connoisseur series500 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 BTW, I think the Babe thread is fine (though I love to make jokes about it.) My only problem with it is that it takes too long for the pictures to show up, so I get bored and move on. Same goes for the Art thread. Wish I had the patience for that one. Also I don't remember how to post pictures. And I don't know the websites to visit like Beri and Jazzbo and Sangry and Evan do. Hey Evan or Couw, I've got an idea for a thread: post a famous painting and let's all interpret it--humorous or serious. Sounds like fun!!

What was good then was good, but life goes on, things change, and doing something good now is more important to me than attempting to recreate a Camelot that may or may not have been illusory in the first place, and right here right now right on is working for me just fine, thank you very much.

Well my little Texas gunslinger, I haven't any more time to discuss your fantastic suggestions that I'm not a citizen of Old Europe or that ze Rot Menace and I are somehow joined at the hip. Almost as fantastic as the wicked rumor making the rounds zat all new employees in your place of business try to get on your good side by purchasing your 9-part deluxe lecture series on tube amplifiers. Comrades, comrades, please!!! Is it any coincidence that shortly after your fracas the board went down for more than an hour??? Please, no more smashed tubes and flying beersteins!!! Surely we must all observe an honorable detente. And to make matters clear, I have nothing to do with this Freudian Achtung fellow, friend though he may be. Is it not obvious that we harbor zealously different ideologies??? I opt for class struggle while the good doctor urges those who are troubled to stretch out supine upon a couch. Although I must confess that I too am currently supine upon a couch, watching this wonderful TVLand channel. This Fantasy Island program is prime stuff!!!

David Ayers Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 On the plus side, BNBB Europe could be a useful place to vent about copy control. I was also thinking that, since we know where all the old BNBB material is in cyberspace, I would sign up under all of the old handles and then painstakingly reconstruct the old board by entering every single post individually on BNBBE, time delayed by five years, day by day, so 14 Feb 1999 becomes 14 Feb 2004 and so on day after day...

Brad Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I'm with Jim and Grey on this. BNBB was nice but this place has turned into something very special, what with the Blindfold Test, the Album of the Week, etc. I don't really check AAJ and while I'll check BNE and I say a lot of familiar names over there already, this is where I like. A lot of good diversity here. Why try to reinvent something when the real thing is here. I also don't see the point of getting back into old arguments and I'm glad to see it didn't happen. I do wish that Kevin would post more here however. We can use as much information as there probably is to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 No. First of all because I don't have a lot of time for this sort of thing and I feel that what time I do have is very well spent over here. Also, I think BNE will probably not take kindly to criticism of Norah Jones and heavy censorship will probably be the result and since I already have enough aggravation in my life I feel no need to add to it. I do agree with Kevin about the conduct of some of the old BNBB members contributing to the demise of that board and it never hurts to exercise some restraint but the idea of someone breathing down your neck over every word you say particulary about Norah Jones-well it just isn't worth it as far as I'm concerned. At this point in time about all Blue Note is good for is the reissues. Third-I've moved on and this board is a place where I feel at home.

How about a refresher course in why Blue Note died shortly after Norah Jones' CD was released? Notice our own Jim Sangrey adding fuel to the fire. I never appreciated his attitude on this one. I stand by my statement: WE killed Blue Note... no one else but us. BTW, you can't even begin to imagine how close we came to getting the old BN board shut down over this thread!! Blue Note didn't have the manpower to watch that board and relied on us to police it ourselves. We failed. Oh yeah, for the record, the poster who once posted as "Norah Jones" on the old board? It turns out it was that Norah Jones.

Thanks for weighing in with the verdict Alexander. Granted, it would be pretty hard to argue that some of Norah's material is jazz. However, just because some (or even most) of it isn't jazz, doesn't mean it all isn't jazz. For example have you heard Norah's recording of "Peace"? I'd like someone to tell me why it isn't jazz.

She's just not a "jazz musician". Neither is Cassandra Wilson, for that matter (although she has a greater claim to the term). I like her CD, people, so stop jumping on me. I knows jazz when I hears it, though. This is "jazzy pop", much like Van Morrison and Joni Mitchell (both of whom I love). Elvis Costello gets "jazzy" at times too ("Almost Blue", "Shipbuilding", "The Poisoned Rose"), but that doesn't make him jazz. Bobby Darin was a pretty hip cat? Is "Beyond the Sea" jazz? I didn't think so. I'm one of the world's biggest Frank Sinatra fans, but I don't consider him jazz (however influenced he may have been *by* jazz). I don't get hung up over the distinction. I enjoy non-jazz AND jazz equally. I'm just saying that from an objective stand-point, Norah Jones' music isn't "jazz" per se (like Rosemary Clooney, who I also like). I'm not putting her down, I'm just stating a fact. Norah Jones doesn't play jazz. Miles Davis didn't play rock. George Clinton played funk. It's all good! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 935 | From: Albany, NY USA | Registered: Oct 1999 | IP: Logged Paul Christie Member Member # 163 posted April 22, 2002 06:01 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey Tom, Don't you reckon it's time this particular thread was nuked? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 513 | From: Adelaide, SA, Australia | Registered: Aug 99 | IP: Logged Alexander Member Member # 449 posted April 22, 2002 09:32 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, this is driving me nuts. Is everyone advocating that this thread be deleated because Aric is an insensitive boob, or because I had the temerity to suggest that Norah Jones' music isn't jazz? Just tell me that, and I'll give up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 935 | From: Albany, NY USA | Registered: Oct 1999 | IP: Logged Paul Christie Member Member # 163 posted April 23, 2002 05:47 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cool it Alexander... it doesn't seem like everyone is advocating removing this thread, by any means, and anyway it has nothing to do with your comments on the style of her music (which are perfectly valid comments). I suggested removal of the thread because of the inappropraite comments made by Affron - it seems incredible to me that Blue Note would permit one of their current big ticket artists, Ms Jones, to have her reputation even slightly tarnished by having it linked with adolescent statements re female artists getting it off with their band members, gang-banging and so on. At the very least, the unsavoury posts should be removed. I also feel a bit uncomforatble about naming her boyfriend, unless that was her wish. OK, so she dates her bass player - that's nice for her, and I wish her happiness - but I don't see why Blue Note should tolerate low-grade smutty speculation about her private life on this board. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 513 | From: Adelaide, SA, Australia | Registered: Aug 99 | IP: Logged chris olivarez Member Member # 2299 posted April 23, 2002 09:02 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul-I'll second that this whole thread is pretty much a load of rubbish.I know -"why am I posting here?". If this gets deleted along with everything else on this thread that's alright with me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 150 | From: pagosa springs | Registered: Nov 2001 | IP: Logged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
