Actually!!

Amazon is ready to ship next week, too: "Availability: This title will be released on December 20, 2005. You may order it now and we will ship it to you when it arrives."

Yeah.........CD Universe is now announcing: Pre-Order Now! Available: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 FINALLY ...

Whoa! Andrew Hill - $179.06. That's about 1/2 of what it used to go for.

Yeah....what's up with that? I just got the album and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.

I don't recommend this one (and I generally like Ray). Ray Manzarek - "Carmina Burana"

Windy, rainy, chilly.

Ron Carter appears on Grace Slick's "Manhole".

FIXED!!

Clock still messed up, right?

Don't even JOKE about it.

Yeah, clock off here, too.........by 6 hours. Glad it's not just me.

HA! Fat chance.

Not sure if that's a good thing or not.

Doesn't seem to be working too well today. It's not just ME, is it?

Be sure to give us your picks, BFrank! Oh, great......put me on the spot, will ya' ! I don't really know about most of this stuff. But after a first run-through of board suggestions, and random sampling I started an eMusic list of things that look most promising. Check it out, if you're interested.

There's an amazing variety of music on Tzadik. I'm having an entertaining time just listening to clips of all the music I've never heard of.

Holy CRAP! That's INSANE! There was an interesting piece on NPR recently about Zorn and the Masada songbook. He's interviewed as well as members of the band, Rashanim, who are listed under Jon Madof's name. I'll definitely be downloading some of those Masada albums as well as "Naked City Live".

I just started listening to Fahey, too. eMusic has a pretty good selection and I downloaded "Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death" and "God, Time and Causality". Fascinating music. I never gave him a chance before, but the variety of music he pours into his songs is astounding. I'm thinking I will next get "Legend of Blind Joe Death", "Dance of Death & Other Plantation Favorites" and "Live in Tasmania". I was a Loe Kottke fan ... WAY back. Started with "Mudlark" and picked up most of his Capitol albums through "Chewing Pine". Started slowing down on him when he switched to Chrysalis. Haven't listened to any of them in a long time, but great stuff.

Hey........that IS cool.

The new colors are happenin'

FWIW, Leo Records is still there. I don't know about specific Braxton albums, though.

I know it's ULTRA-tourist-y, but I still like Carnegie Deli. Second Avenue Deli is excellent, too.

Everyone see Rob Courddry from the Daily Show on this past week's episode as the sexual offender neighbor? This was one of the better shows in an otherwise (unfortunately) weak season.
