If you buy a used set, Zev doesn't profit from you. Somebody else has already taken care of that for you. 👁️‍🗨️

Yep.

That's enough. I'm putting you on ignore

Is it just my imagination or is Ethan Hawke everywhere right now? I don't even know who he is, but is name shows up on every damn non-pharmacuticsl commercial!

Hey, they're in the 51st State. So go Mariners!

I'm talking about in real life

A long while back, I make a rule not to discuss music with anybody unless I know that they know what they're getting into. And that's most people. We can talk about other stuff and we can still be friends.

I'm really hoping for an all-small(ish) market Series I don't know if Seattle or Toronto qualify, though?

Most "avant-garde" music is predictable to one degree or another. That's not at all demanding, it's quite the opposite!

I like that Genevieve Artadi!

He "heard" and "listened". What he meant was "this music is incomprehensible to me and that's their fault, not mine". It's always somebody else's fault. Nobody ever says " I don't like this because don't yet, maybe will never, understand it". You find a person who is that reality-based, you have maybe found a friend! Oh yeah, "demanding music" is more often than not a fun listen for me. And I know I'm not alone in that (and it's not just musicians). But a simple "I don't get" is adequate and honest. This "noodling" thing just bullshit. Period.

And it only took nine innings - and less than five hours! Now take care of the Dodgers, please!

You're giving them waaaay too much credit.

For decades, I played for a wedding band that was always "The Mister X Orchestra". Sometimes it was a five-piece orchestra, sometimes a sixteen-piece orchestra, anything in between, but it was always "orchestra". But there were never strings! Unless you count a fiddle player for honky-tonk numbers...

A Canadian 78!!!

This lady appeared to be in the 50-60 age range, so if "Ella Speed" is her real name, her parents (he Speeds) would have named her "Ella", that would have been in the 60s-70s. It's kinda weird to do that, considering the date of Ella in the song...

I cheated. It's a "local" band. I have the LP, but it's plowed, so this clean digital transfer is a revelation!
