I'm too lazy to reply. search the board dammit. the answer is there. Hey Hey Hey! What is that - an answer??? This is the "Stupid Question Corner". It says nothing about answers, especially stupid answers! We'll have none of that here!

Omedeto Gozaimasu! (this is my attempt at Japanese, very rusty!) ...think I'll stick with: Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag!!! :rsmile:

I'm glad to hear you're ok too Brandon. I'm not sure I'd want to ride in downtown traffic in Austin, or any larger city for that matter. Too many bad drivers too worry about, not to mention buses with lots of blind spots. I've got an old Trek 1400 (circa 1991) that I plan to fix up a little bit and resume riding regularly. Used to ride with a group of people down here in Corpus Christi regularly on Saturday mornings, and occasionally weekdays as well. You wouldn't believe the types of things that happen. We've had beer cans thrown at us from trucks driving by, and drivers deliberately trying to sideswipe us. There was a female that used to ride with us, and at least twice she had people in cars/trucks reach out and try to grab/touch her as she was riding!

Noticed this one in my local Best Buy this past weekend. Anyone have this? I've never seen the film, but remember some mixed reviews back when it came out...

Doh!!!!! Where can I send you the obligatory case of Money Jungle cds, as penance for my crime?

Sorry catesta, but being in south Texas, I'm rooting for the "sorry" Spurs, THE defending champions. Ginobili outta win the 6th Man award, or whatever it's called. And Duncan is equally deserving of MVP, whether he or Garnett win it. Spurs aren't flashy like the Lakers, but they have been consistently solid, and play team ball. Lakers need to pick up their game alot, if they want to advance past the 1st round. I'm sure the Zen-Master will light a fire under them somehow.

I stayed up and watched the Lakers-Rockets game on Saturday. I think if the Rockets had taken the ball to the hoop on the final play, they could've won the game. Either by sinking the basket or getting fouled by the Lakes. I can't imagine that 3 point attempt was drawn up at all. Lakers were very lucky to escape with a win, on their own court no less. But a win's a win, either way. I read the first round is now a best of 7 series. When did they change from best of 5? Could they drag the playoffs out any longer?? It's like a complete second season of basketball (more exciting than the regular season as well).

Up - I'm still curious about this Moran disc. If it's music that's not available elsewhere, it's definitely got my attention. Thanks, Erik

Why do they do this? I placed an order for some discs (primarily some of the newer RVGs) that were listed as "in stock". I didn't realize it was only good once, and had planned to go back later in the day and make another order, for some additional discs that were on back order (available in 1-2 weeks or something like that). But I'm not doing this without the extra 15% off. Seems like they could have simply made the code good for a set period of time, instead of one-use only.

Anybody know if this was this ever issued domestically? I'm guessing not... Herbie Hancock - Riot TOCJ 66021, 1999 Tracks: 1. Riot (First Alt Take) / Herbie Hancock 2. Riot (Second Alt Take) / Herbie Hancock 3. Blind Man, Blind Man (Alt / Herbie Hancock 4. Mimosa (Alt Take) / Herbie Hancock 5. Goodbye To Childhood (Alt / Herbie Hancock 6. Prisoner (Alt Take) / Herbie Hancock 7. Firewater (Alt Take) / Herbie Hancock I'd provide the cover art, but Tower's website uses dynamic pages in the tags, whatever that means. edit - Also, what is this?? Jason Moran - "Jason Moran" TOCJ-66068 One of his domestic albums released with a different title?

Ah, c'mon John - it's easy to keep those two straight. I tend to get mixed up and confuse Jimmy Smith's "Chicken & Beer" with Ludacris', which was apparently part of the Blue Note Cover Series...

It's still there - you just can't see it...

What I want to know is which crate you store your Mosaics in...

I mentioned this album in the "listening" thread yesterday, but if anyone is interested in a Wilco project that was done after YHF, but before the new one, check out the Minus 5's "Down with Wilco". Sort of a hidden Wilco album, and well worth checking out. Wilco teamed up with Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck of R.E.M. (the only regular members in the revolving Minus 5 lineup) and put this one out. Reading the AMG write up, this album suffered a similar fate to YHF, in that it was recorded in 2001, slated to be released on a major label, got shelved, and then released on the indie Yep Roc label.

Where are you going to fit those in your listening room, couw??

Maybe because Holland is a small country, you have to make LARGE shoes??

They allowed those wooden shoes to cross the border into Deutschland?? By the way, the biggest wooden shoes I ever saw were in the Keukenhof, the world's largest flower garden.

Is this the same PFunkJazz that used to contribute positively around the BNBB?? I remember reading alot of recommendations (alot of funk related stuff, obviously), and thought he was in deep in the LA music scene. The post above doesn't even sound like the same dude. Maybe it's Kareem posting under alias?

turn it up... "Sweet Home Alabama, where the skies are so blue..."

For German artists singing in German, I used to hear a semi-rap/rock group called the "Fantastischen Vier" quite a bit on German radio and MTV. Not sure if it's in the style you're looking for, but they seemed pretty popular. Maybe the Bohse Onkelz are more your taste?

Wow - I haven't even posted in this thread, and I SUCK.

I remember being 9 years old in 1974, living in Japan. Hank Aaron came to Tokyo for a home-run hitting contest with the Japanese baseball hero Sadaharu Oh. My dad took me to this contest, which Aaron won, 10-9. The Mets were there for a game against the Japanese all-stars, and the contest was a related event, held the day before, if my memory isn't too shot. Anyway, ever since, Hank Aaron has been one of my all-time favorites. Can't say a whole lot of other baseball players since those days has ever appealed to me. Like Jim, Aaron reminds me of good times with my father, who passed away back in '91. -Erik

Just received my order, and the Dizzy "Afro" title is the mini-LP. Gotta be careful with BMG on which issue of a title they are offering. Afro is listed as "remastered", but Attica Blues isn't. Alot of times BMG will wait to clear out their inventory of older editions, before they offer the newer one. And there are also instances where they offer both the newer remaster AND the older edition, for the same price. Miles Davis Vol. 1 on Blue Note is a current example...

My first concert was also Donny & Marie, at the Budokan in about 75-76. My parents went to this, and took me along. I don't recall wanting to go at all, but I was about 10-11 at the time, so you go where you're taken. I quickly developed a liking for KISS after that, and my first "real" concert was seeing them in Frankfurt, with the original Iron Maiden lineup as the openers. This was either 1979 or 1980. Criss was no longer in the band, but they had Eric Carr and were still wearing the makeup. It was a fun show - spitting blood, breathing fire, ridiculous drum solo on a ridiculous elevating riser. I was an Ace man at the time, so had to stand stage right to watch his playing. Actually Iron Maiden made a bigger impression on me that KISS that night, probably because they seemed to be more talented musicians, despite there similar reliance on theatrics. I used to go to the old "Golden Summer Nights" concerts in Germany, as well as the "Rock am Ring" at the Nurburgring, up until the mid-80s. Those festivals were alot of fun, and had a wide variety of rock & pop artists. I'm too old for rock concerts anymore, with the exception of seeing Yes evertime they passed through Stuttgart over the past five years.

Sorry to have to tell you this, but Box Sets are usually not included on the no s/h deal. They usually sale price box sets for this reason. I know that's generally true, Jazzdog. But apparently every once in a while there is a special offer (usually sent out by email) that offers free shipping AND includes boxes. I believe some folks here have taken advantage of that sale before. Though even with shipping that Jack Johnson box ain't a bad deal at all...
