Not sure about CDs, but I think MP3s are getting thicker.

On the flip side of things, we've had a colder than normal summer here in SF - 50s-60s pretty much every day.

I believe the Austin Motel is known for it's sign, not to mention that it's a stone's throw from the Continental Club.

Rock on, Lon! Hope your day was great.

I would apportion most of my time to Austin. That way if you DO have some spare time, you can: a) hang with some "O" members, b) see some great music, or c) have a good meal.

Just got tix to see Zooid at SF Jazz in a couple of months. Looking forward to it.

My problem is that I don't really like "modern action flicks". (but I'm sure they look GREAT)

Just got P-Tree's "Anesthetize" in Blu-Ray today. Watched some of it - very nice/very clean. Can't wait to see the whole thing. BTW - it's available and reasonably priced at CD Universe if anyone is trying to track this down.

Another trippy video from the Sadies latest album.

Wayne Snorter, Hilly Biggins, Puke Dearson, etc., etc. ...

Just got a reminder email from True Blue about the deleted BNs. Includes a CLASSIC BN-like typo, too! Kenny Dorham - Trompeta Toccata (RVG Remaster) $12.98 Tompeta Toccatta, made in September 1964 would be the final recorded collaboration by Dorham and Hoe Henderson. This one features soulful, but challenging originals and brilliant solo work from all. "Night Watch" is a bluesy, lyrical masterpiece

Makes perfect sense to ME!

You can't have an instro rock page without anything by Booker T & the MGs.

Alright Buzz! We want a review of the show! Will do! (if I go)

Kind of amazing: Sit back, close your eyes, relax, and picture yourself in the beautiful surroundings of Newport, Rhode Island during the summer of 1964. Here is the entire day's worth of music from July 4th of that year.

Check out 'Animals', Bev. I think you'd enjoy it quite a bit actually. I don’t think any of PT’s albums are fusion, new age, or filler-ish. Perhaps you should listen to Porcupine Tree’s music before pronouncing judgment about them being “samey”. P-Tree will be here in a couple of weeks. I screwed up and didn't get advanced reserved seating. It's too late for that now. I may still get ticket in Gen Admission and deal with the "floor crowd".

Oh, yeahhhhhhhhhh. It's a REAL burner!

Good luck with everything, guys. Sorry I was never able to see the band, so the albums will have to suffice.

I contacted eMusic after reading and corroborating your post. They said they would look into it, yet today I see they put several new 1201 titles on their website, again with tracks missing. They claim the record company is responsible for the error, but it's their decision to keep selling incomplete albums. It is indeed the label that decides what to put up, how much to charge (for album-only downloads), and what to "fix" or not. What you say is indeed true, but what eMusic sells is up to eMusic. Knowingly selling something that is incomplete is just plain wrong. On a more positive note, check out fellow board member David Weiss' latest release Snuck In. A live date featuring David on trumpet, J.D. Allen on tenor sax, Nir Felder on guitar, Matt Clohesy on bass, and Jamire Williams on drums - it's a burner! And it's only 5 credits! :: OK.........got the Weiss album. Thanks for the tip! (kinda sux for him to get only 5 credits worth of payment, though)

I just may do that.

I recently got a Sony BluRay that came free with my Sony TV. Haven't used it much for video and I don't have any BluRay disks yet. Been thinking I need to get some. B&N is having a 1/2 off sale on Criterions - probably a good place to start.

There must have been a dozen different pieces in the NY Times today. Crazy!

Guitarissimo

I was in The City last week to watch the semi-pro Giants vs. the [hated] Dodgers. Long story short, I went through Priceline and got a deal on the SFO Hyatt. So I called ahead to ask about the temperatures. They told me it had been hot, you know, in the mid-70s to low 80s. Well, there ya go! Perfect.

on the chilly side.... probably mid-50's this evening.
