We all know.

Geez, I thought these were happy tunes! They are for me at least!

Apparently there is an unreleased session done after Ego. with Bruce but minus Larry Young, and add a bunch of other musicians. Don't know any thing else about it, though....

in the mail.

Sorry about that. Will send another one off to you ASAP.

Still accepting last minute requests. Don't be shy!

Discuss BFT #32 disc 2 here.

I said Monday, but I'll post these now to have them out there.

Yup. He's been doing some moving and shaking as a member of the DC Council, but to what end is still open for question. The baseball stadium situation is classic DC Council politics.

I got Paul Auster's new book as a late Christmas gift. Will crack that one open ASAP.....

I'll second that. Baggy's is my favorite.

Cds are in the mail as of this morning. Next Monday I will post a thread for the BFT guessing. Please note -- I mailed them in Netflix style mailers. I had received a bunch in the mail some time ago, and thought this would be good to use for these. If there are any problems -- damaged cds, etc. let me know and I will fire off another set for you. I have had no problems in the past.

Up, just to remind people I will be mailing cds out tomorrow. Overseas as well -- the least I can do for everyone here on the board. I can also set up another mailing deadline on Friday for those coming back from the holidays, so it won't be too late to join.

I watched this on New Years'. A highly recommended Japanese ghost story by the director of ONIBABA, to which this is a "sequel" in theme only: It is in PAL format, but I suspect those hardcore worldwide movie watchers have an all region and PAL compatible player. BIG THUMBS UP!!!!

Added, Michael. I am burning discs this weekend, and will mail them out Tuesday.

Picked up Kurosawa's "The Bad Sleep Well" Criterion at Best Buy yesterday. Isn't this supposed to come out next month????? Anyways, this is an overlooked film by him -- I highly, HIGHLY recommend this one!!!! About the corrpution that corporate power can do -- in this case, early 60's Japan, but it still applies today. Story loosely based on Hamlet. GREAT, GREAT film!

My version (bought from yourmusic.com) sounds fine. No distortion at all.

No music, cause goodness knows I don't need more music! But I got some books: The Annotated Sherlock Holmes (all three volumes) Complete Calvin and Hobbes -- you know, if used improperly this could be a deadly weapon! Complete New Yorker dvd set. And a nice suede satchel/briefcase.

The David Zinman conducting the Zurich Tanhalle Orchestra Beethoven cycle is outstanding -- equal to any other available.

The Redskins pulled off another great win, but they have to play Philly, and they must win there to be in the playoffs.

I love the Creek Integrated 50i. Great sound, almost tube like.

Depends on the library Kevin, but I agree in part with what you said. Around DC there are some great county libraries with jazz cd that are jaw dropping (ECMs, complete Mercury Vaughn/Washington, complete Miles boxes, etc.), and there are just as many who are just happy to have a few pop anc classical cds, because they don't want to be bothered with dealing with cds.

Randy and I have agreed to switch months, so I will be doing the January BFT. 2 discs, and it should be a lot of fun music to listen to. You can PM, or email me at kinggab@fastermac.net to sign up. I will be mailing cds by Dec 30. The theme is essentially hard bop, or to be more precise, music that I listen to while walking to work on a freezing day. They are a fine alternative to caffine in the morning!
