Son-of-a-Weizen

Yeah, the Wash. Post ran some piece a few days ago that had some Santas pulling in $30K for a one month tour of mall duty (10-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week). That's alota TOCJs.

I always thought that it was the label (top) side of the disc that you wanted to keep scratch free......however, I accidentally put a hideous looking gouge in the top of an LD CD-R the other night and it still played fine. Toward the center of the disc it was.

This looks like the U.S. release.....and they now have it listed as a 15% off sale item (about $14). http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...0673314-1782638

Nope, you got him!

The 'Live at The Rat' 2-fer (Rat Records) from '76 with DMZ doing 'Boy From Nowhere" and 'Ball Me Out'....and The Real Kids "Who Needs You" & "Better Be Good'.

Used to catch them all down Kenmore Square at The Rat. Some great memories in that place...you ever go? That Real Kids guitarist (Billy) was a serious wild man and a waste case to boot. I think the last time I saw those boys, they got into some wild beer pitcher swinging melee with a couple of nitwits in the front who'd tossed a little suds their way. You know who produced the DMZ lp? Flo & Eddie. Long live 'Cinderella' and 'Don't Jump me Mother' are personal favs. Mono Mann should still love me....I was the only guy south of the Mason-Dixon line who ever spun his LP (religiously) on air!

One reviewer said that he drops the tenor on the last track and proceeds to basically butcher some Ornette composition with a saxello. Is it really that bad? Apart from that, the review makes this out to be a pretty good LP (w/Flanagan, A.T.).

That part doesn't make sense. Has a company like that ever produced a run of less than a few dozen cars with a certain color scheme?...or even 100? Heck, I think I had one of those back in the 70's and wound up putting it on the train tracks near my house just to see it get flattened like a quarter.

Forget the cd.........tell your wife you'll only put up with the in-laws next week if she gets with the program ASAP and snags this for you: B) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3&category=1078

Okay....thanks Jim. Can the Jazztet (Mercury) title ("Another 'Git Together") be far behind???

I was looking around for some info on that upcoming 'Jazztet' release and found a site that said that Curtis Fuller abruptly bolted the band -- without giving notice -- after a performance at the Brooklyn Paramount theater (in '60?). Must have been an interesting little spat. Anyone heard the 'Big City Sound' vinyl? Worth picking up this new cd?

A 5-day listing that picks up 2,800 hits in the first 2 days? Impressive.

Not Trak.....Mach!

There's another one with Saddam in a Gillette Trak II ad...have you seen this?

Naw, crazy is when someone spends $180 for a bottle of some 'ol blended scotch like that Johnny Walker 'Blue label'!! Next time Dova, we'll have a secret auction away from all these prying eyes. p.s. -- which instrument are you playing in your profile photo?

Toshiba TOCJ 9386(Bethlehem)24 bit,New Harper,Herbie/Herbie Harper* 2200 Toshiba TOCJ 9388(Bethlehem)24 bit,New Mitchell,Red/Happy Minor* 2200 When you plug in the catalogue #s for these two titles over at Amazon Japan, there isn't a pre-order prompt. Have they been delayed?

Well now we know why Albertson hasn't been around the board in awhile?

Same here (except we weren't in the car) -- loved the 'Merry 'ole Soul' numbers but grimaced at the choral arrangements that preceded them on disc 3.

Hey watch yourself Out2Lunch....or one of those big 'ol prized Brazilian parrots of yours might just wind up at the neighborhood stray cat X-mas dinner-in-the-alley function next week!

No shit, no posts since Dec 2nd. That is some serious cutting back. He's over in Japan with Tanno attending the 2003 Blue Plastic Bag Convention. He's okay....I chatted with him about some japanese cd 'stuff' a few days ago.

All the LPs released by Boston-area bands in the 70's.....DMZ, The Neighborhoods, The Real Kids.

Once upon a time, someone mentioned an interesting technique for eliminating a slight LP warp. It involved sandwiching the vinyl between some heavy duty glass and leaving it in the sun for a very short period. He was quick to caution that he'd never actually tried it himself. If only I'd walked away from the tube and bagged watching the end of the 7th inning, that LP might still be alive.

Hey, it's your B'Day! ...so put down that weak pils and pound down a couple of hi-octane Bock tonite!!

A Kelly Blue XRCD (61070) ad I saw lists a (+2)....anyone know what the two extra tracks are? ***...another 'Q' for the XRCD experts -- why the 2 separate titles within Heritage of Jazz series??? 61039: ART PEPPER - ART PEPPER MEETS THE RHYTHM SECTION 61041: ART PEPPER - ART PEPPER MEETS THE RHYTHM SECTION +1

Interesting sites.
