ghost of miles Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 what ever happened to all the fun in the world? here? quiet! look at that last post from B3er in that thread, we don't want to piss him off, besides I promised him to ease off on crazy amounts of posts last Summer. See, that's what I meant! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 I'd rather listen to the music. I have books if I want to read something... This reminds me of a comment someone made here (and I apologize in advance if I offend) about giving a disc a 'serious listen' while reading the liner notes. Sorry, that's not a serious listen any more than listening while reading the newspaper. Concentrate on the music! Some of us can multi-task. Come on, only a teenager doing his homework would use that... If you're not devoting your full attention to the music, you're not getting everything out of it you could. Of course, if your the type to take a laptop to a concert... Quote

7/4 Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 I miss the hijinks too! I told B3er I'd cut it out. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 I miss the hijinks too! I told B3er I'd cut it out. Some forums actually have specific threads devoted to hijinks... We should have a "bottomless pit" thread, so we could just shoot the bull. Quote

AfricaBrass Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 has anyone noticed how "God" has had his/her hand in tons of bad albums--he/she seems to favor hip hop. Damn! I never thought about that... Quote

I'd rather ask/read stupid questions all day and laugh myself silly. Quote
Brad Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 I actually find them pretty useful but it also depends who's writing them. Ira Gitler is a must read. The music is good but the liner notes should try to tell you about what the musicians are doing. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 Seriously... I really enjoy liner notes, but I usually wait to read them until I've listened to an album at least 2 or 3 times. That way I have heard the music with my own perspective and then when I do read the liners, oftentimes it enriches the music for me. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 La Monte Young told me...... That must have taken some time. Quote

chris olivarez Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 The liners are still there but they're lengthy and the size of a pinhead which make's them a real chore to read. Plus it seems that the record companies want to put them on the darkest paper possible which just adds to the annoyance. Quote
alankin Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 Apropos endless credits, has anyone noticed how "God" has had his/her hand in tons of bad albums--he/she seems to favor hip hop. You beat me to it, Chris--a pattern I've also noticed in many new jazz releases of the past few years, where "The Creator" is often cited for thanks and/or involvement in the proceedings. God needs something to do in between sports seasons. Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 It seems to me that there is no longer "in between sports seasons" - they all have been extended so there is instead considerable overlap. Mike Quote
Randy Twizzle Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 I picture God sitting on his/her heavenly throne, when one of his/her flunkies enters and announces " I have good news my Lord, Cyrus Chestnut has publicly thanked you for making his latest CD possible." Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 And the response: [take your pick] A. "And who the hell - is Cyrus Chestnut?" B. "Oh no, not going to pin that one on me....." C. "Yeah, yeah, well have the promo copies arrived? I'm planning on trading those in for some store credit." Mike Quote
Leeway Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 And the response: [take your pick] A. "And who the hell - is Cyrus Chestnut?" B. "Oh no, not going to pin that one on me....." C. "Yeah, yeah, well have the promo copies arrived? I'm planning on trading those in for some store credit." Mike Or maybe, "Whew, that's a relief, I thought it was that damn George W. Bush, trying to get me to endorse his Iraqi deal" B-) I'd rather God was importuned on the part of some recording artist than manhandled by all the politicos, reverands and mullahs in quest of more warfare.
