  1. The birds ate her - alife, I must add - just merely a second after this photo was shot...
  2. Hi everybody! I seeded a FLAC-ed show on dimeadozen.org recently (the Bley/Swallow, in case), and someone posted there, and sent me a PM too, that he's getting the following error message: He is using a Mac. I have not the slightest knowledge about how to handle FLAC files on a Mac (I don't know sh*t about Macs, anyway, never used one), and I'm not the brightest guy in regard to this technical stuff (some may generalise that statement...) Thanks for any help!
  3. Have a good one, Joe!
  4. I love the Roost set! One of my favourite box sets ever! In those early Getz was so good, his sound just reaches out for your soul. And there's a few miraculous moments, musically ("Imagination", for instance, and much of the live date...)
  5. sad times!

    Patchen quickly touched base with the beats, but that's about all I know about him... there's another Kenneth, Rexroth, to make things more confusing, but he, too, only was marginally involved with the beats. If this is sort of a new and Bötz-ish attempt at "jazz and poetry", it might be worth hearing, indeed!

    I got the email two days after paying, so don't worry yet! Yes, I'm not worried as it's a mailing confirmation mail! That may take a few days - I would be worried only if it was an order confirmation mail, because that should come faster than after two days! I also ordered five CDs from Rossbin and did not get a confirmation from them at all. CDs, however, arrived after less than one week. Thanks! I'm just a bit anxious because from the two items I ordered one has "very few" left and another one is on the endangered list, too... I hope the best! Flurin, if you don't get some of the Rossbin stuff, I will gladly provide a worthy substitute in the form of some ultraviolent music... bluish stuff, you mean seriously: you got all of their releases? and all are crap-ish? doesn't sound so bad from what 7/4 posted... there may be at least one or two worthwhile things there?

    Oh, and on the new-agey-ness... guess where I got the second line in my sig from?

    I received an email from Rossbin stating that the discs were being mailed. Thanks for telling, John! It's been 24 hours now that I sent the money, so I hope I'll get a message pretty soon, too!

    Did you at least awake refreshed? Cold Blue I googled and found it myself. Obviously no metal, but what IS it? Mood music? Bubbling electronica? Those write ups sound quite new-agey, and I don't know any of the artists involved, so... please enlighten me! No comment So my notion *was* right, in the end? Go for Ludwig Van for lashings of the ultraviolent! Guess there's not the slightest need in ordering any of the blue stuff, yes? Though what 7/4 wrote makes them sound a little less bad...

  15. Very nice read, that article. Thanks for sharing! Is there any book with photos of Levey? Or at least some "famous" album covers he did? I think the Getz West Coast 3CD set has some great b/w photos of Levey, but that's all I can think of right now.

    wtf is "cold blue"? some hard rock double delta label? From the Enjas, the Minafra looks nice. Biondini is good, but I have no idea who that sax player is. *** I gave the Sugimoto/Krebs and the Beins a thought, too! Tell me how they are once you get them, John! Does one get any other mail from the fellas, or just the PayPal one? I have only gotten the PayPal message that I sent the money, not heard anything else. ubu

    "our ur" sounds remarkable! The other one you didn't order is the one Nate recommended a few pages up. Which is the third you ordered? Or did you order only two?

    Let us know what you think! I've got three of those en route to me now, too. Three of those on my list? if so, as you have "luwa", you ordered the Curran, too? Got some tape or minidisc with some performance of his Simphonia or what it's called, though it has been long since I had that in my hands... can't remember if/how much I liked it.

    just ordered the following four Rossbins: NMperign/Günter Müller: "More gloom, more light" Kawasaki / Akiyama / Kahn: "Luwa" Assumed Possibilities: "Still Point" Alvin Curran / Domenico Sciajno: "our ur" Hope I'll like them! Thanks to double delta, John B and Nate for recommending the first three, the fourth I'll have to blame myself if I don't like it... ubu

    Could have gotten the Actis Dato birds disc in that sale, but a short listen did not do much for me... maybe I was wrong? You have it?

  23. had to delete the last post, the images do not show really... go here to have a look at some other goggomobils - these are a bit more special. Check the pickup for laughs! and what makes them special? first of all the coolest name ever for cars, no?
  24. nothing beats a goggomobil:
  25. I made a few remarks about the BFT thing getting too fast for my liking in the past, but that was mostly because the answers were posted merely a day or so after I'd had a chance to finally spin the disc(s), not because the discs came in too fast - what I would prefer is more time with the discs, not longer waits between. I know how much work it is to put a BFT together, but I and several others have asked to be moved up a few places when it became obvious that it would be a hassle otherwise. No offense, Rooster, but that's what I think you ought to have done - it seems there's always someone who's waiting for his turn and has the discs done, already, thus, imho this should be sort of a "standard procedure" in case someone cannot pull it through in time (a week or two of waiting is still "in time" in my book). And again, this has nothing to do with the span the discussion is open!
