Man with the Golden Arm

In my mind's eye I'm using BERIGAN's avatar and the tree.

That room used to look so familiar. Great freeegin' job!

Al, You do have the "My Conception" Conn.? I remember buying that one when it first arrived a few years back. Having just 'been used to' the Burrell / Jordan version of "Minor Meeting", etc... and never even knowing at the time of a Mobley side of it I was completely blown away and bouncing in my studio chair throughout that whole romp. Then the other take of "Royal Flush" ... Oh man!!! That is one Essential Connoisseur!

hey Use3d time seems to be last week's? no? i'm an hour ahead but your two behind now. please don't master hit me. you may delete at your disgression.

Whoo boy this is the first riser to that 12 step thread... someone just needs to come out and be honest about it! Well, I try not to dip into anything but PayPal for my CD buying. And to do that one needs to cull out the collection every now and then. Help a brother out?

Didn't expect to see this name here. Saw Pere Ubu a couple of times ('78?) when I was living in Akron - yes home of Devo and smelly rubber. Never really flipped my wig as I was waaaay too young to appreciate them. I "hazily" recall that The Pretenders opened for them before they were...

I did not mean 'hit' so literally. I was just curious as I have paid Yen lately and this time I had a credit so we did it in dollars. When I first ordered a couple years back it was dollars and it seems recently he has asked for the payments in Yen. The difference is something I would like to see. But now you really got me wondering who suffers on the deal and to what extent.

Sorry to hear about this Chris. Time to get that brush chipper back in action. RRRZZZZZZZZ!

I've had Hiroshi send things via "Surface" the last two times. Like Brad, they arrived in 'quicker than AIR' time (?). What methods do others prefer and as well do you pay via Yen or US Dollars thru PayPal? I think it worked out better for me last time when I paid Dollars and let him take the conversion hit. PayPal seems a bit like cashing a travelers cheque at The Ritz.

...oh, and "Something for Sophia" is the coolest! it's like lush spy bongo fondue

Some great SHAG art work on this site. pinkpanther.com click the paw for party

Too late ... or too early?

I was curious about the "Tubbs" album... a mixed bag I surmise? Any tips here?? Here is another BFT with a couple of Ellingtonians weighing in on Tubby.

Might have posted this previously on another thread but...a freind's web service concept site is: greatnameforaband.com check it out... he likes the pennies from each hit!

I too am a cell phone-o-philiac. I always want to do that Belushi / Blutarsky thing whenever I hear one chiming "Ode to Freekin Joy!".

That is a happy song alright. I even put it on a compilation of tunes for the kids that was all kid type music except for that one! "SunDog" is pretty happy too!

Can't comment DrJ as I have the older single second re-issue re-master but go buy little J an ice-cream instead. He keeps getting cuter!

I saw this clip and have heard that the kid is to be on Letterman tonight! Man it was excruciating to watch. It seemed to go on and on. I believe he posts in the political forums here, or maybe not.

It's all a ruse to prevent those 1,500 ex-EMI employees from file sharing.

Yeah this looks like one of those cases where the bidder got a bit too antsy and did not do the homework. This set usually goes around $50 to $60 depending on the weather. Just last week in the Mosaic "Ebay craziness forum" a post about a new Brookmeyer Select had it up at $100! The bidder was one of us and the seller was old Jay and Marie! Luckily the bidder got out before he became the buyer courtesy of someone here not making fun but just giving a friendly holler. I am right now in the midst of trying to get dough out of a buyer who I think got a bit too excited and is now back-pedaling on the deal. It's tough when a bidder faults, turns into a buyer and then palys hardball with you the seller. Jazzmantom was more than accommodating to this chump. I would not worry much about the feedback. A buyer or seller can do anything they want in there and if someones gonna judge you by a single hit then business with them is better not to be.

You guys probably did not know that the "cuica" was invented by a nervous venezuelan cowboy veteranarian trying to get a rectal temp on one of those big boys.

Yes! Happy Birthday amidst that big blue sky!!!
