The video for that Bill Burroughs text is wonderful. I'm sure it can be found out there somewhere and I don't know where it is in this house... ...so you'll hafta settle for this audio ditty: Happy Thanksgrilling

Yes, many blessings sent to Lon and his wife for the holidays. If I'm finally caught up with emails, I'll be working on either revising a piano work or monkeying around with software and sound for a French concert coming up.

You're always on top of things!

"Wrecking Crews Begin Demolition On Denton's Fry Street" BTW - Bud Gillette's a huge Don Ellis fan!

Heard this humorous, as always, interview with him on the way home today: Waits on NPR

I had the first batch of these (a bit different than the ones at the link) and was very satisfied with them. They weren't shielded tho, so place them all at a great distance away from your monitor. The second version (at the link) look the same, but they now have ”capacitance touch“ control buttons. Don't have them any longer 'cause I needed something more - tho they were great for most listeners I think - good bass from the floor standing dome that surprised visitors.

Here ya go MG....... Fine stuff at cheeepy prices: Knock yerself out!

Beatles Medley "A bunch of Liverpudlians Londoners (mostly elderly), on the street, singing various Beatles songs, strung together with some musical backing added. From the "James Paul McCartney" TV Special Broadcast: April 16th 1973."

Notice the diet(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ana_Carolina_Reston Ana Carolina Reston Macan (1985 – November 14, 2006) was a Brazilian model. She was born to a middle class family in Jundiai, on the outskirts of São Paulo. Reston began her modeling career at the age of 13 after winning a local beauty contest in her hometown. She was represented by reknowned modeling agencies such as Ford, Elite and L'Equipe in countries such as China, Turkey, Mexico, and Japan, including prestigious ad campaigns such as Giorgio Armani. She weighed only 40 kilograms (88 lbs.) and had been hospitalized since October 25 for kidney malfunction due to anorexia nervosa and bulimia, which included a diet of only eating apples and tomatoes. Her condition became more serious and deteriorated into generalized infection that led to her death at the age of 21. At the time of death she weighed just over 36 kilograms (80 pounds). She was the second anorexic model reported to have died in 2006. Luisel Ramos, 22, suffered a heart attack in August after living on lettuce leaves and Diet Coke for three months.

Did he have much to say?

Ileck is 25. Sad nonetheless...

The website is for the 28 year old Ana Carolina da Fonseca. I'm thinking that it's a different model altogether.

You're probably thinking of "666". See the book of Revelation. Nope, Revelation doesn't bother me. I'm thinking of something more horrific: 777 (check: Aleister Crowley).

He's got 777 in his name!

Blueport? Four minutes into it and don't notice it yet. Can you say approx when?

That's interesting to hear. At this store, they had, for example, 4 Japanese pressings of On The Corner (with obi) displayed in the front rack that I'd never seen there before. I'm thinking maybe because D/FW airport is a hub -

Took advantage of their 33% sale this afternoon. Too many to list here, but I did save $155.55 - woo-hoo! The Trikont titles that I had my eyes on were gone tho Cali's right! I noticed stuff at the store that I hadn't seen before the sale. Is stuff being trucked in from other areas in order to spread it out or something? There was a customer at the counter nickle and diming about the price of his purchase I kinda thought that there might be some confusion from those who are innumerate when it comes to percentages off - especially when Tower does those "today only" 10% extra off discounts. Anyway, still plenty of jazz and classical left - actually, some of those fixtures that they have for sale looked pretty good... They were even selling a nice wall display that looked like one of those long wall TVs, but it had a poster of one of the recent ECM covers inside - changeable with your own artwork I think. Don't forget, your local store may be selling empty jewel and DVD cases (single, dual and four disc) for real cheeeeeeep!

Feel bad for him too. Eventually, it will get down to the bones, but I think most of us may be just waiting for all the fat to be cut off first.

Oh, "still", eh? Ok, I hadn't been since the beginnings of the 10% off, so I didn't even know that they were at 30%. Should go tomorrow I suppose. Thanks!

You should just make or add your own. Nearly always the best way to handle such things I think.

Al, What was the percentage off at the Dallas store? Thanks!

Yeah, if you check near the back of the book, it states that G4s won't produce the audio. Bummer...Anyway, I'll be upgrading soon.
