the last 50 years. I got to see them 3 times: in 1974 and then two times in 2009 performing The Royal Scam (once with Larry Carlton sitting in).

VERY nice!

I thought the New Directions band was an excellent combination of personalities. Unfortunate that they only recorded 2 albums (AFAIK).

RIP, John! Another interesting project that he played with.

Not exactly "ice cream," but ...

RIP, Val.

Saw him just a few months ago. Very entertaining set, and his drummer Mark Guiliana was impressive, too!

Hard to say, but top 5 (in no particular order) would be: Gerald Wilson, Blue Mitchell, Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams, Larry Young, Thad Jones

Awwwwwwwww ... THANKS, man!

At the end of Scott's note about the Chick Webb video he says: "Stay tuned for more Teddy Wilson on Mosaic!!" Since it's kind of buried, hard to know if that statement still holds true.

I used to see him around SF in the 70s-80s and saw the premier of "Fool For Love" at the Magic Theatre w/Ed Harris and Kathy Baker in '83. I liked his work a lot - both as a playwright and actor.

Got it yesterday - that was FAST!

Fakebook is mostly acoustic covers ... but good! New Wave Hot Dogs and President are 2 of my favs, but very different from Painful. The Prisoners of Love collection is excellent, too.

There are sort of two Yo La Tengos - the first 4-5 albums, and all the ones after. The earlier albums are definitely more garage-y.

Oops! Missed that one!

They're teaming up with Robyn Hitchcock to perform his first album "Black Snake Diamond Role" at the Fillmore in September. I would DEFINITELY go but unfortunately I'm going to be out of town.

I still use my Nano. It works great, holds LOTS of tunes and takes up practically NO space. Also, it saves me from draining my phone battery.

Ordered the t-shirt and CD bundle. THANKS!

It's a little hard to find, for sure. I just had a packaging issue and couldn't match the pre-sets to get the answer I wanted. I finally got to a place where I could send an email and they responded in less than 12 hours. It was definitely a human response, because the item was no longer in stock and they gave me some options for a refund or replace with a 3rd party seller. They were surprisingly helpful.

Mine arrived yesterday. Looking forward to this one.

I've had the Hartman album since it came out and it's one of his strongest dates, IMO.
